this is one of the records I got as a birthday present from me a while ago (I like getting presents from myself cause somehow it's always something I really like!) and it's also one of the records it took me ages to track down even though it isn't so rare or hard to find usually. well, one of the nice things that come with the release of any discography is that usually a short time after the discography was released one can get the original pressings of the incl. releases quite easy. when i saw the
MK-ULTRA design on the right posted on Facebook by Kirk that came to mind, I did a spontaneous ebay search and finally got a copy of
MK-ULTRA's 1st 7" that's also referred to as
STICK-FIGURE 7" sometimes. if you've done your homework you know that the red cover means 1st press (2nd pess had a green cover) which is always nice but way nicer is the fact that my copy not only incl. the complete inlays (booklet + sticker) but hardly has been played more than 1 or 2 times if it has been played at all. as the tracks on this 7" are among the best stuff
MK-ULTRA have ever released I'm more than happy that I finally scored a copy and even happier I scored a copy that's in such great shape! also incl. is a scan of the booklet that came with the 7"! the only question that still remains unanswered is who is the dude on the label? no, not King Diamond the other one?
in my 1st post about MK-ULTRA's discography 2 x 12" I wrote t
hat "the long awaited MK-ULTRA discography 2 x 12" on YOUTH ATTACK has finally seen the light of day! having been announced for ages I started to doubt that it really would be released but fortunately I was wrong and so you've a chance to get your fix of MK-ULTRA without paying a small fortune on ebay for the org. wax. in my opinion they never got the attention they'd have deserved while they were alive and kicking. most people only referred to MK-ULTRA as "the other band of CHARLES BRONSON's drummer Ebro" (who actually not even was the original drummer) which was/is far from doing them justice and in case you don't believe I suggest you buy their discography, which delivers 55 tracks of brilliant, fierce and angry FASTCORE / POWER VIOLENCE / whatever and hear
for yourself." but I didn't upload the mp3s back then since it had just been released. after the 1st pressing on white vinyl there were 2 more pressings on clear vinyl. as all 3 pressings are sold out since a while I thought the time would be right to write a 2nd post about it including the mp3s. I also scanned the booklet that came with it which contains the lyrics, band-pics, some artwork and a lot of old fliers. my copy was a present from MK-ULTRA's bassist Kirk (thanks again!) and included a poster of the re-union show they did in 2009 too. unfortunately the booklet comes in a strange size (from an European point of view) so I had to trick my scanner into scanning the complete pages and therefore the quality isn't really brilliant. the booklet also blew up the size of the archive a little bit too much for my taste so I split up the thing in 2 parts. as the MK-ULTRA discography came with a download code for a digital version of the 2 x 12" plus an extra live-cut from 1995 as bonus I just used those mp3s. the password is mean.
