ANAL CUNT - THE EARLY YEARS: 1988-1991

 

"THE FOLLOWING IS A COLLECTION

OF ALL THE OFFICIAL RELEASES,

AS WELL AS SOME UNRELEASED RECORDINGS

FROM THE FIRST 2 ANAL CUNT LINEUPS FROM 1988-1991.

A.C. FORMED IN MARCH, 1988 WITH THE LINEUP OF

SETH PUTNAM-VOCALS, MIKE MAHAN-GUITAR,

AND TIM MORSE-DRUMS.

THIS LINEUP LASTED UNTIL APRIL 20,1990.

A.C BROKE UP UNTIL MARCH 1991,

REFORMING WITH NEW GUITARIST FRED ORDONEZ.

THE RECORDINGS FROM 1988 TO 1991

REPRESENT THE OLDER A.C. SOUND.

WHEN THE BAND STARTED, THE GOAL WAS TO BE

THE FASTEST, NOISIEST, SHITTIEST BAND AROUND

AND TO HAVE ABSOLUTELY

NO TRACE OF MUSICALITY AT ALL,

NO LYRICS, NO SONG TITLES, NO MUSIC WRITTEN

FOR THE SONGS, AND ALL THE SONGS WERE

BETWEEN A HALF A SECOND LONG TO 5 SECONDS LONG.

OVER TIME, THAT GOT BORING,

SO SOME MUSICAL PARTS WERE ADDED HERE AND THERE.

THE ORIGINAL A.C. INFLUENCED

COUNTLESS AMOUNTS OF BANDS,

AND WERE THE ONLY BAND IN THEIR "GENRE"

THAT ACTUALLY TOURED AND PLAYED OUT REGULARLY. ANYWAYS, HERE'S WHAT IS ON THIS 2 CD SET.

 

DISK ONE

 

TRACK ONE: 47 SONG DEMO

 

THIS WAS RECORDED ON AUGUST 22,1988

ON MY PARENTS STEREO IN THEIR LIVING ROOM.

IT WAS ACTUALLY THE 2ND DEMO WE RECORDED.

THE 1ST ONE WAS RECORDED IN APRIL 1988

AND ONLY 2 PEOPLE BESIDES THE BAND HAVE EVER HEARD IT.

IT IS ON A 4 TRACK CASSETTE AND HAS NEVER BEEN MIXED.

NO ONE HAS A TAPE OF IT (FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO

HAVE BEEN ASKING ME FOR A COPY OF IT ALL THESE YEARS).

WE RECORDED THE 47 SONG DEMO

SO WE WOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO SELL

ON OUR 1ST U.S. TOUR WHICH WAS STARTING 4 DAYS LATER.

I WAS ACTUALLY ABLE TO BOOK A TOUR

WITHOUT ANY MATERIAL OUT BY LYING TO THE CLUBS

AND SAYING WE HAD AN ALBUM COMING OUT

AROUND THE TIME WE WOULD BE THERE,

THAT TOUR TOOK US AS FAR AS FLORIDA.

ONLY 30 COPIES OF THIS DEMO WERE MADE.

 

TRACKS TWO AND THREE: 88 SONG E.P.

 

THIS WAS OUR 1ST RECORD AND IT WAS RECORDED

ON NOVEMBER 22,1988 BY MARC LINDAHL AT BF/VF STUDIOS

IN BOSTON AND MIXED BY MARC AND MYSELF,

WE PUT THIS OUT ON OUR OWN LABEL,

WICKED SICK RECORDS, AND 1012 COPIES WERE PRESSED.

A FEW ENDED UP GETTING DAMAGED IN SHIPPING,

SO THERE ARE A LITTLE LESS THAN 1000 COPIES

FLOATING AROUND, ALL ON BLACK VINYL.

IT WAS LATER REPRESSED (1000 COPIES)

ON FUDGEWORTHY RECORDS.

