Latest in the series, five late '70s punk outfits w/booklet. As ever, the majority of these cuts come from previously unreleased demos/acetates etc.
THE PRECAUTIONS from Portsmouth contribute 4 melodic punk tracks from 1979, the singer reappearing to front Red Letter Day the following decade. RU12 from Coventry are next up with both sides of their insanely-rare (100 copies) 7" plus two more studio tracks that recently surfaced. Scotland's BELSEN HORRORS included a later member of the Exploited and future garage bands such as the Wildebeests & Green Telescope. They were a chaotic 1978-79 band that managed a few gigs and just one recording before tiring of their moniker, turning into Barbed Choir and then splitting up. F/EFFEKT were a short-lived Surrey punk band that made an acetate (6 copies) of a proposed 7" that went no further. Finally, THE MISTAKES were Roxy Club/ Vortex support staples in 1977-78 who included a young Max Splodge on drums
