No Alternative - Live + Demo 1980

No Alternative were originally called KGB and were a San Francisco band that existed from 1978 to 1982. They appeared as KGB on a live compilation title Can You Hear Me Music From The Deaf Club that was recorded in March 1979 and released in 1980. In September 1979 as No Alternative they had one song on the SF Underground 7"ep and their only 7" was released in 1980. Their last release was one song on the Not so quiet On The Western Front compilation put together by Maximum Rock 'n' Roll magazine in 1982. After that they disappeared until the late 1980s when they briefly reformed and released a split 12" with a band called Lifeline. since then two CD collections have been released to the joy of fans everywhere. The sound quality on the demo is very good and the live show is a soundboard recording with excellent sound quality.

Freeze - Rarities

Here's the Freeze from Boston. I found these three songs on the end of a tape along with a few other Freeze songs that are now officially released. Knockweed is from 1981 and the other two I believe are from 1986. A version of D.E.A. was released on their 1990 album  Misery Loves Company and No More Idols is a Nervous Eaters cover. I haven't found it in the Freeze discography so I assume it was never released. Nervous Eaters only released a version of it in 2002 on their Eat This CD. The version here runs off the end of the tape so it is not complete but most of it is there. Very good sound quality.

track list: [from cassette tape]
01. Knockweed
02. D.E.A.
03. No More Idols (cut)
