BOREDOMS "SOUL DISCHARGE"

i remember seeing, in one of sal's many metal maniacs, an article on some japanese bands.
two in particular. s.o.b and the boredoms.
i was like, "what the hell is goin' over there? metal in japan?".
i was 13 or 14, man, gimme a break!
i saw that there was a girl in the boredoms.
which fascinated me since i've always liked "rockin' chicks".
there was no internet available to paupers like us in those days so that was it... some cool looking bands from japan that surely was hard to get a hold of any of their records in fontana.

one day sal told me he was going to rhino records in claremont.
i asked my parents if i could go and they said no.
bummed out i thought i would just give sal 2 bucks so he could bring me back something from the used tape section.
i always trust sal to have something cool on deck.
but nothing could have prepared me for what was to come.
i'm not sure if it was later on that same day or the next but when i saw him i said, "hey, where's my tape?"
he went inside his house and came back out with "soul discharge"!
holy shit!
that cool looking japanese metal band.
in my hands.
he was like, "yeah, man, you'll like it. its noisy."
noisy metal?
put the tape in the deck, took a breath, pushed play and was blown to smitherfuckinreens!
but this wasn't metal!
this was punk like a muthafucker!
the weirdest punk i've ever heard!
i loved it!
i got lost in it!
everything was perfect here... the two drums on the same beat but not, guitar, bass and those vox!
HOLY SHIT THOSE VOX!!!
both eye and yoshimi!
!!!!!!!!

ok.
calm.

this is the japanese release that came out in '99.
difference between this one and my '89 tape is 5 extra track.
the first and last four.
have fun with this.
play it super loud and scare the shit out of yourself.

my most prized tape that i own.
