Mr Nevinsip himself has granted me the honor of hosting this upload. If you havenÕt heard the story of how Bill and I met, well, its a good one. Sorry you missed it.
Anyway, I hadnÕt heard of Steel Tips until this tape showed up, but hereÕs what the Trouser Press said back in the day about them:
Ę
ŌUniversally ignored and/or abhorred during their existence, Steel Tips were one of the few punk bands in the late '70s to wallow in and lionize actual street-level violence, as opposed to costumes and makeup. At a time when sado shock was an easily marketable commodity, this New York group trafficked in genuine physical assault, attacking their jaded tuff punk audiences.Ķ
ThereÕs only two Steel Tips tracks here;
1. 96 Tears
2. Eastern Hagen, PA (IÕm guessing at this)
Then the radio show shifts to some tunes from Richard Hell and the Voidoids live:
3. Walking On Water
4. Staring In Her Eyes
5. Blank Generation
6. DJ Closing Segment
Quality is excellent and IÕll post some mp3 samples in the comments section.
