V/A - "Jack Mackerel Casserole" - C-30 compilation 1995

If you've been downloading the stuff I've upped so far, this post will be a bit redundant. With the exception of some audience noise and a BEEF STEW song, all of this material has been posted already.

"Jack Mackerel Casserole" was assembled as a sampler tape to send out free with orders. I don't remember ever getting one order by mail, so none were sent out as intended. This was a botched attempt at marketing. I don't remember, but I suspect these were probably given away at shows. I don't think too many were made, maybe 25-30. We ordered the shittiest quality tapes we could buy from the Full Compass catalog we ordered our nice tapes from, threw together a crappy cover and made no attempt to make the overall volume level through out the tape even. While ripping this to mp3 just now, I made a small attempt at fixing the volume problem, but it still leaves some to be desired.

Despite what the cover says, this tape features 17 songs from 5 bands:

GRISTLE

GHOOM

UNISEX

THREESKIN

BEEF STEW

THREESKIN - "One Less Than Foreskin / Treatment for Minor Cuts and Abrasions" 1994-1995

Rising from the ashes of UNISEX, THREESKIN came on to the scene with two demo tapes and a live show filled with flying objects, elaborate costumes and two singers that shamelessly pummeled each other during their shows. Mixing the speed of thrash metal and short songs of hardcore punk, THREESKIN we’re the most violent of the first wave of Ottumwa bands, paving the way for CAPTAIN THREE LEG (of which all 5 members of Threeskin played in at one point). This 77 track CDR collects both demos (1994+1995), unreleased trax and rare unheard rehearsal stuff.
