Reviews & Opinions

RATE YOUR MUSIC: This bootleg features half of the Corrosion of Conformity tracks from the 1982 No Core V/A cassette. That tape showcased COC in their earliest hardcore punk era, playing blistering material reminiscent of SOA at times, especially on "This Is Hardcore" (one of the tracks omitted here). Unfortunately, this 7-inch has washed-out sound quality that's so poor that it sounds like a bathtub faucet is running in the background. I'm not saying that the original tape had pristine sound, but it was far better than this. I won't bash this too badly since this would have been a notable item back in 1992 for folks unable to get their hands on a copy of the original tape, even with the incomplete tracklisting and the awful fidelity. There are much better options available now, even though the No Core material still hasn't been officially re-released. Oddly, the back cover to Mad World suggests that there was supposed to be a follow-up boot with the other eight tracks too (since it says "Corrosion of Conformity Vol. 1") but I've never seen it.

Additional Notes

Bootleg. As the cover says: "Only 500 pressed...Never more!! So, good luck to get it!"
