Dicks - Kill From The Heart (NM/NM)
April 17th, 2009 by cc

Really, one of the biggest mistakes that Greg Ginn has made in his 30+ years of SST, is ever letting The Dicks “Kill From The Heart” go out of print. This is not only one of the best releases the label ever saw, but one of the best rock lps ever to come from Texas. It’s got that drunk sweaty swagger that riffers like ZZ Top had, or pscyhe punks like the 13th Floor Elevators could show off, but it has its own context. So while the sun-baked twang of “Pigs Run Wild” is Texan in tradition, it took a bunch of left leaning, queer punks to play it just like this. For the record, they play the fuck out of it. It’s criminal this album isn’t available to the masses ON ANY FORMAT, and that it isn’t mentioned nearly as much as other greats of the day, many of which it outclasses.When the album opens with Anti Klan Pt. 1, there’s echoes of “You’re Gonna Miss Me” surging through it, but with a completely new sentiment in the lyrics. Disgust at their surroundings. Dicks vs. The World. This record is great cruising tunes (and I mean that both if you’re just out for a springtime drive, or you know… if you’re cruising). I caught the Dicks in Austin in 2006 and they were still pretty great.Peep the sweet condition this copy is in. For whatever reason, whenever you can find this lp it’s always hammered with ring wear and bashed corners. A copy in sweet condition like this with shrink still covering most of it is pretty rare.

    I have heard that no one in the band has the original recordings and that’s why it’s gone out of print. Anyone truth to that? All we have is the totally incomplete CD on Alternative Tentacles, which has too much of the later stuff, Sad….

    SST used some kind of terrible stock for their covers. The SST records I got back in the 80s and took care of still got slight ring wear. They were definitely more prone to damage than a lot of other label’s records from the same era were.

    I have had a number of SST records over the years that had terrible ring wear. My old copy of My War was especially bad looking.
