Awesome Box set!!! Never had the Minor Threat ones. Had original copies of the others. As GREAT as those bands were, the best band in dc at that time was Black Market Baby! The singles and Senseless Offerings lp are Top notch, Yo.

I have seen The Saints a few times. the first time was the original lineup, fantastic although very very loud. Next was Chris's solo effort he was nursing a bottle of Jack Daniels, which did not end well. Then again at a private party. It was a really great performance.

I used to have the two Minor Threat 7"s and the a Teen Idles 7" and I sold them for $50 like 25 years ago. I thought, "No one is ever going to pay more than $50 for a 7"!" I was wrong. My wife still bullies me for not drinking. 🤣

Love this shop got my board here

I was so excited about this. So psyched to have it.

日本人の私より、あなたの方がめちゃ日本のバンド詳しいです。 凄い!!😮

🤘🏻🤘🏻

Love his voice great band! The Sunnyboys are another band unknown over here.

cheers !!!

That "Japanese Power Pop" one is from famed comedian/director Beat Takeshi!

All those beautiful 45s! I would love to go record shopping with Carole. Over here most people don't bother with 45s for some reason..fools that they are.

Carole knows her stuff!

Loved that third one. Can you reply with the name of Carole's favorite?

Holy moly...Aldious on VINYL! Awesome scores!

Chika!

I was about ten feet to the right of where you were. It was a great show!

Cool video, thanks for putting it here.

You got me drooling over those cds! If you ever come across any Scandal disks on the Kitty label grab them. They were only sold at Tower records in Japan and now they go for 2 to 3 hundred dollars each!

What a fantastic scores and so cheap. Awesome!

I am taking notes on the bands you got there As for Cyntia, they are great and in 3 days, they are doing a show with Aldious and Re:NO and Aruto are in the lineup for the concert It is so great that so many artists add extra stuff to their cds like a dvd. It would cost me less to fly to Japan from the East coast of Canada and grab all those and fly back right after than buying them online.

Love The Saints always been one of my favourite 'punk' bands. The Story of Love has to be one of the most melodic songs ever. I managed to pick up I'm Stranded on the Power Exchange label which I believe is an Aussie Label, quite a rarity in The UK

Heard about Bridear to late to get to the shows but got to Hanabie and they are so amazing. I have been saying that Sony need to do a rerelease of the first 2 albums (I was lucky enough to grab a copy of the second album but really want a copy of Cherry Blossoms). I also dream of a Japanese festival in Australia one day not just rock and metal either maybe tie in with some Anime convention or something.

No mate. Ed and the band were great. Mark Arm maybe not the best choose. Kim Salmon would have done a good job!

1. Love the "Shout It Out Loud" single! (duh) 2. Had no idea Cronos had a solo album! What's the point? I can't imagine it's any different than a Venom album. 3. Dallas bought 20+ CDs on his recent trip there. All, or mostly Japanese bands.

vocals sound terrible, glad I didn't shell out for this.

I saw Aldious in the thumbnail and watched 16m15s and will have to rewatch to write down some names that I don't know so that I look them up

