VA - 'Shoot And Crucify'

CSR373CD (24 July 2026)
CD in digipak
Barcode: 0641871746958




The third tape on the fledgling Cold Spring label, 'Shoot And Crucify' was released back in 1988 in an edition of just 50 copies (CS003). It features some of the very earliest works of many now-influential and essential Industrial / Noise / Experimental artists.

The 'scene' at the time was built on the mail-art network, exchanging an explosion of ideas, sounds and art around the world via the (then very cheap) postal system. Just a handful of these 19 tracks have since been reissued, but the vast majority have remained locked in this analogue time capsule for nearly 40 years. Compiled by Rob Maycock. Remastered by Martin Bowes (The Cage).

Features: ETHNIC ACID (Anthony Di Franco of Ramleh, AX), SATORI (Dave Kirby + Rob Maycock), THU20 (Guido Doesborg, Jac Van Bussel, Jos Smolders, Peter Duimelinks, Roel Meelkop), DEATH PACT (Korm Plastics boss Frans De Waard + Midas Tapes boss DMDN), REDEMPTION INC. (Neil Campbell of Astral Social Club), BASQUADECK SHELF (Neil Campbell + Mark Turner of ESP Kinetic), L.S.D. (Final Muzik boss Gianfranco Santoro), RADICAL CHANGE (Roberto Vicentini), WELL CRUCIAL (Matthew Kinnison of Cindytalk, Richard Youngs + others who went on to form A Band, Stewart Walden of Smell & Quim, Neil Campbell, members of The Strolling Ones), DAVE KIRBY (Satori, Psychopath), KAPOTTE MUZIEK (Frans de Waard), PSYCHOPATH (Dave Kirby + Rob Maycock, pre-Satori), MERZDOW SHEK (Mario Marzidovsek), NOSTALGIE ETERNELLE (Dieter Mauson of Occupied Head, D.S.I.P. + Stefan Heinze of Inox Kapell, Ferien Vom Ich), and THE STATE (Steven Tanza of Bourbonese Qualk).

Listen to label boss Justin talk with Cassette Culture podcast about the early days of the label.
