The Killed By Death Series

The concept that started it all. Around 1988 an obsessed Swedish collector living in New York started what would cause dozens around the world to develop an addiction to own any obscure record featured under the Killed By Death name. The first 4 volumes highlighted some of the best (and now most expensive) punk records ever. Eventually the name came to be used by just about anyone wanting to put a out compilation of their own favourite records, and the quality of the records featured has decreased as the well of obscure punk records is slowly tapped. There have been exceptions to the decline, with the "All American Punk, No Foreign Junk" series (Volumes 8.5, 9, 10 and 12) rivalling the original volumes in quality of the records featured. No doubt there will continue to be additions to this series.

Recently the series has expanded from Killed By Death to Killed By (insert some witty name here).

• Sick Of You (Users, UK, 1977, from 1.7")
• I Beat You (Vicious Visions, Sweden, 1982, from only 7")

Very good LP with a few real killer tracks (Dogs, Hollywood Squares, Mad, Gasoline) and a bunch of really good tracks. Since the original 4 volumes became nearly impossible to find they were reissued by someone several years ago. Reissues come on coloured vinyl, this one white. The reissue also left off several tracks that were on the original LP (the cover says 25 raw rare 77-82 punk thrashers, but only 15 are on the reissue). I can't remember what they were, I think something by the Wipers from their 1st 7" and something from the Beastie Boys "Pollywog Stew" EP (no loss there at all). In fact, if there were anything by the Beastie Boys on the reissue, points would have been deducted.
Rating: 8.5.

Killed By Death #2

• Bummer Bitch (Freestone, USA, 1978, from only 7")
• I Hate Tourists (Freeze, USA, 1980, from 1.7")

• Horizontal Action (Psycho Surgeons, Australia, 1978, from only 7")
• Don't Worry Kyoko Mommy's Only Looking For Her Hand In The Snow (Child Molesters, USA, 1978, from 1.7")

A truly great LP. One great song after another. If you had to get just one Killed By Death LP, this would perhaps be it. The Child Molesters track seems somewhat out of place here though. Reissue on red vinyl, same tracks as the original.
Rating: 9.5.

Killed By Death #3

• Kill Yourself (Lewd, USA, 1978, from only 7")
• 51 Percent (Defnics, USA, 1981, from only 7")

• Oh I Love This Weather (Ebenezer & The Bludgeons, USA, 1978, from only 7")
• Headliner (NY Niggers, USA, 1979, from only 7")
• Hot Sody (Screamin' Mee-Mees, USA, 1977, from 1.7")
• NY Ripper (Violators, USA, 1980, from only 7")
• Vice Verses (John Berenzy Group, USA, 1978, from only 7")

A decent follow-up to the amazing #2. Some great tracks (Sods, Lewd, Shock, NY Niggers, Violators, Plugz) and the rest worthwhile, except the John Berenzy track which is unnecessary. Includes 2 tracks from the second Eat 7". Sorry, I just don't get it with that band. Reissue is on blue vinyl and has the same songs as the original.
Rating: 8.5.

Killed By Death #4

• Stoned To Death / Stick To Your Guns / I'm Bored / A Piece Of Me (Zero Boys, USA, 1980, from only 7")
• Sink The Whales (Buy Japanese Goods) / Disco Queen (Rotters, USA, 1979, 2.7")

• I Think I Love You (Ism, USA, 1983, 2.7")
• Get Your Woofing Dog Off Me (Jerks, UK, 1977, from 1.7")

Almost as good as Volume 2, this marks the end of the contribution from the originator of the series. Mostly excellent tracks, the inclusion of both songs from the stupidly rare Rotters 7" is a bonus. Same for the 4 out 5 tracks from the Zero Boys EP. Reissue on green vinyl, same songs as the original issue.
Rating: 9.

Killed By Death #5

• What The Fuck (Black Easter, UK, 1982, from only 7")

• Afraid Of The Russians (Stiphnoyds, USA, 1980, from only 7")
• No Monarchy (Kids, Belgium, 1978, from 1.7")

The first of 2 (along with #6) volumes done in Australia. Until a reissue in 1998 both of them were quite tough to find. A really good LP, with a little more of an international focus than previous volumes. Great tracks from the Neo Punkz, Nubs, Cracked Actor, Maggots, Dieter Meier among others.
Rating: 8.5.

• Prisoners of Time (Mark Truth & The Liars, USA, 1981, from only 7")
• Meilla Voisi Tunaau Olla Hauska (Se, Finland, 1979, from 6.7")

The second Australian volume, reissued in 1998. The most international volume so far. Fewer classic tracks here though most are still above average. The Funeral Dress track is actually from 1987, though the label of the record is misleading. Goodies from The Kids, Dirt Shit, Next, Hitler SS, and Tampax.
Rating: 7.5.

• Zuri Punx (Sperma, Switzerland, 1979, from 1.7")
• Manisch Depressiv ((MD)Manisch Depressiv, Switzerland, 1983, from only 7")

Done as a joke, featuring records that were on the want list of the person who did #5 and 6. They even went so far as to put his address on the back of the jacket. An excellent volume, with the Village Pistols, Chain Gang, Guilty Razors, Absentees, Fresh Color and Maids being the standout tracks. No crap tracks here. This one was getting tough to find until it was reissued in 1998.

