Repress of 500 copies on black vinyl! Short sonic blasts of teen angst at breakneck velocity - Canada's Neos, from Victoria, BC, were pioneers of hyper-speed-punk at the dawn of hardcore. With profound lyrics, humour, bizarre arrangements, and general insanity, Neos inspired thrash metal, grindcore, noisecore, and hardcore punk itself. The complete Neos collection (1981-83) includes both rare EPs, outtakes, demos, and live cuts: 51 songs in 48 minutes from original sources, meticulously remastered. Includes 24 page booklet with 22,000-word bio by Steve Bailey (guitar/vocals) + lyrics, 75+ photos, posters, art and more. "Possibly the fastest thrash garage punk ever recorded" - Jeff Bale, MRR #1, 1982
