From the linear notes:
"Contained herein is genuine 'lost' treasure of original and authentic American Punk/No Wave circa 1979-81 that now in 2017, nearly 40 years after the recordings were made, a whole generation later, you only just deserve to hear. The Sickness are 'year zero' for a lineage of notorious bands who followed namely The Groinoids. Kilslug and Upsidedown Cross, all now infamous in their own right, for many of the wrong reasons, but now it's time for the band where it all started, who in it's own unassuming way could possibly be the most important of all, to be overlooked no longer and finally get the credit it so rightfully deserves.
Every badly strummed out-of-tune guitar chord, every missed snare hit, when they all go out of time with eachother and the whole thing so nearly falls apart completely ... You just can't fake it - This is the real deal ... Add the seriously unhinged vibe dripping off every second of these recordings, the raw 'lo-fi' sound being another seal of authenticity, the peculiar lyrics delivered by a unique whiney drawl of a voice you either love or loathe which once absorbed will always be instantly recognisable. If music reflects the personality of it's creator/s, it's no surprise the creators of these fantastic dirges were known as the local "drug taking weirdos" and often shunned as social lepers, thus providing the fertile ground on which The Sickness would spew. "From the start, they were sick people making sick music for sick people ... in a scene full of healthy jocks".
This record includes the songs from the LONG out of print '81 EP "Corpsemonger" b/w "Regurgitation" 7"- along with unreleased studio, live & rehearsal recordings plus exhaustive liner notes.
Housed in a nicely screen printed sleeve, released by ОПАЧИНА
