THE WASTED LIFE OF LOW DOWN KIDS

the 2nd 7" of Hamburgs THE RAZORS which were among Germany´s first PUNKbands and released their 1st 7" CHRISTCHILD (will be posted here sooner or later as well) themselves in 1979. this one is from 1980 and was released on ROCK-O-RAMA records as you can see on the cover. you need to understand that H. Egoldt the motherfucker behind the label never was PUNK and neither was he a NAZI - he was in it for the money! when he had released BÖHSE ONKELZs DER NETTE MANN 12"and saw he could make more money with that kind of sound he settled on the R.A.C. / WP thing. it´s sad that so many great records have been released by this bastard before he switched direction. I´ve heared that even his rightwing bands weren´t to pleased with him as he was ripping them of constantly. back to THE RAZORS...I had their BANNED PUNX 12" posted before so you might be familiar with how they sound but on this record it´s their original singer on vocals!
