No Fun - No Fun (1978)


Artist(s): No Fun
Title: No Fun
Format: 7"
Year: 1978
Label/Catalog: Werewolf T-Shirts WTSF 1

After TIM RAY's debut single in late 1977, this is the first Vancouver "punk" 7" of any note. The following month D.O.A. would release their Disco Sucks EP and the rest is more widely known history from there. Though not technically a "Vancouver band" (they were from Surrey?, can't recall right now), they played in the city enough to get them a spot on the infamous Vancouver Complication compilation that would come out the following year on Pinned Records. More info on NO FUN, TIM RAY/AV, D.O.A., the Vancouver Complication and early Vancouver punk in general here.

Another 34 year old Vancover punk record. Some stray ticks and pops throughout, most of the major ones were manually removed. The rest remained to preserve audio quality. There's still a potential to really spend a lot of time manually removing all of them, but I think most people will just be happy to have this classic gem. Plus, I bet you've never heard a sixteen-and-a-half minute 7" before, hey?
