• Various – The Portable Altamont

CD, Shock, 1991

In 1989, Stefan Jaworczyn’s occasional splatter movie magazine Shock Xpress spawned Shock Records. The label’s first five releases were limited run singles (500 copies) by Coil, Current 93, Drunks With Guns, Nurse With Wound, and his own Skullflower. Then a year later, they stuck them all onto a single CD, with an extra track from each outfit. Nice – the friendly face of capitalism even then, eh, SJ? Also, some great Savage Pencil graphics too. Some of these have been compiled on rarities and “uncollected” compilations; others have not. We like Skullflower us but YMMV. Knock yourself out, kid.
