S&M 002

Compiled 18/04/96 & 27/04/96 at Grass Roots Studio Cardiff. Engineered by Paul Durrant Pressing of 1000, but only about 600/700 exist as lack of storage meant excess ended up in landfill. Far better quality than S&M 001, but didn't sell as well because didn't have Green Day track. Compilation album with accompanying magazine. Album is comprised of local 'Newport' bands, live recordings of touring bands who played the 'Legendary' TJ's venue with audio excerpts pertaining to TJ's, Newport and the magazine topics. The Cristina Martinez track is excerpts from the TJ's interview with a Boss Hog drum loop Speedo is of course from the mighty Rocket From The Crypt The Smiths track is a live recording of their performance at the Newport Centre at the moment when an over zealous crowd dragged poor Steven off the stage, the show was stopped and the manager makes his apologies and the audience are very unhappy. Discord had a name change to Ruby Cruiser (signed with Elemental) Magazine: Interviews with Cristina Martinez (Boss Hog), Brainiac, Rocket From the Crypt & Therapy? live revues plus photos of other bands who'd played TJ's around that time.
