Back in the day limited editions used to garner my interest even if the band didn’t, I almost bought the debut Radiohead album because it was being sold for under £5, to this day I thank the Lord I didn’t and that my then impressionable ears were not shaped by those pointless fools. Anyway, back to Napalm Death. My first impressions of ND were ‘was that it’ on hearing there 1 second track, but enjoying seeing them on childrens tv:
But, again it was John Peel that hooked me on them as a band. I used to tape his show on school nights and listen to it the next day, one evening he played ‘Circle of Hypocrisy’ from the then new Harmony Corruption album. Something about the songs riff had me playing it again and again and even though at the time I was opposed to growled vocals that song had me thinking about buying the album. So, when I saw an advert for the record promoting a limited edition vinyl edition with a free live record I was sold…or... it was sold. The band have become firm favourites of mine, I like what they stand for and how they stand for it. I’d seen the same bootleg knocking around the Internet at 128kbps; this is a vinyl rip at 320kbps.
Just grabbed the 2LP edition off ebay this evening and wanted to check out the live tracks online but they were nowhere to be found. Except this old blog! So cheers mate for uploading them, and for your writeup.
