Fu Manchu - The Covers LP

Even though I'm not into collecting vinyl or vynyl, I thought this was pretty cool. Fu Manchu are doing a limited release of all the covers they've done in the past on record. Originally, they were only available at their live shows, although I'm sure by now you can find it on-line. Fans of the band or cool covers albums should dig this...



Far as I know, it's not available on cd yet, so guys like me are sh*t outta luck. However, I do have the majority of these 14 tracks already. Still would be nice to have them all in one collection. And yes, the album jacket is a take-off of Fear's The Record...

I totally love their hardcore punk choices! Void, Black Flag, SS Decontrol, Circle Jerks - classics among classics! Also love the inclusion of Twisted Sister there!

The album looks cool and I bet it kicks major ass, love the cover tunes they chose, who in the hell is this Johns dude, never heard of him or his song "Chevy Van"

Don't be fooled though. I don't know how familair you are with the band, but they tend to strip down their choice of covers to a slow burn, adding lotsa fuzzy distortion and groove. They are a stoner band. I love 'em though.

Actually I am very familiar with Fu Manchu and own a big bunch of their records. In the beginning there was a distinct punk influence in their music so I think they will do well with those. And if they add the stoner groove - even better!

These are all previously released recordings. Most of 'em were either b-sides or Japanese-only bonus tracks and stuff like that. I'm pretty sure all of them can be found elsewhere. They're just compiled all together for the first time, similiar to the Foo Fighters Medium Rare release.

Looks like something to check out.

I want it!
