Definately a classic. I believe this first came out in 1983, and was originally a 7" EP. This recording is just a non-stop pummeling of fast, blazing Hardcore tunes. Most of the guitar riffs are pretty simple and straight forward, and that style is perfect for these short, fast, and in your face tunes.

THIS BAND WAS KILLER AND THIS WAS,PERHAPS THEIR BEST RELEASE. LOOK FOR "theBEST oF POISON IDEA"RELEASED BY 'TAANG'RECORDS FOR A MERE 10 BONES...THAT'S 41 SONGS OF PURE MADNESS!!!!!

Remember when POISON IDEA was awesome? No need to. Just put this on. Or Record Collectors are Pretensious A.holes 12", now, thankfully, a CD.

It's the hardcore from Portland that punx back in the day knew to be the real thing. Never did see 'em live. But it's clear that after 2 or 3 records they began to go slowly down hill until it just wasn't fun anymore (Dutch release, ugh).

However, this item is a pure gem. Real hardcore punk rock with all the power and beauty you would expect from high quality, actual punk rock. Hardcore baby. chrisbct@hotmail.com

Absolute *classic*, must-have hardcore--blistering-fast, peel-your-skin-off songs not much more than a minute long, with no spaces in between--at least that's how it is on my 7-inch copy. Buyer beware: I downloaded a copy recently, and the gaps introduced between songs in the digital version ruins the whole thing for me. Dunno if it's like that on this CD version (anyone?), but if so, you gotta get the vinyl.

And a shout out to Chris BCT! I still have a couple of your tapes!
