A trio of Exploited vinyl…

1. a test press of the fifth album by the Exploited. 1987′s “Death Before Dishonour”. This was the first album that started the Exploited down a more metal/crossover punk path.

2. 1985′s ‘Horror Epics’ LP. Nothing odd or rare here, just a great record with an album cover I’ve always really liked. Its not as good as the ‘Jesus is Dead’ EP cover, but I do really like it.

3. ‘The Massacre’ LP from 1990 is much more of a metal record than a Punk record, but I actually like it a lot. I saw them on this tour with Biohazard opening. I was with a friend that hated the Exploited and wanted to leave after Biohazard played. Since I wanted to stay, the minute Biohazard finished I made sure to stay away from him. It wasnt easy since Club Baby Head wasnt very big, but I just kept running around in circles avoiding my friend because I knew he wouldnt leave me there. Once the Exploited started I was right up front and when they played songs off the Massacre Wattie was impressed that I knew the lyrics since the record had just come out. Great show!!

UP THE PUNX!
