Avskum Crucified By The System Not On Label – 002 – 1984 – 7″ Glöm Aldrig Hiroshima

Avskum is a D-beat band from Kristinehamn that was inspired by bands like Anti-Cimex and DNA. Formed in 1982, but the band took a pause as from 1988 to 1995. The later due to: quote; the result of the search for a “new musical direction” was so horrible that we decided to give it all up. end quote.

This 6 song EP was a self-release. True originals sleeves have the second “C” in “CRUCIFIED” changed from S to C with Tipp-ex as the cover was misprinted as “CRUSIFIED”. Also the record shall have Matrix URAN 222 Aˈ LP LR/CR on the A-side. There is Belgian bootleg from the early 90’s and Prank records also made a re-issue in 1997.

Fold out sleeve with credits and lyrics printed on the inside.

Tuppjukk Jag Vill Må Bra EFMD Records – EFMD 1 – 1981 – 7″ Jag Vill Må Bra

A little pearl from the suburbs of Stockholm. Tuppjukk was a short lived trio that did punk rock their own, made some 10 local gigs and released their own record (300 copies). They also formed the organization EFMD (translated into – United Front Against Disco). As a label they also released the excellent ABKK “Ronny” 7″. This record has two short and fast punk songs. If you listen to it you realize why the collectors want this record.

Gollywog Fredagskväll / Hitten Not On Label – GWS 7801 – 1978 – 7″ Fredagskväll

This is one release that I know absolutely nothing about. The record is from KBD Martin’s collection. Good I have the book Ny Våg – Svensk Punk / New Wave / Synth 1977-1982 by Peter Kagerland; Here I read that the band was from Tranås and was headed by Håkan Schüler (vox & guitar) and the members were inspired by the first wave of American and UK punk bands. The record was pressed in 300 copies. After Gollywog quit, Håkan moved over to Nässjö-based Rottweiler.

Skäms Konfirmationen Ny Betong – NB 01 – 1979- 7″ Discoglin

This is a really good and solid punk record that many are looking for. It was hard to pick a song as all are good. Pressed in 500 copies (disputed). Skäms was from Kristinehamn and only made this release. The band members split the records between them to design their own sleeves. Of that reason there are three sleeves. The Mona Lisa sleeve is most common followed by the band sleeve and finally the Solider Sleeve which was only made in 30 copies. The rating is for the most common sleeve (Mona Lisa) …[more]

Fold out sleeve. Note that the middle sleeve below is the mid 90’s Xerox and not the 1979 Xerox. The print and paper is slightly different.

Regerings Stödda Mord Not On Label – 001 – 1984 – 7″ Regerings Stödda Mord

Another great early Gothenburg hardcore band – active at the same time as Anti-Cimex and Mob 47. An overall excellent EP that is on the want list for collectors of hardcore. They made a second EP, Dömd, which is also quite hard to find complete (with the sticker). The sleeve on this release is in two pieces of paper and the record has white labels. There is bootleg out also. The original record has matrix TLA – 001 – A TX.84 on side A. I heard that 1,000 copies where pressed of this release, but it seems a little high. There is a 2012 re-issue from Voltage Records as well…[more]

Anti Cimex Raped Ass A Records – 001 – 1983- 7″ Raped Ass

Yeah – there are two Anti-Cimex records on on the list. The A-record release of Raped Ass was pressed in 1,200 copies making it one of the largest presses on this list. However – being the pioneers of Swedish D-beat – there are a lot of international collectors who are looking for this record. Also – it came in a thick pocket sleeve without inner sleeve – which means that it hard to find a good EX copy as they vinyl got worn as the record was pulled out and put back in that hard sleeve. Raped Ass was also released on Hardcore Horror Records (clear vinyl) in 1986 and also by Really Fast Records. All these released are hard to come by. On top of that there are some tour sleeve versions that are very rare. Some of them will be presented in the appendix below. And finally … for the real collector nerds. It exist one copy of this record with a large center hole.

