A rare, goes-for-a-lot hardcore EP from '92 that I never heard of or even seen before, until I spied it on the wall at Reckless in Berwick Street last week.
Toiling Goblins mix - love the title
Appears to be a one-off - the label's solitary release - with most of its perpetrators having no discernible prior history in music nor indeed any active afterlife. Apart from this fellow.
Perhaps all the artist names are just alter-egos for this one person.
I'm sure the bods at Reckless know the going rate for this kind of thing, but on a sonic level I would value this at more like 15 quid than 150 quid. (Discogs has it at a penny cheaper!)
And I'd much rather have scooped it up for a fiver in '95, back when second-hand 'core was still going cheap and I was scavenging the stuff in bulk.
(Still have lots of 12's in a box I never got around to listening to, third-div tunes in ugly color-graphic sleeves or generic blank ones, foraged in a frenzy from Music & Video Exchange bargain basements or similar grotshops)
Five quid seems like the right price for a VG quality copy with six fairly generic grist-to-the-deejay-mill-at-that-time type tunes. Five quid - or let's say six, making it an even pound per tune.
That said, first rack "Meow-ophone" is amusing with its Charly-says style feline sounds.
Nice joke with the artist name too - RSPCA.
And the track comes with a "Whiskas Mix" too.
