B.G.K's debut album "Jonestown Aloha" was recorded in late 1982. The title was of course an admittedly morbid play on the Jonestown Mass Suicide. This album was released in 1983 on our own Vögelspin "label" in a press run of 3000 copies. A US release followed a year later on M.D.C.'s R Radical records and that one sold a poopload more (I hear 14,000 copies, some royalties would be nice comrades, share a little of the wealth ?). The material resurfaced yet once more in the year 2001, as part of "A Dutch Feast, the complete works of Balthasar Gerards Kommando" on Alternative Tentacles records. I hate that stupid title.Track List:

ReplyDeleteThis is one of the best HC records ever!! I owned the Vogelspin when I was 14 back in '82. Lost it, traded with Billy (from BOYCOTT) to get it again, and lost it yet again, downloaded it in 2002 and still listen to it.
ReplyDeleteAnd everytime those famous words: 'Ik vind punk rot-muziek, geef mij maar gewone muziek, waar je goed-op-kan-dansen!' and then Pill Party!
