V/A - KILLED BY DEATH # 16

Un volume rarement croisé dans les bacs paru en 96 en 500 exemplaires, si la pochette est une reprise du volume 1 avec quelques différences qu'il est facile de trouver, le concept est totalement différent, il s'agit là d'un album d'archives de Michael Lucas, des enregistrements live et démos de 77 et 78 avec The Blank et les Junior Executives, l'essentiel de la scène de San Mateo? A l'instar du volume 11, c'est une pièce pour les passionnés d'archéologie du punk rock. Pure Lo-fi.

"Here is the ultimate in "concept" comps. 100% San Mateo, a town with no "scene" whatsoever in 1977 or 1978 (or any time since, probably), all teen, all loser in the San Francisco "punk" scene (where even the winners got little more than bad drug habits and a couple of singles out). The Junior Executives did have one awful single in a later incarnation, but the Blank are one of S.F.'s nastiest secrets. Thanks to Michael for the tapes and liner notes (enclosed). High School Punks still rule!"

Side A recorded live at the Mabuhay Gardens, May 28, 1978. Although the individual tracks are listed, it is all one continuous track on the record.

B1-B6 are covers recorded for "History Of Rock" school project, March 1978.
B7 (live demos, August 1978)
B8 (recorded Spring 1977)
