Bikarbonato N1-(Fanzine-Spain-198?)

Bikarbonato was a fanzine made by the Bikarbonato Collective in La Cuadra (Basque Country-Spain).

It was mainly focused on poetries and short stories with a few drawings. This is the issue number 1 and there is no date listed, I guess came out sometimes in the 80s. 

Only in the Spanish language.
Disfrutalo.

THE GREY WOLVES-Legion Of Hell-(Strenght Recordings-UK-c60-198?)

The Grey Wolves are David Padbury and Trevor Ward (3). They have existed since the early 1980s when they began releasing a number of tapes via their label Anal Probe, which later split into Artaman and Zeal SS; the latter changed its name quite often and is nowadays Open Wound. In 1992 they were contacted by Tesco Organisation and recorded their first LP. Their art is definied as "A Manifestation of the Cultural Terrorism Network", and their packages and visuals are collages of disturbing and provocative images, photos and symbols. The Grey Wolves play heavy industrial noise with a genuine punk attitude, being irreverent and nasty, but never lacking self-awareness and irony. 

   Strenght Recording was a small english label based in Amesbury and focused on noise and industrial acts,my copy was distributed in Italy by the mighty Ministry of Ultramarine Theatres.

Enjoy it.

VANDAL X-Sing Me A New Song-(Opus Day Society-c60-Holland-198?)

Vandal X is Don van Handel a New Jersey based experimental noise musician.In this tape He shakes us with different modular noises and weird rhythms,voices of tortures and pain getting closer to claustrophobic alien presences.

v.a.- SUBWAY TO DEATH -(Sick Records-UK-c60-198?)

About this tape  I am going to c+p some info taken from discogs webpage :
"Sick Records was founded by members of the Decay,basically to release the band's own stuff.
The label then released tapes/records by other bands until one of them became to lazy
and was kicked out(me!)-definitely justified.The 2 other guys then decided to start
Far Out Records (2) while I started Resistance Productions..."
The link for this page  is here.
However this compilation is not on that page and it seems to have been released on the end of the 80s and then distributed from Resistance Productions in fact I am sure I  received it from Pablo of R.P.
For the tracklist and  some info  I am  attaching the scans of the cover-sleeve pages.
Everything is a bit messy on the cover-sleeve and some of the recordings are not the best, as for the music  expect raw punk and anarchist lyrics.
I guess this is very hard to find now.
