NeoBoys and a brief dip into Portland's punk roots...

1983 - History Of Portland Punk Volume One

I used to have a vinyl copy of this ridiculously cool record, but I gifted it to my friend Isaiah from the band the Eegos. :( I'm a dumbass. This record was released by Zeno Records on wax, back before I ever lived in Portland. The CD reissue from 2000 is out of print and goes for about $70 on Amazon. However, the label now offers it for sale as a CDR here. This is a really amazing peek at the scene here in Portland in the late seventies, which was fantastic and really in and of itself. Around this same time the Satyricon released a lesser compilation of local bands as well. I'll get it up here someday. The track listing is as follows:

1 Better Off Dead - Wipers
2 Up In Flames - Wipers
3 Does It Hurt? - Wipers
4 Romeo - Wipers
5 No Solution - Wipers
6 Never Comes Down - Neoboys
7 Give Me The Message - Neoboys
8 Rich Man's Dream - Neoboys

13 Gimme You - Sado-Nation

I also am linking a live recording of the amazing and hard to track down music of old-school Portland girl-punkers the NeoBoys.
Enjoy!