The images and sound clip is stolen from Bad Good Music as I could not locate my copy. (March 2013 – Found it !!!)

Shit Kids Jag Måste Ha Ett Jobb Viboquette – EVQ 090401 – 1979- 7″ Frösö Sjukhus 1984

The first EP by Shit Kids, from Östersund in Sweden. In December 1978 the EP Jag Måste Ha Ett Jobb (I need to get a job) was recorded and the record was released in 1979. It became an instant local cult record and we love it. Some copies came with and insert is hard to come by. The points are for a complete copy with insert (copies without the insert is still worth 10 points). The band made a second EP as well…[more]

Huvudtvätt / Picnic Boys Split Massproduktion – MASS Z-16 – 1981 – 7″ – Huvudtvätt sleeve Smutsig Byk / Huvudtvätt

When the two brothers Mats and Torulf Nilsson moved from Sundsvall to Linköping it was not possible to continue with their old band, Massmedia. Mats were very much influenced by the American hardcore scene and Huvudtvätt / Headcleaners was formed. As a band they only made one gig but they were active recording and making records. The EP “Disinfection” (5 presses with different sleeves) was with English lyrics (as Headcleaners). This release is a split with Picnic Boys and was totally pressed in 600 copies split into two sleeves (Huvudtvätt sleeve and Picnic Boys sleeve), all numbered. The Picnic sleeve is also considerd very rare and command more or less similar points. The band also made a compilation EP (ExtremP) with this EP on one side and the A-side of the Disinfection on the other side (there are 4 different presses of ExttremP). Both the first Disinfection and the first ExtermP are also +10 points records. Finally they made an EP on Xcentric Noise Records in 1983. The band had at least 4 different singers during their 4 years of existence. The editor of this site is a big fan of Huvudtvätt and all seven inch releases can be viewed [here]

The sleeve is glossy and is folded over the record.

Missbrukarna / Panik Split Forsaljud – FOLS 12 – 1980 – 7″ Du Är Inte Du

When I (the editor) and KBD Martin listed the top three records on this list we noted that we both had this one the list. This EP is a split with Missbrukarna / Panik, both from Hudiksvall. It was pressed in 1,000 copies and many in the collector community are looking for this split and I guess find the Missbrukarna side most attractive. Missbrukarna also made a killer tape in 1983 that I still play regularly. Missbrukarna have also made a compilation LP. To command top price the slightly oversized sleeve needs to be in EX condition and it has to be one of the 100 copies that had the insert. Otherwise is less than 10 points. “Zooma in en Zombie” …[more]

Desperate Livin’ Stilla Natt Desperate Records – CTR1081 – 1981- 7″ Stilla Natt

Desperate Livin’ was a short lived band from Stockholm and they made their gigs in the Stockholm region. This EP has 4 great songs and Stilla Natt is a really great proto-hardcore tune. I don’t know what happened with the members after the band quit. I have heard that they preferred they demo-tape that made. I would love to hear that. This record was pressed in 300 copies and to command full points the insert must be included….[more]

The insert came in various colors

Besökarna Demo (Correct press) Heartwork Records – HW 14 – 1980- 7″ Discobranden

There are two versions of this release but the one that command high points is the the version that the songs Kamikaze / Discobranden / Tågbangården on the label and these songs on the record as well. Only 50 copies of the correct pressed release exist and it’s this release that command the high points. These copies has matrix HW14 A CR (A-side) and HW 14 B CR (B-side).

There was also a mispress with the song Chock instead of Discobranden. They are relative common. These copies has matrix 14 A CR on the A-side and HW-14-B3-CR on the B-side. The Kamikaze is the same version but there are two different takes for Tågbangården which that also is 30 seconds longer compared to the correct press..

Not issued with picture sleeve, but a stamped jacket should be included (see picture). Both records above have PD carved and GP-1 stamped on the run-out area.

