I spent years trying to track this sucker down, and it was worth it. These scummy punkers started a band in San Francisco in the early 80’s, and disbanded before releasing anything. Singer Nikki Sikki later joined the band Verbal Abuse (if you listen close, you’ll notice that the song “Verbal Abuse” off their first release is just the song “Sick Pleasure” sped up and with slightly different lyrics), while the other three members picked up a new singer and started the band Code of Honor. Luckily, Sick Pleasure reunited in the studio to record a spilt LP with Code of Honor and a solo 7” in the mid-80’s. This bootleg release was kind of a “best of” for the band, with the first four tracks coming from the split LP, and the last three coming from the 7”. It’s some good mid-tempo scum rock, particularly the title track.1. Three Seconds of Pleasure
2. Sick Pleasure
3. Herpes Virus 2
4. Dolls Under Control
5. Speed Rules
6. I Want To Burn My Parents
7. Love Song
Enjoy
What did you pay for it?
ReplyDeleteNot much, I think about $5. I found it at a record show. I imagine their original releases are worth more, but then again this bootleg was was pretty hard to track down itself.
ReplyDeleteI've got a copy of the 7" "Original" I'd be willing to sell for the right price-
ReplyDeleteI can't stand owning something that rare. It's like the Mona Lisa of punk records. I feel uneasy just looking at it.I know something is going to happen to it if I don't off it...
