Note: this is an archived copy of Paul Routenburg's excellent Killed By Hype site which was previously located at http://plaza.powersurfr.com/paul/punk.html and http://ca.geocities.com/kbd77@rogers.com/punk.html. It contains a lot of great information about punk records so I decided to keep it alive here after the demise of GeoCities.

Punk Rock Belgium

A number of essential records come from Belgium. The Kids 1st LP is perhaps one of the best punk LPs ever, with the 2nd not far behind. Luckily both have been reissued together on a CD and as a 2 LP set. Two other LPs should also be considered classics - the first Hubble Bubble LP and the Raxola LP. No collection could be considered complete without these: Cell 609, Chainsaw, Mad Virgins, P.I.G.Z. or Stagebeast. Honourable mentions to the 1st Revenge 88, Spermicide, Struggler and Streets/X-Pulsion. The Live Belgian Punk Contest LP has its moments but doesn't stand up to the price usually put on it.