• Pearl Harbor / Fat Bitch (Matchheads, USA, 1981, from only 7")

The first of 4 volumes of "All American Punk, No Foreign Junk". Excellent volume, bringing to light some previously unknown (and now ridiculously expensive) records. The cover of this one (an S&M theme, from the Public Disturbance sleeve) caused my copy to be temporarily seized by the fucking morons at Canaduh Customs due to the nature of the subject matter. Move into the 20th century assholes. Two pressings, I don't know what the differences are. It's a damn bootleg, who cares!

• Revolting Mess (Ice 9, USA, 1979, from only 7")

Still more obscurities and even more ridiculously priced records than Volume 8.5. Tapeworm is way over-rated. All of the tracks are winners, with Tapeworm probably being my least favourite tracks on the LP. Two pressings as for #8.5.
Rating: 9.

Killed By Death #10

• Ate Days A Week (Sick & The Lame, USA, 1979, from only 7")

Still more US (and a few Canadian) obscurities for the 3rd "All American" volume. Quite a good record, similar in quality to #8.5, not quite as good as #9.
Rating: 8.5.

Killed By Death #11

• We Are All Frothy / Stay In Shape With The Orgy Poppers / Ladies Home Journal / Sad Clown / Pickup Truck / Benzene / ZTT / Don't Stand So Close To The Hemlock / Warsaw / The Mysterious Mr. Kugelberg / Ladies Home Urinal / Get Up (And Lose It!) (Frothy Shakes, USA, 1996)

A waste of vinyl. Purported to be rare Tennesse punk, this is nothing but some lame Boston band pretending to play real punk rock. There is a song dedicated to the mysterious founder of the KBD concept, and some sort of amusing notes on the back of the sleeve but that's about as interesting as this gets.
Rating: 4.

• Feel Guilty (Stains, USA, 1980, from only 7")
• Punk Rock Is Dead (Teenage PhDs, USA, 1982, from only 7")

The final volume of the "All American Punk" series. More real obscurities, not that many killer tracks but consistent throughout. Ebenezer & The Bludgeons, Lubricants, Rejects (the second track), Meaty Buys, Nubs and Teenage PhDs are the winners here, with most everything else a close second.

• Tracers / It's Gray (Der Stab, from demo tape)
• We Need Another Vietnam (Citizen Fear, from demo tape)
• White Night Riot (Inverted Triangle, from demo tape)
• Manifest Destiny (Tanks, from demo tape)

A different concept, this LP focuses on California bands that never (with a couple exceptions) released any vinyl. The bands include some well-known names (Metal Mike, Rikk Agnew, Feederz, Screamers). Others disappeared without a trace. Overall the quality is average, with a couple standouts (Snot Puppies and Der Stab). Interesting more as an historical document than for classic punk rock.

• Punks Are The Old Farts Of Today (Vomit Visions, Germany, 1979, from 1.7")
• Rich Girl / No Good (Rock Bottom & The Spys, USA, c1980, from only 7")

A recent (mid-1998) volume. Some good tracks (Rock Bottom & The Spys, Reactors, Mirrors, Widows, Starshooter), some crap (Jimmy Smack, Nuclear Crayons) and a bunch of middle-of-the road tracks. I wonder how many want lists "Stoned" will now start appearing on? Opus is perhaps one of the most pathetic of the recent highly priced US punk records. On second thought, it's just pathetic, whatever the price.

"Dear collector scum fucker, here is the ultimate U.S. punk installment! On some KBD volumes the impotent geeks focused their interest only on top rarities, not on the fucking music!!!" [from the sleeve notes]. While this isn't the ultimate U.S. punk volume, it is very good considering the number of volumes that have preceded it. Most of these records will already be known to collectors, so no points for new obscurities. A good solid LP with few tracks available on other compilations.

• (We're) Prisoners / Easy Cheap Or Free / Hillsdale Whore / Somebody Else / Rave It Up / All American Wet Dream/Cancer Queen / Louie Louie (Instrumental) / Raw Power (The Blank, live Mabuhay Gardens, May 28, 1978)

• Milo Buylow / (Locked Out Of The) Executive Washroom (Junior Executives, live demos, August, 1978)
• Tearing Me Apart (Michael Lucas, spring 1977)

Along with #11 the only volume I've listened only once. Average live and demo material from a couple California bands. Interesting liner notes, but I wouldn't be running out to buy this one.

• I Wanna Be Spoiled (Shock, USA, 1978, from 1.7")
• Good Filthy Fun (Active Dog, Canada, 1979, from only 7")

A volume which features tracks from a lot of records which have already been compiled on previous volumes. Nice idea, since you now get to hear other songs from now overpriced records. Often the tracks here aren't as good as the ones featured previously, but most are worthwhile with The Mad, Maids, and Stimulators being the winners.

