Flipside Tunes - Vinyl Fanzine Volume Three

Listening notes

Flipside Tunes - Vinyl Fanzine Volume Three was released in 1987 on Weird System (catalog number WS029). It is the third installment in a series connecting the Flipside fanzine to the vinyl format, extending the publication's reach beyond print and into the physical record medium that defined much of the underground music world it covered.

The record is cataloged under the genres of hardcore, indie rock, punk, and rock, a range that signals the breadth of the underground and independent scenes the Flipside fanzine engaged with during that period. The compilation spans twenty-two tracks across two sides, with the A-side carrying ten tracks and the B-side carrying twelve.

Track durations across both sides are notably compact. The A-side opens with "The Liar" at 2:05 and includes tracks such as "Straight Edge In Your Face" at 2:44 and "Living With The Bomb" at 3:31, with the longer selections "Second Chances" and "A Place" reaching just over four minutes and just under four minutes respectively. "First Recidue" and "Evicted" close the A-side, the latter running 4:17 and standing as the longest track on the record. The B-side follows a similar pattern of shorter runtimes, with most tracks falling between roughly one and a half and two and a half minutes. Track titles on the B-side include "Hot Rails To Hell," "Hate Your Friends," "Fortunate Son," "California Dreamin," and "Just Waiting (For The Civil War)," among others. The B-side closes with "Blue Funk Punk" at 2:35.

The total running time across both sides reflects the format conventions common to punk and hardcore releases of the era. No contributing artist or band credits are confirmed within the available data for this entry.
