Amphetamine Reptile. 1985/87
It was one of the old crusty punk/hardcore Station Club gigs at Newcastle Riverside. Maybe BoltThrower, Concrete Sox and some others. Cosmic Psychos were going to be near enough our neck of the woods that night, so some bright spark (I think it was LC from Volume Records) squeezed them somewhat inappropriately onto the bill. Glad he did. They blew everyone else away with their three-chord grungy beer thug finery.
The first five tracks on here are the Down On The Farm Ep, which is alright. The rest is the self titled album, all of which is fucking brilliant. Huge everything. They couldn't be anything but Australian.
Buy this and throw yourself around the room.
'How was I to know she was only fourteen.....? Going dooooowwwn'
'I wanna be like David Lee Roth, 40 girls to suck me off. I want long, golden locks. I want a great big 20 inch cock'
'Give me a sign, I said give me a wink - tell me that you love me baby, tell me that I stink, Yeah!'
My cover artwork has a white background and a different font, but that'll do until I get round to scanning it.