Another volume with other songs of already compiled records (Lubricants, Meaty Buys, Nubs, Destry Hampton, Snuky Tate, Ebenezer, Eat, Shit Dogs, Teenage PhDs) and an attempt at some new obscurities. With the exception of the Defex and Shell Shock, the others might have been better left in obscurity. Negative points for including cockrock crap like Aunt Helen.

• Underground (Epicycle, 1979, from 1.7")
• Resistance (Executives, 1980, from only 7")
• Where Are You? (K-Tels, 1979, from only 7")

Another "All American Punk" volume (except the K-Tels were from Canada). Several of the records included here would quite likely give collectors their greatest sexual experience were they to actually get their hands on them. You get to hear one track from the Jackie Shark & The Beach Butchers 7", almost completely unknown until very recently. There is also a track from the Noise 7", one of the top 10 over-rated punk records of all time. As is usual with obscure American punk records many of these are good, worth listening to a few times a year, but would you be stupid enough to pay hundreds of dollars for them?

A pretty good LP of previously uncompiled material. Nothing too crappy here. I guess all those Cads EPs people couldn't trade or sell before will suddenly be hot items. The idea of taking good tracks from compilation LPs full of otherwise uninteresting material is a good one. That should be good for a few more KBD volumes.

• Abortus Vrij, De Vrouw Beslist (Basta, Belgium, 1977, from only 7")

Consistently worthwhile punk compilation. No real killer standouts but nothing that's very bad either. At this stage of the compilation game (mid 1999) it would be near impossible to put out an LP of mostly unknown killer material. There's still some number of LPs worth of material that could (and likely will) be released and this LP will compare well to most anything else to follow. Some (all?) on blue vinyl.

• Steppin' Stone (Cardboard Brains, 1977 from only 7")
• Step Out Tonight (Mods, 1978, from only 7")

A rather mediocre sampling of Canadian punk. Much of what is on here is already well known. The Action and Viletones along with one Forgotten Rebels track (Angry) are the best. Even with the 2 Smash The State volumes covering a lot of the lesser known bands, a better effort than this could have been put forth.

Yet another barely average bunch of tracks with some crap like Nirvana. If you're going to do one of these compilations you might as well do as shitty a job as you can on the packaging. You'll make that much more money on it. No need to bother with a real jacket when a crappy folder over photocopied sheet of paper will do.

This volume does a nice job of featuring bands from places that haven't been covered before - Iceland, Greece, South Africa, Portugal and Argentina. Overall quality is pretty good with not a lot of killers, but not really any crap either. Los Violadores and Skams stand a little above the crowd.

The All-Italian volume. Except for the well known by now Hitler SS / Tampax split EP this covers a bunch of relative unknowns. Except for the 2 already mentioned, S.I.B. and Satan 81 there isn't a lot on this LP to get really excited about. It's all OK, it just doesn't really excite me very much.

• Una guerra sin fondo / La gran estafa / Agresividad controlada / Presos / Autodestruccion (Ultimo Resorte, 1983, only 12")

The All-Spanish volume. Nice idea to include all of the tracks. Most of this is quite good. Slightly harder than most late 70's punk but not hardcore or like a lot of the crap coming out of England around the same time. All in Spanish but who cares, it's the attitude that really matters. Comes with an insert with a translation of the song titles and some minimal band info. The front cover is a repro of the Toreros After Ole cover, the other 4 are pictured in color on the back.

• Born In Brazil (Chain Gang, 1979, from 3.7" [Deuce Package 2x7"])
• The Cowboy Song (Macs, 1980, from only 7")

A lacklustre volume from someone who has done much better. In an attempt to go where no compilation has gone before, are we starting to get to the bottom of the barrel? While it is a challenge to include tracks that haven't been on another compilation there are surely better songs to choose from still out there. Except for Helen Keller, Chronics, Realtors, Now, Vectors and Arthur's Dilemma this isn't that interesting. Blackholes, Ivan & The Executioners, Saucers and Macs are forgettable. The Fensics is plain awful. The other track on the 7" would have been a better choice. The other Helen Keller track should have been included since it isn't likely that anyone besides crazy Italians can now afford that record. Oh yeah, these are all American bands so you can now go and pay $50+ a pop for each of the originals, even the ones that suck.

• Really Got Me Goin' (Lucy, UK, 1977, from 1.7")
• Photos, Photos (Too Much, Belgium, 1978, from only 7")

This volume will likely annoy some self-appointed punk purists out there, which I suspect was the intention of the person who put this together. Rather than concentrate on the obscure 500 or less copy pressing records, he picked things he happened to like, whether they are rare or not. A mixed bag, some is very good, some isn't. Overall it ain't that bad. No megarare classics, still an OK LP.

• Fish From Tahiti (012, c1980, from Weird Noise compilation EP)
• The Nose One (Shoes This High, New Zealand, c1980, from only 7")

A mix of decent punk (London PX, Hornsey At War, Fun 4, Spelling Missteaks, Sods) and some rather arty-farty DIY type bands. All are from England except for one New Zealand band thrown in at the end. An OK LP again, some of the better tracks are on other compilations so if you have them and DIY arty-fartyness isn't your kind of thing you might want to skip this one.
