Protest (3)
Vinyl Overload

Listening notes

Protest (3) released Vinyl Overload in 1984 on XCentric Noise Records, cataloged as Fourth 1. The release is a vinyl format recording that falls within the genres of Oi, punk, and rock.

The record contains three tracks spread across two sides. The A-side holds a single track, "Hypnotic State," while the B-side carries two: "Oppressed" and "B2: Troubles." No duration information is available for any of the three tracks.

Beyond what the release data itself confirms, little additional detail can be verified here. The label name, XCentric Noise Records, and the catalog number Fourth 1 are the identifiers attached to this pressing. The year 1984 places it within a period when Oi and punk were active and visible in certain underground and street-level music communities, though no specific claims about this release's place within those scenes can be drawn from the available facts alone.

Collectors and researchers encountering this entry should treat the genre tags — Oi, punk, and rock — as classification markers rather than descriptive verdicts, since no verified source material here supports further characterization of the music itself. Similarly, personnel, recording details, and any information about pressings or variants are absent from the confirmed data and have not been assumed or supplemented.

This is a lean but honest entry. What is known is noted: a three-track vinyl release from 1984, on XCentric Noise Records, catalog Fourth 1, by the artist identified in databases as Protest (3). Researchers with access to the physical object or contemporaneous documentation are encouraged to verify and expand upon this foundation.
