It is, indeed. I don't have nearly enough Salem 66 -- only the debut 12" & first LP, I think -- & first learned about 'em in '84 when a correspondent of mine in Boston tagged (if memory serves) their demo onto the end of a cassette of a couple of radio shows by The Proletariat (probably my favorite U.S. band of that era). I was immediately taken. Plus, of course, they got extra points for covering Wire (probably my favorite band, period) before everybody & their dog started doing so ...

And yeah, I think Dolly Mixture stuff is really hard to find. I've got a CDR, but that's it.

Dan, now ruminating on his anarchopunk days & wondering about Rubella Ballet & Lost Cherrees, plus of course the Poison Girls ...



...and that's a shame about Salem 66. Looks like there's no Dolly Mixture in print these days either...

I narrowed our list down to 1975-1984 because that was the general time
period I intended when I created the listserv. I've been waffling on that
decision, but (in the end) I'm going to stand by it.<<

Salem 66 apparently formed in '82 & debuted with a 12" on Homestead in '84,
so I'd say they would definitley merit consideration ... *if* they had
anything in print. Unfortunately, that seems not to be the case.

Looks like Scrawl formed in '85, went into the studio for the first time in
'86, had their first release in '87. I'd say they miss the cut-off.