ON THE ORIGINAL PRESSING, THE LAST SONG ON SIDE B

(KNOWN AS "GUY LOMBARDO")

GOT CUT OFF AT THE END BECAUSE WE WERE WORRIED

THAT IT WOULD BE TOO LONG FOR A 7",

ON THIS 2 CD SET,YOU GET THE WHOLE VERSION.

THE INTRO WAS TAKEN FROM A SHOW WE PLAYED AT

THE ELECTRIC BANANA IN PITTSBURGH ON AUGUST 31, 1988. THE OWNER OF THE CLUB IS THE GUY ANNOUNCING US.

 

TRACK FOUR: LIVE IN INDIANAPOLIS

 

THESE ARE SOME LIVE SONGS TAKEN FROM A SHOW

WE PLAYED IN INDIANAPOLIS ON FEBRUARY 20, 1989

AT DINO'S (FROM THE DEFUNCT BAND TRANSGRESSION)

GARAGE. WE WERE SUPPOSED TO PLAY A SHOW

WITH NEUROSIS AND TRANSGRESSION AT A REGULAR CLUB,

BUT THE ROOF CAVED IN A WEEK EARLIER.

WE STILL WANTED TO PLAY OUT THERE,

SO WE DROVE 1000 MILES OUT THERE

TO PLAY A FREE SHOW IN DINO'S GARAGE

AND WE HUNG OUT THERE FOR A WEEK.

DURING THAT WEEK, WE DROVE TO PITTSBURGH

TO DO A SHOW, THEN BACK TO INDIANAPOLIS TO PLAY

ANOTHER FREE SHOW IN SOMEONES BASEMENT.

 

TRACK FIVE: A.C. SIDE OF SPLIT 7" WITH

SEVEN MINUTES OF NAUSEA

 

THIS WAS OUR 2ND VINYL RELEASE

AND WAS RECORDED BY MARC LINDAHL ON MAY 29,1989

AT BF/VF STUDIOS IN BOSTON

AND MIXED BY MARC AND MYSELF.

THERE WERE 1000 OF THESE PRESSED

ON TOTAL NOISE TAPES AND RECORDS FROM GERMANY.

THIS HELPED US GET A LOT OF EXPOSURE IN EUROPE.

OUT OF THE ORIGINAL LINEUP'S RECORDINGS,

THIS IS MIKE'S FAVORITE AND ME AND TIM'S LEAST FAVORITE.

 

TRACK SIX: A.C. SONGS FROM

APOCALYPTIC CONVULSIONS 10" COMP

 

THIS WAS RECORDED THE SAME DAY AS OUR SPLIT WITH SEVEN MINUTES OF NAUSEA, SOME OF THE VOCALS WERE RE-RECORDED ON JUNE 10,1991

 

TRACKS SEVEN AND EIGHT: 5,643 SONG E.P.

 

THIS RECORD IS BASICALLY 16 A.C. SONGS

PLAYING AT THE SAME TIME.

THE IDEA FOR THIS CAME FROM ME AND MARC LINDAHL

ONE NIGHT WHILE HANGING OUT AT HIS PLACE.

BEFORE WE WERE ABLE TO RECORD IT,

MARC MOVED TO NEW YORK,

SO THIS FUCKING RETARD ASSHOLE, TOM WALTZ,

HAD TAKEN OVER THE STUDIO.

SO BASICALLY, WE WENT TO A 16 TRACK STUDIO

ND HAD THE GUITAR, DRUMS, AND VOCALS

RECORDED LIVE ONTO ONE TRACK

UNTIL WE DID A WHOLE 7" WORTH OF MATERIAL.

THEN WE DID THE SAME

WITH THE 2ND TRACK, 3RD, 4TH, ETC.

UNTIL WE HAD 16 DONE.

THERE IS ACTUALLY OVER 3 HOURS

WORTH OF MUSIC ON THIS 7".

IT TOOK FOREVER TO RECORD (20 HOURS),

PLUS WE HAD TO PUT UP WITH SOME STUPID CUNT

WHO LIVED ABOVE THE STUDIO

WHO CONSTANTLY COMPLAINED ABOUT THE NOISE.

