Tales Of Terror from Sacramento, CA. Sacramento is 2 hours east of San Francisco and is directly down Hwy 80 to get there. Tales Of Terror were a popular band that played all the usual haunts around SF between 82-86 or so. This album came out on CD Presents and in my opion is a bonafide classic. Take The Stooges, some Black Flag, mix it with some Sonics and you get the idea here. Pre grunge???? Could be! Anyways this is not in print, and has never been put on cd or anything. Check this out and leave a comment!

Cool posting the wonderful Tales of Terror. Hey does anyone have the version of "Search & Destroy" that was on the cassette version of this? I have never heard it and would love to get a copy. It's the only song that was properly recoded (that I know of) that I haven't heard. Hook a brother up.
ReplyDeleteI though this album was amazing and so very underrated. Found out it was one of that Cobain guy's favourite albums and Green River even did a cover of the track "Ozzy". Definitely a huge influence on the Grunge.
ReplyDeleteI did I did, I lost it when my external crashed. I am after it too!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for leaving a comment!

If you happen to find it just give a holler, I'm so stoked to finally hear it. I had no idea until a few years ago that the cassette had another song. I was just listening to this again today and man it's just amazing!
