SUCK HARD December 1987

|
|

|
I GOT THE FEAR Winter 1988
|
|
|
|
Remix 12" Sweatbox SOX 023R (UK)
|
|
I Got The Fear (Titanium Mix) (5.52)
|
|
I Got The Fear (Without Jack) (6.00)
|
|
|
|
Engraved in the run-out grooves:
|
|
A Side - "Jack Your Body Son Fire"
|
|
B Side - "Suck A Little Bit Harder"
|
|
|
|
This single replaced SOX 023 (the SUCK HARD EP) in order to
|
|
showcase the new Meat Beat sound. The Titanium Mix is closest to
|
|
I Got The Fear Part 1 on Storm The Studio. At this point they
|
|
were still hyping the Armed Audio Warfare LP, because across the
|
|
top of the single's cover, it reads "A Preview Into The Ecstasy
|
|
Of Armed Audio Warfare."

|
|
BARK Spring 1988?
|
|
|
|
LP Sweatbox SAX 025 (UK)
|
|
|
|
Compilation album of Sweatbox artists. Features "Mister
|
|
President" and "Kneel And Buzz" by Meat Beat Manifesto. Also
|
|
contains "Beehead" by Perennial Divide, a band that Jack Dangers
|
|
was in before he started MBM.
|
|
|
|
>From the booklet:
|
|
|
|
A three headed beast with strongly defined ambition. Gregg (re-
|
|
animator) Retch, the sound system, a deck, a desk, and an ear for
|
|
the impure. Pirahna Jones, visuals, a choreographer, a video
|
|
director and a sight for the sound. Jack Dangers, the singer.
|
|
|
|
Their debut "Suck Hard" was a misunderstood Chrimbo release and
|
|
was deleted in the new year in favour of "I Got The Fear
|
|
(Titanium Mix)." An album "Armed Audio Warfare" was scheduled,
|
|
but destroyed in a fire before it reached the cut.
|
|
|
|
But the future is clear, "STRAP DOWN," a twelve inch single
|
|
released in May, a few alternative formats, a two pronged live
|
|
assault and a double take video set. The ambition is simple: the
|
|
balls in the mix, not necessarily in the band. The thrill in the
|
|
live show, not in the guitar solo. And any hype from an attitude,
|
|
not from a bank.

|
|
|
|
The listing on the back of the album has "Kick That Man" and
|
|
"Kneel And Buzz" switched. The above listing is correct.
|
|
|
|
Originally, the first Meat Beat album was to be called Armed
|
|
Audio Warfare, but the masters were mostly ruined in a fire at
|
|
their SoHo flat (the arsonists accidentally torched their studio
|
|
rather than the intended victims downstairs). They reused the
|
|
title for this release, but it consists of compilation tracks,
|
|
b-sides and other rarities. "Genocide" is the music for what
|
|
became "Psyche-Out" (LP mix) with lyrics from "God OD." "Give
|
|
Your Body Its Freedom" is the same as the versions on the _Strap
|
|
Down_ singles minus the opening 35 seconds. "Marrs Needs Women"
|
|
is somewhat different from "Mars Needs Women." The back of the
|
|
album contains a good account of what was released when and
|
|
where.

Videos:
|
|
|
|
I know of two videos currently available: "Strap Down" and "I Got
|
|
The Fear." The "Strap Down" video uses the version on the
|
|
original 12". The "Fear" video has a unique mix of the song,
|
|
halfway between the original Suck Hard version and the Titanium
|
|
Mix. Both videos are available for NTSC consumers on a Wax Trax
|
|
video compilation (Volume 2).