EVEN WORSE WAS THE GUY RECORDING IT

WAS A SLOW FUCKING LOSER WHO WAS TRYING

TO READ THE SPORTS SECTION OF THE NEWSPAPER

WHILE WE WERE RECORDING.

WE'D USUALLY DO A FEW SONGS IN A ROW,

WHICH WOULD BE ABOUT 30 SECONDS TOTAL AND STOP.

THEN HE WOULD SLOWLY, LIKE A CRIPPLED RETARD,

REALIZE THAT WE STOPPED AND SLOWLY

REACH TO PRESS STOP ON THE CONTROL BOARD.

WE ACTUALLY RECORDED WHAT TURNED OUT TO BE

SIDE 2 FIRST ON SEPTEMBER 23 AND 24, 1989.

I WAS MAD AT HOW MUCH SPACE HE LEFT BETWEEN SONGS,

SO WHEN WE DID WHAT TURNED OUT TO BE

SIDE 1 ON OCTOBER 1, 1989, I WAS CONSTANTLY

GIVING HIM SHIT ABOUT STOPPING THE TAPE

AS SOON AS WE FINISHED THE SONGS.

SINCE RECORDING THIS WAS SO LONG AND TEDIOUS,

WE WOULD FUCK AROUND NOW AND THEN

AND DO A FEW COVER SONGS

(WHICH NO ONE CAN NOTICE ANYWAYS).

WE DID SONGS BY NUNSLAUGHTER,

FEAR OF GOD, CHEECH AND CHONG,

AND OTHERS AND OTHERS I CAN'T REMEMBER.

I THOUGHT OF THE PIANO INTRO

WHILE I WAS TAKING A SHIT RIGHT BEFORE WE RECORDED.

I ORIGINALLY PUT THIS OUT ON MY OWN LABEL.

307 WERE PRESSED.

A LITTLE OVER 100 WERE ON YELLOW VINYL,

AND A LITTLE OVER 200 WERE ON RED VINYL.

ALSO, 50 OF THE COPIES HAD A FULL COLOR COVER.

I DID SUCH A SMALL PRESSING BECAUSE I DIDN'T THINK

I COULD SELL TOO MANY COPIES OF A RECORD

THAT SOUNDED LIKE COMPLETE GARBAGE, PLUS,

I ONLY WANTED PEOPLE THAT HEARD A.C. BEFORE

TO HEAR IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT PEOPLE

TO THINK ALL OF OUR RECORDS

WERE SONGS PLAYING OVER EACH OTHER.

SHORTLY AFTER IT CAME OUT, IT WAS LICENSED TO

TOTAL NOISE TAPES AND RECORDS.

HE PRESSED 1100 COPIES ON 6 DIFFERENT COLOR VINYLS.

I THOUGHT HE WAS OUT OF HIS MIND

FOR PRESSING THAT MANY, BUT THEY ALL SOLD.

THE ONLY THING THAT SUCKED

WAS THAT HE MADE HIS OWN COVER FOR THE RECORD

WITHOUT TELLING ME.

IT LOOKS LIKE A 5 YEAR OLD DREW A BAD PORNO PICTURE.

I WAS TOTALLY EMBARRASSED WHEN I SAW IT.

 

TRACKS NINE AND TEN: ANOTHER E.P.

 

THIS WAS RECORDED ON JANUARY 20,1990

ON A CASSETTE RECORDER IN MY MOTHER'S ATTIC.

WE WERE SICK OF THE BAND AND WANTED TO RECORD

OUR LAST PRACTICE FOR A RECORD AND THEN BREAK UP.

6 HOURS LATER WE REFORMED BECAUSE

WE WANTED TO PLAY IN EUROPE BEFORE WE BROKE UP.

THIS IS ME AND TIM'S FAVORITE

OF THE ORIGINAL LINEUP RECORDINGS.

500 WERE PRESSED, BUT 50 GOT DESTROYED IN THE MAIL.

THEY ARE ON YELLOW VINYL.

 

TRACK ELEVEN: OUTAKES FROM ANOTHER E.P.

 

THESE HAVE NEVER BEEN RELEASED.

