Second press of 500 as black vinyl +sticker. -SOLD OUT - Side
A: 1-9 from sold out "Tippa Tappaa" 7"EP (1991), 10-11
unreleased out takes from the same sessions and 12-14 rehearsal tracks
(1991). Maximumrocknroll #234: "Limited to 500, this long player compiles the complete works of this rather obscure but brilliant Finnish SXE band from the early 90s – but don’t let the edge scare you away, ‘cause this has much more in common with the likes of your Finnish heroes like APPENDIX, TERVEET KÄDET, or RATTUS than it does with such jocks as YOUTH OF TODAY, TEN YARD FIGHT, or JUDGE. Like many of the classic Finnish bands they combine hectic, urgent, yet melodic guitar work with total bleeding throat vocals and charging bull drums, making them required listening in my opinion. This record compiles both of their EPs, the demo from ’92, rehearsal tracks, and out takes from studio recordings, 30 tracks in total! Totally amazing, original and powerful stuff. Get to work kids cause these won’t last long. -Mike Thorn" Profane Existence #40: "I have long left that Sairaat Mielet was one of the most under rated hardcore bands ever. Sairaat Mielet were from Finland in the late 80's and early 90's. They were playing militant SE hardcore before it was cool to be militant and SE in the scene that is the drunkest on earth. But they dressed in traditional punk style with big mohawks and studded jackets. Musically they were one of the fastest, most technical, yet incredibly catchy and powerful HC bands ever. The material from the Tippa Tappa EP especially is super fast yet full of layered and complex changes in rhythm with some sick back up vocals. This record floored me when I first got it in the early 90's and I've been expounding it's merits to who ever would listen ever since. Finally, a re issue has come to the fore in the shape of this LP with both 7"s and some unreleased live and demo material. The core of this LP is the Tippa Tappa 7", but the rest is pretty bad ass well. You can see the direction they were headed and it all came together on Tippa Tappa. This record is essential document of one of the most raging and unique HC bands ever. Highly recommended. (Felix)" Chambers Magazine: "Kun kuulin että tulossa oli kokoelma THE sXe bändiltä, en voinut olla innostumatta, sillä kyseessähän on kuitenkin lahtibändi nimeltä Sairaat mielet. Levyltä löytyy legendaariset ''Tippa Tappaa'' ja ''Punk On Paskaa'' -ep:t sekä bonuksena ennenjulkaisematonta matskua ja treeninauhaa joista löytyy myös kipale ''Nyt Ei Leikitä, Nyt Tapetaan''. Levy on hyvä retrospektiivi S.M:n tuotannosta ja ideanahan on teknisesti soitettua viinan, tupakan ja huumeiden vastaista hardcore-punkkia. Henk.koht. suosikkini on Tippa Tappaa -ep, joka on sellaista turpaanvetoa että ihan tässä grogit läikkyy. B-puoli on sitten sitä ns. lopunajan tuotantoa, joka ei ihan samalla tavalla aukene, mutta kyllä niistäkin Sairaat Mielet tunnisti. Jos haluaa tutustua kotimaiseen VANHAN KOULUN sXe-punkkiin, niin tämä lätty on ns. must-hankinta ja sitäpaitsi kyllähän nää poijjaat soittaa suohon tommoset perusheviurpot ihan milloin vaan. Kulttibändi jota oli aikanaan punkpiireissä muotia vihata, kyllä toimii kun junan vessa!!!! PUNK ON PASKAA! -Antti Vedenpää" |
