Mutha 004 - Fatal Rage / s/t 12"

MUTHA # 004 (1983): Fatal Rage s/t 12"


Another great Mutha release is the Fatal Rage LP. Flex mentions this to be "New Jersey hardcore punk at its best", maybe "the best Mutha release." I wouldn´t go that far, but nonethelesse it´s fast, catchy and agressive Punkrock tending to be Hardcore. That stuff kicks ass.

And like all other Mutha stuff totally underrated. No reissue so far, and only a few Youtube videos. So you have to find a copy for yourself or search the internet for some download. If I wouldn´t know that it´s somewhere available out there in the internet, I swear that I would post a download link or upload it to Youtube. I usually really respect copyrights or so, but on the other hand, it´s like great paintings, they belong to the masses and everybody should be able to see or hear them. And, with no reissues so far, I think the music and band would get lost. Memories just fade away. Or die out. Just think 10 years in the future.

500 pressed.



Backside, band fotos. As you can see, Fatal Rage was known for their excessive live appearances. Or as some fellow blogger posted - they had no problem finding an audience - the problem was finding a place to play as they were banned from all the Jersey clubs. Punkrock days.

































They used old jackets and put the inside out. You can see here the original cover, with crossed out printing; it´s from an early 80´s caribic calypso music whatever record ... I checked it but lost the name and wasn´t motivated to recheck it during taking the fotos.





Detail of the backside ... they glued the cover papers on the jacket. I am not sure if the shrinkwrap is original or not but decided to let it as it is.
