Some more classic NYHC rarities. First is the 1984 demo with Tommy Rat (Trip 6, Psychos, Rejuvenate) on vocals. The sound quality on the first track is a bit rough, but it's like this on all versions i've heard, including the recent bootleg demos LP. After that the quality is really good, considering this is 25 years old, and this is most likely the loudest and cleanest rip of this demo you'll find. Next is the Street Kids demo, recorded live at Some Records. This one has all the classic Warzone songs, and in my opinion is much better than the records these songs were released on. Once again the quality is great, and probably the best you'll find. Ending the collection is a dozen tracks from Skinhead Youth, the pre-Warzone band with Raybeez on vocals, recorded live in 1984 at CBGB. A few of these tracks were later reworked into Warzone songs, and others you'll only hear in this live set. Enjoy.

Yeah, there seems to be a problem. I'll re-upload this after work and put up a new link.
ReplyDeleteFresh link.
ReplyDeletecan you put up the original revelation Warzone Lower East Side Crew 7"?
ReplyDeleteEating Crow, i do have a rip of the Lower E Side Crew 7", but that record is just random tracks from the demo recorded at Some Records, which is posted here in its entirety, with much better sound quality.
ReplyDeleteJust downloaded... thanks! I have the first 2 albums on CD but its great to hear these alternate versions for the rawness factor. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove it man just love it but could you post those rips of the original Revlation EP too.
ReplyDeleteElvis
Elvis, like i said before, the 7" is just tracks from the demo i posted, in shitty quality.
ReplyDeleteBut if you really want it for some reason, email me.
Vin
I've heard there was a Skinhead Youth studio demo (1984?) do you know anything about this or happen to have it???
ReplyDeleteGreat blog!
Tim, i have a rip of the Skinhead Youth demo, but it's unlistenable. Seriously, if it wasn't one of the worst sounding rips of any demo i've ever heard, i'd post it.
ReplyDeleteAh bummer, well the search continues. Not exactly a #1 want anyways. "Fuck Rock" post blew my mind -- talk about unexpected.
ReplyDeleteAnyways bummer to hear you'll be cutting back on the blog, it's consistently great.
Also I'll be sure to keep an eye out for the revised Warzone Rarities here -- I REALLY appreciate your perfectionism, can't emphasize that enough!
ReplyDeleteTim, thanks. The revised Warzone collection is the next thing i'll be working on. I'll post an update when it's done.

Roger Vin, thanks in advance. Just sent you an e-mail. I just like the mix and cuts of the 45. I think "Always-a friend for life" was missing from my download.

RIP RAYBEEZ
ReplyDeletethankd for the great music. as far as i can see and maybe i am mistaken but the tracklist to the lower east side crew has songs that aren't on the streetkids demo.
ReplyDeletei'd like a rip of the 7'' just to hear it the way it comes from the vinyl, i got the rerecorded cd but its prolly not the same
ok
peace