Kitchen & The Plastic Spooon’s Serve You! Kitchooons Plastics – IK 001 – 1980- 7″ Happy Funeral

Kitchen and the Plastic Spoon’s was a synthesizer based punk band from Stockholm with members from Psycho and Porno Pop. A few gigs was made but in 1981 some members left and the band reformed into Kitchen and somewhat changed their sound. This 7″ was pressed in 300 copies. The sleeve came in the following colors: Red, beige, white, green and yellow. It was also released later the same year with another sleeve which you can see here. I don’t know if that was a re-press or not. On top of this, they also made a testpress of this release with 4 songs but decided to go for a 2 song record instead.

PF Commando Svenne Pop Comm Records – COMM PF 1 – 1978- 7″ Raggare

PF Commando was the first punk band out of Gävle (about 2 hours car drive north of Stockholm). As a band they influenced the local punk scene. On top of that there was a cheap studio in Hille where a lot of local bands made recordings. This excellent release was pressed in 365 copies. It holds two songs in Swedish and one in English. PF Commando later made the first self-released LP in 1979 (Manipulerade Mongon) which is given in any serious Swedish punk collection.

The only available information we have on alternative sleeve is that 4 sleeves was made which had parts the live picture from the later released album glued on the sleeve. This sleeve was sold at Skivbutiken in Gävle in conjunction of the release of the LP. We have not added them to the appendix as we can’t fully link them to the band. This sleeve is a glued pocket sleeve but a few fold out sleeves are in circulation as well.

Åminne Punkfiesta Compilation Åminne Räckårds – SKLP 002 – 1981- LP Vanvett – Kurts Klagoord

Compilation records are normally not in the focus of collectors. Here is a great one however. Åminne Punkfiesta is a compilation LP from Värnamo in Sweden. For most bands this was the only official recording. Its unclear how many copies was made but it have to be very few as this record rarely shows up.

Tracklist: 1 Nu Är Det Slut with AKUPUNKTUR, 2 Nollställning with MAHATMA POP, 3 Barn I Bland with TVÄRTOM, 4 Liv Eller Död with ABSTRAKT, 5 Kurts Klagoord with VANVETT, 6 Hr Andersson with TVÄRTOM, 7 Släng Ditt Våpen with ABSTRAKT, 8 Pansarvagn with MAHATMA POP, 9 Värnamo Stad – AKUPUNKTUR, 10 Arbetarblues with VANVETT, 11 Ensam with MONO

The Moderns The Year Of Today Not On Label – EUEP 010 – 1979- 7″ The Year of Today

Well – maybe not punk, but a great mod / power pop EP with a band that played on the same shows as the first generation of punk bands. According to us – this record deserves to be on the list. Moderns from Malmö was both inspired by the Who and the Jam and this is their debut (self-released) EP, pressed in 500 copies. They did not only do gigs in Sweden, but managed to make a successful UK tour. If you liked it check out the KBD Records post to listen to the whole record.

Kriminella Gitarrer Vårdad Klädsel Kloaak – MPGK 001 – 1978- 7″ Vårdad klädsel

The debate which was the first Swedish punk record will be an endless event. In our view this record was the first with a true punk sound. Kriminella Gitarrer (Translation – Criminal Guitars) from Klippan was formed in 1977 and made a four channel recording in January 1978 and the record, in mono, was released in February the same year. It was pressed in 500 copies and the sleeves were done with a professional xerox machine. The line up was Stry Terrarie (later Besökarna, Ebba Grön and Imperiet), Sticky Bomb (later Torsson and Wilmer X), Affe and Mats. The full story is here (in Swedish)

The title song “Vårdad Klädsel” is a reference to the expected dress code for the “dance-restaurants” that were common in Sweden in these days. The band is pictured outside one of them on the front picture sleeve.

There are two sleeve versions for this record and the most common is pictured here, while the rarer version is in the appendix below. The sleeve is a fold out sleeve.