Good post, mate. Here is my review of their debut from my article The Top 15 Punk Albums published on Analog Planet: (I’m) Stranded: The Saints. Released February 27, 1977. The Saints first appeared in Brisbane, Australia in 1973. The four members were high school buddies living under a heavily conservative state government. There is a post on RUclips with only fair sound of them playing a gig in 1974 in punk style. (The similarities between The Saints and Ramones are striking. Both were serving up punk in 1974 and both recorded three great albums in a row with their original line-ups before personnel changes.) After being rejected by every label in Australia they released "I'm Stranded" bw "No Time" on their own Fatal label in September 1976, the remarkable single actually reaching #96 on the Aussie charts. It was re-pressed on British labels and got rave reviews. Sounds magazine called it "Single of this and every week." Jon Savage wrote about the 45 "...the toughest, most brutal noise yet. The Saints' "(I'm) Stranded" sounded as though it had been recorded in a wind tunnel, with the singer and the rhythm section hanging as gusts of guitar noise rushed past them." For a very short time they were the darlings of the fledgling punk world and with the wind at their back they recorded their classic debut album, (I'm) Stranded, in just two days in Australia. Ten marvelous songs filled with surging waves of buzz-saw guitar and superb musicianship, "('m) Stranded" is a classic of the genre. What a racket they served up, much of the lyrics indecipherable under the noise. Singer Chris Bailey barks out songs filled with alienation. bitterness and resentment as in the title song. "Like a snake calling on the phone/I've got no time to be alone/There is someone coming at me all the time/Babe I think I'll lose my mind/'Cause I'm stranded on my own/Stranded far from home/I'm riding on a midnight train/And everybody looks just the same/A subway light it's dirty reflection/I'm lost I don't have a direction/Chorus/ Look at me looking at you/There ain't a thing that I can do/You are lost, your mind is a whirl/Baby such a stupid girl/Chorus/ Livin' in a world insane/They cut out some heart and some brain/'Been filling it up with dirt/Do you know how much it hurts?/Chorus". There's not a dud on the album. Plenty of fast punk as well as ballads like "Messin' With The Kid" and mid-tempo songs like "Story Of Love" are all beautifully rendered. Ed Kuepper, guitar, Kym Bradshaw, bass and Ivor Hay, drums, are one blitzing force. The Saints second album, Eternally Yours, adds horns on some songs and, no joke, is just as good as the debut. Their third LP, Prehistoric Sounds, finds them leaving punk for a more bluesy, jazzy sound, but believe me it is terrific too. None of these albums were big commercial successes; the lads did not fit in with the punk image. The snobby British press did not like their long hair, Bailey's sloppy appearance (he sometimes smoked a cigarette on stage) and the fact they did cover songs didn’t help. But Nick Cave has said, "They were kind of god-like to me and my colleagues. They were just always so much better than everybody else. It was extraordinary to go and see a band that was so anarchic and violent." And Sir Bob Geldof has stated " Rock music in the 70's was altered by three bands: Sex Pistols, The Ramones and The Saints."

I’ll definitely check this place out during my next trip!

I LOVE the diskunion punk store! I always get stuff I’m after when I’m over there!

I know what you mean about Japanese vinyl. I have all of Scandal's releases on cd but I wanted to get some on vinyl. I found one of the albums and they wanted $274.00 for it!

🎉the great band there is still is

menuda mierda.

Best gig! I was at the front but on the right side 😊

The three minutes and thity-five seconds that changed Australian rock history for ever. What a kickass version by a kickass lineup. You rock Damo for documenting this.

Orrite! Great recording man, thanks heaps for posting this for us stupid suckers who weren't there for some reason. I swear I saw Mick Harvey almost smile towards the end!. Nothing against Mark Arm's great performance, but in this song especially, I can't help hearing Bailey's croon in my mind, and thinking of two local singers who could have captured that better -- either Dave Graney, or Henry Wagons (who were both probably there in the audience!),

🔥🔥🔥

I saw the saints here in brizzy back in 07 for the pig city gig. Couple of weeks back I pressed that set on vinyl, I forgot how much fancy banter bailey was talking between songs lol

Its been a long time. Nice work bro

<3 wow, i´d loved to dancin missbehave there

Was there.Great show.Mark Arm looked a little intimidated by Ed Kuepper I thought 😅.My recollection is that gig at The Corner was advertised as showcasing the material from the period after the first 3 albums but it was very much in the fine print.I didn't go for that reason.

??????????!!!!! BONKERS YO!!! I was completely unaware that this was going down!!! Sounds pretty friggin all right to these ears. How was the rest of the show?? Having Mark Arm up there makes total sense!!! Hope you had a Blast!!

Awesome Stuff Bro.. Great Days.. Got To See Them Heaps In Melbourne Back Then 🤘👍

nice video

This is amazing!! I just found your channel and I’m hooked!!!

Too Frigging cool,Yo!! Looks incredible.

The Stupids were great. First heard them in 85 some time. Saw them with The Hard Ons in London in 88, was great. I'm from N.Ireland, but left home when I was 19 in Feb 88. When to every hc punk gig I found out about. Flying around London on my skateboard, record shopping in rough trade, vinyl solution (they had a shop in Camden Town). Great times.

For me Bridear's 1st and latest album is their best imo. I'm seeing Bridear next year in a very small venue here in England I can't wait. I'm doing the meet and greet too, better brush up on the old Japanese. Was the Hanabie meet and greet before or after the show and if it was before how did you protect the poster?

Love the energy of the live shows of this band, they are all awesome on their role and of course they all look utterly cute and sweet 💜💜💜

was at the back of this show, appreciate the closer view. It was such a great show.

I missed out last year too so was stoked to catch Hanabie this time around. Pretty sure I saw you at the show! One thing that stood out was (merch line excluded) everyone was just stuck to their spot from like 1/2 hour before the opener and didnt want to move, not just the pit but people throughout. Must've been a slow night at the bar.