THE FIRST PART OF IT WAS BASICALLY A SOUND CHECK

TO SEE IF WE COULD HEAR ALL OF THE INSTRUMENTS.

I MOVED A COUPLE THINGS AROUND AND THEN

WE DID THE VERSION YOU HEAR ON THE RECORD.

THE OTHER STUFF IS TYPICAL A.C. NOISE SHIT.

 

TRACK TWELVE: LIVE IN SCHWABISCH HALL, GERMANY APRIL 3,1990

 

THIS PART OF OUR 1ST SHOW OF OUR 1ST EUROPEAN TOUR. THERE IS ALSO A BOOTLEG SPLIT 7" WITH PART OF THIS SHOW MADE BY THE GUITARIST OF PATARENI.

THE WHOLE SHOW WAS THE LONGEST ONE

WE HAD PLAYED UP UNTIL THAT POINT (40 MINUTES,

OUR SHOWS WERE USUALLY 8-15 MINUTES BACK THEN).

THE ASSHOLE FROM PATARENI

ONLY GAVE US 3 COPIES OF THE RECORD.

 

TRACK THIRTEEN: LIVE IN BERLIN,

GERMANY APRIL 20,1990

 

THIS WAS THE LAST SHOW BY THE ORIGINAL LINEUP.

WE WERE SUPPOSED TO PLAY IN EAST BERLIN

(WHEN IT WAS STILL EAST GERMANY) THE NEXT DAY,

BUT WE DIDN'T GET TO BECAUSE IT WAS AN OUTDOOR SHOW, AND IT STARTED RAINING HEAVILY

AND THE WIND KNOCKED THE P.A. OVER.

 

SO THAT WAS IT FOR THE ORIGINAL LINEUP.

ALL THIS STUFF (EXCEPT FOR ANOTHER E.P. OUTAKES,

BUT WITH 5,643 SONG E.P. OUTAKES) WAS ORIGINALLY REPRESSED ON ECOCENTRIC RECORDS IN GERMANY.

THE FIRST 1000 HAD A CHEAP CARDBOARD COVER,

AND WAS CALLED "FAST BOSTON H.C.",

EVEN THOUGH I WANTED IT TO BE CALLED

"GREATEST HITS PART ONE".

THE SECOND PRESSING OF 1000

WAS CALLED "GREATEST HITS PART ONE"

HAD A JEWEL BOX WITH A BETTER INSERT.

SO LIKE I MENTIONED EARLIER,

A.C. REFORMED IN MARCH,1991

WITH FRED ORDONEZ ON GUITAR.

MIKE HAD MOVED TO INDIANA.

FRED WAS IN THE BAND SHIT SCUM,

WHO A.C. HAD PLAYED WITH BEFORE, AND WHEN

HE JOINED A.C., HE WAS PLAYING BASS FOR PHLEGM.

ALL THE RECORDINGS ON DISK 2

HAD BEEN RE-RELEASED ON DEVOUR RECORDS.

IT WAS CALLED "OLD STUFF PART 2".

THERE WERE 2000 PRESSED.

 

751047-2 NG Records

 

DISK TWO

 

TRACK ONE: A.C SIDE OF SPLIT 7"

WITH MEAT SHITS

 

THIS WAS RECORDED ON MAY 11,1991

ON A 4-TRACK RECORDER IN MY MOTHER'S ATTIC.

I ORIGINALLY PUT IT OUT ON MY OWN LABEL

(WICKED SICK RECORDS),

1000 COPIES WERE PRESSED ON BLACK VINYL.

IT LATER GOT RE-PRESSED ON FUDGEWORTHY RECORDS

(ALSO 1000 PRESSED).

THIS CD VERSION CONTAINS BONUS SONGS

NOT ON THE ORIGINAL PRESSING OF THE 7".

 

TRACK TWO: A.C. SIDE OF SPLIT 7"

WITH PSYCHO

 

THIS WAS ALSO RECORDED ON MAY 11,1991

ON A 4-TRACK RECORDER IN MY MOTHER'S ATTIC.