Bizex-B En Våldtäkt I Vinyl Rebel Records – RLP 002 – 1983 – LP Gävle Spelar Bara Jazz

Of the middle sized Swedish cities, Gävle had a lot of punk bands. First of was PF Commando, a band that inspired Bizex-B to form a band in 1980. First the band made a demo tape in 1981 but instead like other making seven inch records, Bizex-B made two LP’s. The first one was “Vi Lever” from 1982 which has a quite proto-hardcore sound. It was followed by “En Våldtäkt I Vinyl” (A rape on vinyl) in 1983. At this time the band had a slower beat.

The name Bizex-B is a joke with the dance-band Wisex. They played mainly in the region as the vocalist, Sluggo Pop, did not like to travel. They stopped playing due to mildly said “difference in religious views”, but are now active again. This record was pressed in 300 copies. These were stored in a shed which burnt down so only 100 records survived, explaining why it’s so rare.

The record has either white labels or orange labels (with track list). At least one copy has Njurmännen labels. A few sleeves are black and white. The paper is glossy.

Skitslickers GBG 1982 Not On Label – SL – 8206 – 1982 – 7″ Warsystem

The first and most mythical Swedish D-beat band, recorded already in 1982. The very specific guitar sound was created by pushing a syringe through the speakers in the amps. The title GBG is acronym for Gothenburg. A must-have for any serious collector of hardcore punk and it’s the editor’s favorite record on this list…[more]

The record has white label. There is a bootleg circulating as well.

Absurd Blodig Stad Bullshit Recordz – 002 – 1983- 7″ Statens Maktspel

When Absurd started to play hardcore in Gothenburg in 1982 they did not get to much respect. However, they went into the studio and magic happened. To everyone surprise they spit out this hardcore burner. I think the sound is quite unique compared to the d-beat band that came at the same time. The band was relative short lived band and quit in 1983. In 1993 Absurd did a reunion for the Gothenburg hardcore CD. The vocalist Måns had at that time become a priest and did the gig in his leather stud jacket and his priest collar tab. As the original bass player was not interested in a reunion Måns brought is priest colleague to play the bass. Those who made the show are lucky dudes …[more]

The record is a white label. Matrix is SL – 8211 – A LR/CR. An insert should be included to get full points.

TST Vås Punx TST Records – 001 – 1980- 7″ Väktarnas Värld

T.S.T. is an abbreviation of The Shock Treatment, a flirt with the Ramones. T.S.T was from Västerås (Vås in the title). This 4 song EP was brutal stuff in 1980 and was self-released record that was pressed only in 300 copies. It always used to quite rare here in Sweden, but as the international hardcore collectors learned about it the price went up to the sky. So those of you who bought in cheap some years ago should smile now. TST later cut an LP and two 12 inch as well.

The sleeve is printed pocket sleeve.

Homy Hogs Nöje För Nekrofiler No Records – HH 1- 1981- LP – Single Sided (When The) Butcherman (Is Smelling A Hog-Cunt)

Notorious (at least locally) and cartoonish punk, proto-hardcore band from Bro outside Stockholm. This record was pressed in 150 to 200 copies.

Correcting earlier text – Some copies comes with stamped labels, according to the band the records was stamped random meaning that there are no release order that can be retrieved by stamped or non-stamped labels.

The sleeve is a plain white sleeve with the artwork paper glued onto it. [More]

Ebba Grön Antirock Efel – SEF 7840 – 1978- 7″ Profit

In Sweden I don’t know about anyone who hasn’t heard about Ebba Grön. For those of you that are completely illiterate of Swedish punk here is the short story: The band was formed in Rågsved (Southern Stockholm) by Joakim Thåström (Pimme), Fjodor and Gurra in 1978. They made 3 LP’s and moved from underground to mainstream. Later Stry from (Kriminella Gitarrer, Besökarna etc) joined. In 1983 the band decided to quit, Fjodor decided to do something else and the other continued with Rymdimperiet, later Imperiet.

