Guilty Razors Complete Recordings - 1978

The Holy Grail of '70s French punk - all known recordings by Guilty Razors, the Parisian punk band (1975-1978) - file between Metal Urbain and Les Olivensteins.
To perfect the long-awaited LP, the band recorded demos of other tracks. There was a cover of Pink Floyd's "Lucifer Sam" from the Syd Barrett era, "Wake Up" a hangover tale and "Bad Heart" about the Baader- Meinhof gang, whose actions had a profound impact on the era and on a generation seeking extreme dissent. On the album you're now discovering, you can also hear five previously unreleased tracks recorded a bit later during an extended and freezing stay in Madrid, in a makeshift studio with the invaluable help of a drummer also acting as sound engineer. Here too, certain influences from the fifties and sixties (Link Wray, the Troggs) are more than obvious in the band's music.
But like most pioneering punk bands of the era, Guilty Razors eventually split up after three years.
Available on vinyl LP with pantone silver metallic cover and 6-page booklet and digipack CD with pantone silver metallic cover and 32-page booklet, with liner notes by Eric Tandy (Les Olivensteins) in French and English.
