Listening notes

Flipside Vinyl Fanzine Vol. 1 was released on Restless Records under catalog number 71099-1. The compilation spans the hardcore, punk, and rock genres and is presented on vinyl.

The record collects nineteen tracks across two sides. Side A opens with "Gigantor (Live Cleveland Agoura)" at two minutes and twenty-three seconds and moves through a range of material that includes "Religious Ripoff," "No One Is Ever Coming Home," "Question Of Intelligence," "Flossing With An E String," "Attack," "Meat Between The Treads," "Madhouse," "Suppose They Gave A War...," and "Me Three Bunch." Track durations on Side A vary considerably, from the eight-second "Meat Between The Treads" to the three-minute-thirty-eight-second "Suppose They Gave A War...," suggesting the compilation draws from acts working across different registers of the hardcore and punk spectrum.

Side B opens with "Fight" and continues through "In Eighty Four," "Warlords (Live On WERS FM Boston)," "Total Waste," "Master Race," "Domestic Battlefield," "Suburbia," "Big Women," and closes with "Give Me Fire (Live At Perkins Palace, Pasadena)." The tracklist includes at least three recordings identified as live: the opening track, "Warlords," captured from a Boston FM radio broadcast on WERS, and the closing track recorded at Perkins Palace in Pasadena. Duration information is not available for "Me Three Bunch" and "In Eighty Four."

The connection to Flipside, the Los Angeles-based punk fanzine, is suggested by the title, though no additional verified information about the relationship between the publication and this release is available here. A release year has not been confirmed for this record.
