The Parasites: En Homage Aux Beatles 7" (1991)

Since MRML's last Parasites post (see HERE), I've been on a real Parasites jag. This nifty little single, which features two pop-punked-up Beatles covers and a Beatlesy original by Dave "Nikki" Parasites is great reason why you need to start your own Parasites jag!

From back sleeve:
This record is a tribute to the Beatles on the twenty-fifth anniversary of their final American tour. Paperback Writer was the Beatles last number one hit before their concert retirement. Both Paperback Writer and I Feel Fine were performed at the final Beatles concert August 29th, 1966 at San Francisco's Candlestick Park.

Tracklist
    Love Me Too     2:40    
    I Feel Fine     2:24    
    Radio Ad     0:39    
    Paperback Writer     2:49

V.A. Back to Front (1977-1983) Volume Five

When  Incongito Records began this limited-edition series back in 1993, they made an honest attempt to contact as many of these late seventies/early eighties bands as they could to secure rights. That attention to detail  gave this series a reputation as one of the best in the torrent of punk retrospectives that the nineties unleashed.  Compiler Peter Parzinger tilted this series towards wilder, cruder punk rock from all over the Western world with bands like Cell 609, Corpse Grinders and Filth but also leaves lots of room for more fun stuff like The Gifted Children, The Numbers and The Notsensibles.
