Blast First! 1987. BFFP19
More hateful bile from Steve Albini today, but what wonderful bile this is. No subject is taboo which makes for uncomfortable listening – I’m not going to list them here, you’ll just have to listen out for the nasties yourself. Musically it’s equally uncomfortable, with an aggressive, almost tinny sound but with monstrous guitar work which is like nothing else. I’ve said before that I never really liked their drum machine, but on this, their last album, it seems to fit better with the band than it ever had before.
It is amazing that this is unavailable. Where is the deluxe expanded version and the 180g vinyl re-issue? I guess Mr Albini isn’t into such things and I can’t imagine he either needs or wants the money.

I think it is still strange there is no re-issue. Maybe Albini doesn’t need the money, but I’m sure he would love new-young audience to get to know his music.
I haven’t heard this for about 25 years, so I’m curious…
Try again – it’s still there.
When I log on it says they’re doing hardware maintenance, so I guess it’s because of that. There have been a few problems with other files too, but still getting loads of downloads logged, so it doesn’t do it all the time. Leave it a few days and try again.
I keep getting the same error messages. Sucks because I really want to get this.
The file is still there – hopefully Ultramegabit will finish their maintenance at some point and it’ll be downloadable. Unfortunately I have no time to do anything about it till January if they don’t get their act together.
It’s available. i just bought a new copy myself. Steve and Bob Weston remastered the entire Big Black catalog and T&G ans keeping them all in print. Some titles aren’t out yet but SAF and Bulldozer definitely are.
Could you post a link? Touch & Go’s web site says it’s not available and Amazon don’t have it.
I’ll delete my file if it’s been re-released, but I can’t find any evidence that it has.
