V.A. Teenage Treats Vol. Four (1977-1982)


If you enjoy this batch of Teenage Treats thank Roberto for the awe-inspiring scans and keep in mind that I'm looking for any scans AT ALL of volumes 6-10.


Here's a new series (well, the late 1990's, really and even then...), consisting of ten volumes that explore the seedy underbelly of the already seedy underbelly that was British punk rock in the late seventies and early eighties.



Highlights of this more poppy volume may (or may not - taste in seedy underbellies varies widely) might include:





* Television Viewer (Vacants, 1977, from only LP)
* Nervous Breakdown (White Heat, 1979, from 1.7")
* Plastic Land (Tunnelrunners, 1981, from only 7")
* Cold (Favourites, 1979, from 2.7")
* Take It Or Leave It (Visitors, 1977, from only 7")
* Send For Sorrow (Singles, 1981, from only 7")
* I Can See Thru Walls (DC10s, 1980, from only 7")
* The Life of Riley (Zipper, 1979, from 1.7")
* Go (Heartbeats, 1981, from only 7")
* You've Got Me In A Whirl Girl (Hobbs, 1978, from only 7")
* You're All I Wanted And A Car (The Voice of the Puppets, 1980, from only 7")
* Can't Wait For '78 (Wasps, 1977, from Live At The Vortex compilation LP)

  2. Love the White Heat track, perfect power pop.

    Got a vinyl copy of their album, but unfortunately the album version of Nervous Breakdown isn't as good as the 7" version included here.

  3. the internet is a two headed monster. On the one hand, almost everything is available. On the other, almost everything is available.

    Each time you post I struggle to decide what to kick to the curb to make room for it. Bigger storage is cheap but eventually one is overwhelmed but the volume of things that have yet to be listened to at anything resembling one's full attention.

    I love this series. I'll probably never listen to it more than five times. Sigh.

  4. This Vol. is a lot more varied. I am an old hardcore kid so it's hard to hear another song called Nervous Breakdown.

    Voice of the Puppets "Your All I wanted and a car" is incredibly awesome for the title alone, but alos a great song.

    I wold have put the Wasp song as track one, but then again I don't own a record company or put comps together.

Legal risks? I have around 10000 cool albums/CD's that y'all kiddies oughta be hearing......help grandpa out

    "Overwhelmed by the volume" I can't argue that. I always assume even my more regular visitors pick and choose I just hope to offer enough to keep them coming back!

    Always room for another good blog!
    E-mail me at jeffen69@hotmail.com and I'll give you the 'need-to-know'. By the way, tarting a blog is pretty easy, keeping one going I should warn you is a slightly different matter.

  11. "You're all I wanted and a car"'s wall of sound reminds me of my high school years ambition. Except all I got was the car.

    And what's all this about "tarting a blog?"