This record was recorded in 3 hours and was self-financed by the band. Apparently they were not completely sober during the recording despite starting 9 o’clock in the morning. With pictures taken in a coin photo-machine a sleeve was made. It was pressed in 200 copies with black sleeve and 300 copies with blue sleeve. The black is considered the first sleeve. The rating is for the black sleeve. A re-issue was later done on Mistlur Records. There are two kick-ass punk songs (Profit / Ung & Sänkt)- enjoy!!!

The images are from the web. The audio rip is from the Mistlur press.

Anti-Cimex Anarkist Attack Bullshit Recordz – BULLSHIT 001- 1982 – 7″ Svaveldioxid

Anti-Cimex is the most sought Swedish hardcore band among the international hardcore collecting community. First based in Skövde this Discharge influenced primitive d-beat band put out the first EP in 1982. The EP has four songs and it is quite primitive hardcore. It’s the only Anti-Cimex release where Nillen did the singing. What make it so rare is that (for EX condition) is that the fold-over sleeve didn’t come out right as the front and the back are not aligned (the back sleeve was at a 90° angle compared to the front sleeve), so the band/label (and fans too) cut them out so a one-piece sleeve is hard to come by. A cut sleeve whatever nice condition can never be graded higher than VG. However – even split-sleeve command top points. This release was pressed in 500 copies but it’s still hard to find.

The insert is in size A4.

Bad Boo Band Knulla I Bangkok Bad Productions – GB-7210 – 1979 – 7″ Knulla i Bangkok

Few have heard, and less has seen Bad Boo Band from Hedemora. This record was made without having played the songs live. Most sources mention 150 copies and other 300. I myself believe the first due to the fact it never shows up. The title song translates into “Fucking in Bangkok” and is a critic of prostitution. There is no picture sleeve. The band releases a second seven-inch but had stopped playing that time. [more]

Shas Thinner lemaj Skivor – IEMAJ-003 – 1980 – 7″ Thinner

Shas was a short lived punk band from Åsa. They played 77-punk at a time when everyone started to play harder punk. They mainly did local gigs and a show with GLO in Southern Sweden. A gig for the local radio station was done as well. It’s unclear how many copies was pressed but after selling a few records the band went to a bridge and used the remaining EP as frisbees. This explains the few copies that circulate among collectors. There are 4 songs on this EP of which one is more ska than punk. By the way – it’s KBD Martins favorite release on this list.

The sleeve is a glued pocket sleeve.

Kessler Jugend GmbH was from Stockholm had played together some years before this and the previous record Shoot’zem (On The Spot) / Vistrohajre (For A New Germany) came out. Some awesome tunes and a very small release. Most sources mention 150 to 200 copies. The song “Ge Fan i Moppen, Hej” is based on a true event as the band (under the influence of alcohol) stole/borrowed a moped …[more]

The sleeve comes in two pieces. The paper is thin. The labels are glued on the white labels from the pressing. This record was also release under the band name “Dödgrävarakademin”

Kessler Jugend G.m.b.H. Shoot’zem (On The Spot) / Vistrohajre (For A New Germany) Golden Shower Records – KJ 1 – 1983 – 7″ Shoot’zem (On The Spot)

A quite avant-garde version of punk with strange lyrics with references German Nazis?. First time I heard and saw this record on the web I thought it was some kind of a prank record by some students in either Lund or Uppsala. However – the band is from Stockholm and their second seven inch (above) is good. The full meaning of this record however is buried with the members. Anyhow – it’s very rare (and it extremely rare that I play it) – and stuff like that get’s the collector scum going…

This release comes with a wrap-around sleeve. The record (not pictured) is white label. My copy has no writing on the label.

57 Kez Punks Rockslaget – ROSLA 1 – 1980 – 7″ – Glued Sleeve Punks

Punk act from Southern Sweden; started by some really young kids. Only 150 to 200 copies were made. On top of that most records were thrown to the audience during the concert. What makes it even rarer is that there are two main sleeve versions, the glued pocket sleeve (slightly oversized) considered be the first. Finding a copy in EX condition is hard…[More].

