THIS TOPIC IS STILL SUBJECT TO RESEARCH
Yes that’s right, a very early punk 45 rpm single has been given to me. You need to know that records and tapes are the tangible witnesses of how it was in the early days of Punk. The hard and tangible pieces of evidence from a time-period in music. The record I’m talking about is not an original remnant of that period but a remake of one. The original one is highly sought after. It was pressed originally by Stuff Records in 1978. It was put onto vinyl because they entered the “First Belgian Punk Contest“.
As it is usually the case in Belgium, everything is displayed in multiple languages. On this single also, French and Dutch but also Arabic, English and Russian.
What’s mentioned in these texts is the story behind the title “Remember Cell 609”. It was because they did their first public appearance on that first Belgian Punk contest. And their view upon the contest.
After hearing a lot of that mellowed out Hardcore of nowadays this is a welcome pure Punk release that brings back the roots and a fresh tune. Two songs of early punk before the Hardcore wave from the USA. Essential to your collection…
