V.A. “BUKA I URLIK (1983)” LP+CD (F.O.A.D. 337)
Official reissue of this essential, raw Yugo hardcore compilation, originally released on cassette tape in 1983, two years before the equally legendary “Hard-Core Ljubljana” v.a. LP… The first ever HC compilation from Belgrade featuring: NECROPHILIA, HERPES DISTRESS, SOLUNSKI FRONT. Special edition sourced from first generation masters provided by No Profit Tapes, giving this iconic compilation the well-deserved quality treatment that does justice after the previous cheaply made version. A devastating clash between the distorted, furious hardcore of NECROPHILIA and HERPES DISTRESS in full line with the most extreme Euro chaos-punk classics of that era (Wretched, Anti-Cimex, Chaos UK), contrasting with the more elaborate but still fast-paced approach of SOLUNSKI FRONT. LP reproducing the v.a. cassette in its entirety and bonus CD with the same contents as the LP + 8 rare bonus tracks by NECROPHILIA. Gatefold jacket + insert including scans of the original cassette, rare photos and liner notes by Gvido Obradovic, the mastermind that released it on tape in total DIY spirit back then… Assembled with the unfailing collaboration of Guranje S Litice.

For the first time on vinyl in its entirety! Ripped, restored and mastered straight from the band’s archival master tapes for the most effective and genuine sonic impact. Primitive, rude hardcore punk with scraping hoarse vocals backed by a crude, fuzzy and totally DIY basement recording. Quoting the band: ” this demo was recorded in 1991 in the house of a friend named Cintia in Colonia Diaz Ordaz in Ecatepec Edo. mex, we recorded it on a homemade recorder in the living room of Cintia’s house; a friend named Jose Angel (nicknamed “el mopet”) was the one who was at the controls of the recorder putting pause in each song, it was all made in one session… it’s worth mentioning that most of the equipment was lent by a gang known as “los águilas” from col. nueva Mèxico in Ecatepec”.
One of the leading names in raw Mexican hardcore along with MASACRE 68, SS-20, M.E.L.I., ATOXXICO etc.. Comes with a stunning 16 page book with a history of the demo, flyers and rare photos from that era. Watch the trailer HERE
