When I was first contacted by message to download some compilations,
I thought cool, I probably already have what this guy is encouraging me to
download in my vast archives of old hardcore. But then I read the message
further, and I noticed he wrote that all of these compilations were remastered.
So this got me a bit more curious :)
I saw the names of the comps were Deflagration, and then it started to jog
my memory, so I looked in my files to see if I had any of these comps, and I
noticed I have the first one in the series.
Then I looked at the band line-ups for the comp, and it was all really fast old
bands from all over the world, and it brought my memory back, I had forgotten
about this series of compilations.
I remember now that these compilations were similar to BCT Tapes (from San
Diego, California) which most old Punks remember very well in the scope of
the history of hardcore.
Deflagration Tapes were the European equivalent to BCT Tapes. They really
got people listening to the more underground bands and scenes of the early
80's, which I grew up on, so I can highly appreciate and pay homage to the
founder Oliver, and the series that in my opinion is very historic to worldwide
hardcore !
So to really understand and pay respect, I will now post what Oliver (from
France), the founder of Deflagration Tapes wrote to me:
Deflagration Tapes :
In year 1983 I travelled to the US and ended up for a month in Boston.
There I hanged out with Kurt guitar for Siege and started buying some
vinyls. Ended up with Boston Not LA comp. and Not So Quiet On The
Western Front double Lp and of course with a bunch of Boston bands
Ep's and
Lp's.
In Europe I was mostly listening to Uk bands, Discharge had a great
influence.
I also traveled Uk and met lots of great people from Disorder, Chaos
Uk, Subhumans,... I spent much time mail writing and tape trading
with others and in contact with many bands, but this time from
everywhere, these tapes from the underground would come from
Poland, Yougoslavia, Brazil, Italy, Australia, all countries of Europe
and of course from Japan and the USA.
Maximum Rock'n'roll was also a very great help to people as the zine
would write down scene reports and many bands having demos would
simply leave their address on the zine to be contacted. I wrote
hundreds of letters !
Year 84 I had so many great band's demos that I thought it would great
to share ''best songs'' of plenty of bands from all over the place instead
of trading full demos from the same area - many people enjoyed the
first tape that I simply called Vol.1 as I thought there would be many
more to come. Well at least there are 6 that went out, mostly copied
at the time on the cheapest tapes, most copies have disappeared
forever so I decided to rework the initial project with better quality
originals (when available) and to remasterise a little bit the weakest
recordings to make those tapes available again, later being better than
never...

Nowadays with internet even the most obscure HC bands have become
free and available to listen to but I feel that what happened 30 years
back was an interesting time as the bands were still playing, writing to
each other and organizing themselves with a remarquable spirit.
Olivier

ReplyDeleteThank you my friend ! Olivier is a very cool dude ! Just met him last year, very glad we became friends ! I'm from the old school also, i've been in the L.A. HC scene since 79', so I listened to all these bands when I was young :) Is a very cool time for old hardcore to come back, those rare releases we were always looking for are finally coming out to the public. Olivier wanted it all to be Free, and I give him a ton of respect for bringing these comps back to life ! Very very good guy, he represents what hardcore should be about !!!!!
Delete"Is a very cool time for old hardcore to come back"

ReplyDeletethank you very much
Re-uploaded June 21, 2015 !

ReplyDeleteThank you my friend !
DeleteWas important for me to put these up, very much history !
Should have come out in 80's, but because of some technical difficulties, I think only 1 of the comps ever saw the light of day.
Olivier is a great dude ! Like me, he is dedicated the the preservation of Punk/Hardcore history.
I just bought a cassette tape ripper, so more fun and rare stuff to come soon !
Thanks again, and bless you too Brother !
