Oska!!! <3 fond memories there. I have the Mellow Fuzz tape if that happens to be one of them, at least I think I still have it

I knew, in 1994, that the day would come when I would regret not ordering more of the Oska catalog from Jon

that day is today

Just ordered one of my Holy Grails from Discogs.

The Bad Brains' second album, Rock For Light, is their greatest achievement on record, to my ear. I think it's even better than the "yellow tape." It was only in print on CD for a couple of years in 1986/7 on the tiny PVC label in the US and on the Line label in Germany. It was reissued by Caroline in 1991, but it was re-sequenced and sped up, so the songs were faster but HR's vocals were chipmunky and embarrassing. I've been trying to get a copy of either the PVC or the Line CD with the original mix for years, but have never had the money when one popped up.

Well, I just bought a very rare 2CD set from Line (again, I didn't even know this edition existed until about a week ago) that has the original mix of Rock For Light on Disc 1 and I Against I on Disc 2. $55 and worth every penny as far as I'm concerned.
