Ok,this Cd is absolutely great, and a must have for any punk out there. It isn't the usualy run-of-the-mill Exploited Dk Misfits type of bands. Filth is great and one of the best bands ever. The Blatz in my opinion is the greatest band ever. Anna Joy is absolutely wonderful and her voice will stick with you. I suggest if you can get your hands on it and have a record player getting the gr'ups and Cyper in Snow (anna joy from the Blatz other bands). I have had the Cd for over 6 months and the LP for a year I prefer the record because you can go straight to the song "Chuck" without going through "lullabye" again. Filth's song "Todays Lesson" Is absolutelly one of the greatest punk songs ever. Even though I am from the Bay Area I was unfortunatelly to young to experience this part of the scene, there is no more punk like this anymore but when I hear it, it is kind of a history lesson of what punk was 10 years ago, and the influence on what it is now. So to everyone who is even considering buying this CD, it is worth it and money well spent. E-mail me to tell me what you think.

this is the best split i think i've ever heard. filth were a great band falling somewhere in between crust core and street punk while blatz were just amazing...scrappy, disjointed punk rock with geeky male vocals and 2 screeching chicks singers. this double cd contains the original split lp, and even better the rest of each band's discographies! the booklet is also constructed really well. this is an essential portrait of the late 80s east bay scene, especially for those who thought all that time period produced were green day and operation ivy. as jesse lucious said, it was a good idea to rerelease this on the evil compact disc format to expose those trendy green day punx to the ugly realities of punk and maybe even corrupt them. i feel they succeeded!

AWESOME EDITION TO MY COLLECTION BLATZ AND FILTH ON THE SAME CD YOU CAN'T GET A BETTER DEAL THAN THAT ANYWHERE.... BANNED FROM THE PUBS!!!

Listen to me when I tell you that Blatz was genius. Blatz was basically a band that went to the studio and crapped around. But what came out of your toilet speakers was brilliant razor edged rose petals of biological waste danger. Buy this now. Why are you still reading this? Go... Buy it... Now.

the fact that this c.d. is out of print is a downright tragedy, i own it on c.d. and vinyl. i keep the c.d. in my car and the record at home to make sure i am never without this album. filth is so f*ckin raw it's ridiculous their side of the split is old school punk with raw hardcore vocals, this is the best delivery of that style of vocals ever. the blatz side is equally impressive there are three vocalists jesse lucious who later formed the criminals, and the frisk is the only bring down of the album but the female vocalists on this album are crazy, one of them kind of sounds like eve libertine from crass, and the other has a voice that sounds so obnoxious that it makes poly styrene from x-ray specs vocals sound like whitney houston, she is the most shameless and entertaining vocalist ever, and there lyrics are pretty funny too. if you find this album for cheaper than 40 bucks i highly recomend it, but paying that much for a c.d. is ridiculous, even though it is a double c.d. and both c.d.s are over 70 minutes.

This is a classic album for anyone into the East Bay punk rock scene. Two GREAT bands, I'm pretty sure the CD has the songs from their 7"s also. They are two of my favorite, and the songs are classic tunes you can sing to. Members of these bands went on to form other great bands such as: Dead And Gone, The Criminals, Subincision, The Frisk, The Gr'ups, Cypher in the Snow, Strychnine... You get the picture.

This is my favoite cd it(blatz) I don't like the other cd that much but for the prise you can not go wrong.

Blatz and Filth just atand at the top of the heap of local punk rock. Green day aint shit and never did come from the same secene. They were from the suburbs and are safe and cute like hanson. Blatz and Filth are both from the towns of OAKLAND & BEREKELEY and know what punk is about .

maybe I just haven't listened to the Blatz side that much, it just reminded me of a more punk Gravy Train or something.

The Filth side, however, is unfrontable; if you are in to Rud. Peni, 9 Shocks Terror or Elvis Costello this one is sure to pound your nuggets. Generally regarded as a classick, so don't argue with me.

This one of the greatest punk rock cds ever!