The second sleeve version is two pieces of paper. Two various pink shades exists.

Framför Flötet Tro Inte På Allt Du Läser / Vemod Not On label – FF-S-1 – 1983- 7″ Single Sided Tro Inte på Allt Du Läser / Vemod

Possible the most mythical record and much disputed if it even existed. For many collectors it showed up the first time in Peter Jandreus book from 2008. The band name is a joke with an expression of being stupid and the first songs actually means “Don’t believe everything you read”. With that background several collectors though that Peter was pulling a prank. On top of it all the re-issue was released on April Fools Day in 2012.

Interviewing the author, Peter Jandreus, he told us that the met one member by co-incidence on holiday abroad and got a copy. It was a short lived band that worked in the mine in Kiruna in Northern Sweden and pulled together a punk band for a few months. The press must have been very small, either a larger test press or a promo-press. Few copies have surfaced. We have been in contact with the label that made the re-issue in 2012 but have not received any answers on the original release. The owner of the record pictured here was told that the record was given away on a private party (second source). As said – very little is know. Original records has matrix FF-S-1.

Of the two copies of the original release we know about one have a large center hole and the other a small center hole (pictured here). The audio clip above is from the re-press.

Any condition. Drop a comment if you have anything for sale.

Vicious Vision I Beat You / No No’s Not On label – NM-001 – 1983- 7″ I Beat You

For sure the holy grail for any collector of Swedish punk. Vicious Visions was a two man band from Halmstad but the members moved later to Berlin and took part of that scene. This industry-punk single was released in only 109 copies and it’s great. As with most rare records it never shows up on any on-line auction. Most copies are traded within the collector community. [more]

There are some copies with misprinted cover giving it a psychedelic design. 15 test-presses were made as well according to the band. There is no insert with this release. The front and rear sleeve look the same.

Rare sleeve versions, misprints and testpresses / acetates that never made it to an official release. All these records are ranked at least ten points or more.

We have limited this list to releases from 1992 or earlier. The reason is that after this year, some labels more or less systematically started to make super limited editions. adding those would make this list endless.

It is important that rare items have a strong provenance, certainly for sleeve versions. It should be noted that collectors are very suspicious when “new” rare sleeves are discovered. Without provenance these sleeves are often considered to be fakes and therefore worthless and not collectable.

We have focused mainly on pre 1987 releases and earlier, but we have a long list of 1987 to 1992 releases to be updated when we got more time. If you know something more …drop us a comment below.

An Acetate (also lacquer disc or master disc) is the “record” where the grooves are cut from the master tape. From that a stamper tool is made which later is used to press the actual vinyl record. The test press is a short run press which often is returned to the label to check the sound quality and that it is actually the correct recording

However – they made sure that a test press was made as payment was not expected until the real records were presses. Quite smart, quite punk. Of the four testpresses one is for sure damaged when one of the members became Hare Krishna. Two records are with collectors and the last one … no one knows. Monarki was on the Killed By Death 51 compilation. The rumor is that the B-side is even greater than the A-side but the owners are keeping the secret how the song sounds for themselves.

Another messy release with uncertain facts. What we know is that Hardcore Horror Records pressed between 300 and 333 records. The pressing was made by Grammoplast in Spånga the same year. Of these copies the majority have a Xerox cover which is pictured [here]. For the Anti-Cimex / Agoni UK tour in 1986 Sebastian Todor took a band picture (now with 5 members) and some 80 – 90 sleeves were made based on this picture. The front and rear sleeve is pictured [here]. Finally – to make it more messy. 10 sleeves were made with an image of one band member or each band member. We found one picture [here] with Jonsson pictured. The main source for this information is the Shit-Fi web-site and a couple of hard-core collectors.
