NEGATIVE APPROACH
SELF TITLED 7”
Touch And Go Records
Just goes to show how err, out of aah, touch one can be. I
had kind of forgotten about American label Touch and Go, and was unsure how
active they still were. Although this was reissued in 2010, I’ve only just
found one now. Needless to say, I didn’t get one first time around, or last
time around. Original first and second pressings sell now for ridiculous prices
on ebay.
Legendary,classic, and influential detroit hardcore from
’82. Great stuff, Fast and short. This 10 song EP features the often-covered “Ready to Fight” – Can’t quite recall
exactly who has covered it, but there has been
quite a few bands (which followed in the wake of Negative Approach).
This reissue is (apparently) remastered. Not that I’d know,
or can tell. It’s still a little rough around the edges, but that’s the appeal
of it. The cover has also been revamped, the original “Linda Blair” styled
photo has been replaced with a B&W line drawing as shown, that gives an updated feel as well. Also includes an (reproduction of the original) insert which
is good value and kinda always makes a little hardcore 7” package complete.
This was a little on the expensive side, but worth it, and
there are still a few around .............
