bizarros - the complete collection 76-80 lp

WINDIAN RECORDS has been on quite a roll lately.  they just reissued two TESTORS singles and a PENETRATORS lp as well as releasing the awesome debut album from SPIDER FEVER ..... and on top of all that they've compiled a two lp collection of hits from the sadly overlooked ohio proto punkers, THE BIZARROS...... this new comp is highly recommended to all who love their rock n roll as trashy, angular, weird and lo-fi as can be...... and especially suggested if you love those killed by death collections.....

THE BIZARROS formed in akron, ohio in the mid 70s and immediately set out to destroy what mainstream rock n roll had become, much like PERE UBU, THE STOOGES, TELEVISION, THE NEW YORK DOLLS, THE TESTORS and CRIME, THE BIZARROS broke the rules and set the stage for almost all of what we call punk, post punk and indie rock these days...... its just too bad no one gives them much credit until now......

THE COMPLETE COLLECTION 1976 - 1980 includes their singles on CLONE RECORDS (ohio's late 70s / early 80s haven for strange new music) and their one full length lp that oddly enough MERCURY RECORDS put out in 1979... as well as some demo and live tracks that were to become their second lp that never came to fruition....
 
perhaps now their legacy can be cemented into the true history of the riotous underground rock n roll we all love.......all thanks to WINDIAN......
