Waiter, I'll Have My Music...MEDIUM RAW!!!




This is a cassette compilation put out sometime in the early 80s (?), by some mad genius who wanted to catalogue the Victoria, British Columbia punk scene at the time.  With 29 songs, it's a doozy.  Not as comprehensive as the All Your Ears Can Hear compilation 79 (!) songs by Victoria's independent rock scene.  But, hey...you get 29 songs, so stop complaining.

Anyway, if anyone else can provide more information, I'd be more than happy to pass the credit along.

I don't have any info but I just wanted to thank you for this posting. I love these types of compilations! I would have thought that these types of things would have exploded in this digital age too!

Thank You for this. Cassette compilations are always amazing as I highly doubt many survived over the years with all the abuse they would have taken. Nice one! Thanks Again.

There is a review from MRR up at the Kill from the Heart site. the review was written by Tim Yohannon and it reads

"An excellent long-player's worth of British Columbia's current crop of bands. The Neos appear with some previously released material, but the rest (Automatic Shock, Chronic Submission, Jerk Ward, LSD, House of Commons, Red Tide, the Infamous Scientists, SS Top, Da Jeep, and the cool Dayglo Abortions) all chip in with new material, most of which is fine. Very little filler."
-(from Maximum Rocknroll #12, March 1984)
