Despite the bad description in the listing - i predict a bidding war here. Allegedly there’s 300 copies of Raped Ass with this cover, though there’s 2 variations of it, so that makes it 2 batches of 150.  Given the way things are going on ebay I can’t even predict what this could sell for. The sky is honestly the limit at this point.

As for the music, this is as good as it gets for Swedish hardcore and the “d-beat” sub-genre if you ask me. It’s an obvious choice but it also delivers on every level start to finish. The most harsh shouted vocals, crunchy trebled guitars, drums awash with cymbals (Bonzo style for your rockers), and a good bass tone to hold it all together. Every song is just so well written, with great melodies balancing the brutality, superb choruses, and scrappy little guitar solos to put emphasis on certain sections. Actually I think the guitar solos might be what I love most. They sound really tinny and have a chorus effect applied to them making use of the whole fretboard as opposed to the one-note solo method employed by Discharge. It renders the songs much more righteous sounding, and anthemic, which I think can be really important for this style of punk. If you’re smashing the system you need the songs to be like a speech at a rally that fires up the crowd. They gotta really preach that gospel. Really it’s pretty rare that you can beat out the originator of your chosen style in music, but here’s Anti-Cimex, lapping Discharge and raising the bar for all subsequent entries.

 you talk about the freedom
but we have no freedom
you talk about the rights
but we have no rights
this fucking system is liked a raped ass

Good luck bidders…
