8. Ave a Go

Bureaucrats LP

I know the cover kind of looks like Nazareth's "Razamanaz", but they were an awesome punk band from Ottawa that started up in 1978. They had at least one ep out. This LP was released posthumously and collected studio recordings with 3 live tracks. The band featured the Sidwell brothers who were from Scotland so the British accent is not a fake. The band broke up in 1981 but did a reunion show in 2001. The release doesn't seem to have a label behind it, so this could have been self-released. Below are the liner notes.

The songs on here are:

1. Grown Up Age

2. The Game

3. Bureaucracy

4. Today & Everyday

5. Frustration

6. Girl of your Dreams

7. Now and Then

8. Feel the Pain

9. She's an American

10. A Question of Sport

11. Passion Bastards

12. You Never Wanted Me

13. as If We Didn't Know

14. Vaccination

15. Killing Ground

Marilyn's Vitamins "Meanwhile During the Class war" ep

Marilyn's Vitamins mostly released material on Raw Energy. Their last ep was on Ugly Pop Records. This was originally to be part of a Toronto hardcore series of 7" releases. Like those records they had a limited Drew Barrymore cover for each of the releases. The songs on this ep were:

1. The Executions of May 16th

2. It's good to be Here

3. Zundel, Voltaire and Me

4. I Consume, Therefore I Am
