First Songs (DEEP PURPLE VINYL)

Opening with the sleeve art: the cover photo is perfectly gritty, just like the band's sound. The vinyl itself plays dead quiet between tracks, which lets those jagged basslines really cut through. A must for any fan of early feminist punk.

The vinyl pressing captures that raw, lo-fi energy perfectly, and the gatefold sleeve includes a cool insert with the original punk zine artwork. It’s exactly the kind of gritty, feminist art-punk sound I was hoping for.

I was pleasantly surprised by the crisp, raw energy of the recording — it captures that late-70s Swiss punk scene perfectly. The vinyl itself feels solid and plays without any surface noise, even on my older turntable.
