Mission of Burma - Mission of Burma [Rykodisc, 1988]: notation

Interesting artifact. Contains Signals, Calls and Marches and Vs. in their entirety, both of which I obviously have, "Academy Fight Song" (which I have elsewhere), three Vs.-era unreleased tracks that appear on my version of that album, and two cuts from Horrible Truth, which I will post about separately. What a terrible way to hear this band anyway - smaller doses are better. But it was 1988, and a different world.

I also looked into Accomplished, and it's only got tracks from Signals, Vs., and Horrible, although six from the latter this time, which is a plurality here!

Tyler Childers - Snipe Hunter: 7 (B+)

Rancid - batch review

Have had these for decades and will post separately if I ever play them again. Never been a huge fan, but I respect their work:

    ...And Out Come the Wolves

    Life Won't Wait

    Indestructible

Rhett Miller - A Lifetime of Riding by Night: disliked

Four plays

The Undertones - The Undertones: 7.5 (high B+)

I have the Rykodisc version on CD, with seven bonus tracks that last less than 13 minutes total, lol. For some reason I'm not inspired to look into, it was also issued with this cover:

A cooler cover if you ask me.

Suicide - The Second Album + The First Rehearsal Tapes: 8.5 (high A-)

Grade is for the actual second album (I won't grade the tapes). I also have the same album, usually titled as Suicide: Alan Vega and Martin Rev, on vinyl with this cover:

Suicide - Suicide: 9 (A)

Classic album cover. I have the two-disc version with Live at CBGB's 1977 on disc two with the classic "23 Minutes Over Brussels."

Various - Wanna Buy a Bridge?: 8.5 (high A-)

Various - No New York: 8.5 (high A-)

Margo Price - Hard Headed Woman: 7.5 (high B+)

#country

Meat Puppets - Up on the Sun: 8.5 (high A-)

Meat Puppets - Out My Way [EP]: 8 (A-)

The Undertones - Hypnotised: 8 (A-)

I happen to have the remastered CD on castle with three worthy bonus tracks.

Meat Puppets - Meat Puppets II: 9.5 (high A)

The Clean - Boodle Boodle Boodle [EP]: 8.5 (high A-)

I have this in full on Anthology but wanted to give it a separate post (and numerous separate listens) since it's a seminal release. I even looked into obtaining a standalone copy but decided against it because it's a 12" EP. I will not give the Great Sounds EP similar treatment (it's also on Anthology in full).

X - Los Angeles: 8.5 (high A-)

X - Wild Gift: 9 (A)

X - Under the Big Black Sun: 7.5 (high B+)

X - More Fun in the New World: 7.5 (high B+)

The Soft Boys - Underwater Moonlight: 8 (A-)

Rating is from memory. It's possible it would go down a notch on relistening. I shelved it decades ago and so am giving it the benefit of the doubt, but I can't remember a thing on it, which is never a good sign. I have the two-disc version on Matador from 2001, with the second disc titled ...And How It Got There.