THIS ORIGINALLY CAME OUT ON AX/CTION RECORDS.

THE FIRST 1000 WERE ON SPLATTER VINYL

AND THE SECOND 1000 WERE ON RED VINYL

WITH SOME YELLOW DOTS OR SOMETHING ON IT.

 

TRACK THREE: A.C. SONGS FROM

THE MASTER OF NOISE 12" COMP

 

THIS WAS ALSO RECORDED ON MAY 11,1991

ON A 4-TRACK IN MY MOTHER'S ATTIC.

THIS IS THE ONLY RECORD WE EVER MADE

WHICH I THINK IS COMPLETELY FILLER MATERIAL.

THERE WERE 1000 OF THESE PRESSED

ON S.O.A. RECORDS FROM ITALY.

THE ASSHOLE THAT PUT THIS OUT

NEVER SENT US ANY COPIES OF THIS,

SO I HAD TO BUY COPIES FROM SOMEONE ELSE.

HE ALSO HAD THE NERVE AFTER NOT SENDING US

ANY COPIES TO PUT OUT AN AD OF

"BANDS WHO I HAVEN'T TALKED TO ABOUT IT,

BUT I WANT TO PUT A RECORD OUT BY".

AND HE MENTIONED WANTING

TO PUT OUT A FULL LENGTH A.C. LP.

FUCK OFF PAOLO!!!!!!

 

TRACK FOUR: SIDE ONE OF UNPLUGGED E.P.

 

THIS WAS RECORDED ON MAY 12,1991

ON A 4-TRACK IN MY MOTHER'S ATTIC.

WE WOULD HAVE RECORDED IT THE DAY BEFORE

WHEN WE DID THE OTHER SHIT, BUT WE USED

ALL THE ELECTRIC OUTLETS FOR THE EQUIPMENT,

AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY OTHER EXTENSION CORDS.

WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY LIGHTS,

SO WHEN THE SUN WENT DOWN,

WE COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING,

SO WE DID IT THE NEXT DAY.

THIS RECORD CAME OUT ON

PSYCHOMANIA RECORDS FROM SCOTLAND,

AND 500 COPIES WERE PRESSED.

THIS CD CONTAINS SONGS NOT ON THE ORIGINAL 7".

 

TRACK FIVE: SIDE TWO OF UNPLUGGED E.P.

 

THIS WAS RECORDED LIVE

IN SOME HIPPIE GUY'S HOUSE IN AUSTIN, TEXAS

ON JULY 9,1991.

WE WERE ON TOUR AND HAD A DAY OFF

AND SOME KIDS SAID WE COULD DO A SHOW

AT SOME GUY'S HOUSE. WHEN WE GOT THERE,

THEIR WASN'T ANY MICROPHONES OR P.A.,

SO I ASKED IF HE HAD AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR

(I FIGURED HE WOULD SINCE HE WAS A HIPPIE).

SO WE DID AN UNPLUGGED SET

ON HIS LIVING ROOM FLOOR WITH EVERYONE

(ALL 12 PEOPLE) SITTING AROUND US IN A CIRCLE.

THIS IS AN ACTUAL "TRUE" ACOUSTIC SHOW,

ONLY DRUMS, ACOUSTIC GUITAR,

AND I SCREAMED OUT LOUD WITHOUT A MICROPHONE.

THIS CD HAS EXTRA SONGS NOT ON THE ORIGINAL 7".

 

TRACK SIX: SIDE ONE OF LIVE E.P.

 

THIS IS FROM A LIVE SHOW IN HOUSTON, TEXAS

FROM JULY 6, 1991

ON OUR TOUR WITH PHLEGM AND INCANTATION.

THIS RECORD CAME OUT ON PSYCHOMANIA RECORDS

THIS CD CONTAINS EXTRA SONGS NOT ON THE ORIGINAL 7". SPLATTERREAH AND SOILENT GREEN

ALSO PLAYED AT THIS SHOW.

 

TRACK SEVEN: SIDE TWO OF LIVE E.P.
