REPOST Request: What I wrote before: So dearly I do love this punk band--very much a part of my formulative high school years. Originally I posted the album rip (cover is 1/500 of splatter painting they did of the 'Pancakes' LP) long ago and got the CD bonus tracks later. A real treat!

ReplyDeleteA mega-obscurity! I used to have their pre-LP demo "Strawberry Enema". Anyone know anything about it? A cursory listen to the downloaded album makes me think some of the tracks are the same (23 years later, that is...). Thanks for posting

Wow, never heard of that demo. But they re-released this limited pressing LP as a CD a few years back with lots of bonus songs that probably were the demo tracks.

Thanks for this. I didn't know this exsisted. I've owned their album "All The Pancakes You Can Eat" for twenty years.

I'm right with you on the baby astros. I reviewed their Lp for Option back in the day, I was so enthusiastic about them and the cool cover idea that I got in touch. I picked up a couple of earlier cassette releases. Nice to know I'm not the only one who remembers and loves this band. Wish I could let them know, hope they're doing okay.

Thanks for the comment rev. b maybe a tape is the demo I seek?? would love to hear it, or rip it and return it, or send you a freeware package to convert it yourself to first WAV then MP3, I could just post it for you on zippy--not very much MB size.

of course you would also need a $5 RCA cable red and white split to single input from Best Buy then a $15 pre-amp from Guitar Center or somewhere.

I have the album on vinyl, as it was played on the college radio when I was in college. I will definitely download the demo. Thanks.

Right there with you on the infant Atros. Back when I was writing for Option I was sent the Pancakes lp to review. Between the music and the handmade cover, I was am immediate fan. I contacted them and got a copy of the tape too. Wonder what became of them. One of the better bands I came across then. Thanks for posting these.

Thanks for the post! I just noticed that the first Baby Astronauts tape "A is for Anarchy" is on Archive.org, along with Strawberry Enema (in a much hissier rip than yours). https://archive.org/details/BabyAstronauts
Does anyone know what the tracklist for that tape is?

I just downloaded the MP3. I will take home and cut up the tracks then I may know one or two from the later period CD with bonus tracks that I have posted here.
Thanks again.
