Basic Black - Envy The Dead (1990)


Corey Hamilton sent along a second Basic Black tape, so... here it is! This tape sees the band paring back to a threesome (we assume Randy Burton was off playing with the mighty Ded Souls by this time), but one that's no less powerful. Despite this pointedly negative review in VOX:


Please note also that there's a negative review of the Wheat Chiefs in here, along with a somewhat positive review of the Barenaked Ladies. Maybe they had been sniffing too much glue that month?

Or maybe they were just envious.

hey the track missing "Insect"

The tracks are mislabeled! Track 4 should be Insect. Our tape only has three tracks on the first side - but the j-card lists four?!
