Blast - Damned Flame / Hope 7"

Legendary Belgian 7” from 1973. Bursting out of the post-hippie era with a style no one had heard yet. Some collectors have said this sounds like accidental hardcore, and the drums do bear a similarity to Discharge, but really this is just awesome, fast, and totally unique proto punk channeling the raw sounds of the Stooges and the filthiest rock that slipped through the cracks of the psychedelic 60s. This was reissued about a decade ago, with even those reissues fetching high prices, this issue is very welcome, and comes with an expanded insert of photos and liner notes. Highly Recommended!
