The STAR CLUB

[D77]

Been listening to a lot of Star Club recently. Got a few albums off of ebay: Live Hot & Cool, Hello New Punks, & Punk Punk Punk. Really great stuff, I plan on buying every Star Club record I come across now. ;D

The folks at 7inchpunk were nice enough to put 3 early EP's & 3 flexi discs on the site, the version of "Hello New Punks" is probably the best one. I also enjoyed the flexi version of "Anoko Ni Hitomebore" one of their earliest songs.

Does anyone have or has anyone seen the EP "Toll Gate Ahead" ? (aka Tool Gate Ahead) in lovely free digital format? Only copy I can find is on ebay for more than a hundred dollars if I recall. Maybe I'll buy it for myself for Xmas. Yeah right. I think it was a six track EP the only one I know is on it is the song "Goodbye Japanese Rockers."

Now the big question I have concerns a 4 track EP "Go To Hell" their earliest live recording. Does anyone have ANY info on it? Was this actually released in 1978? I have read here and there some conflicting things: never released? test pressing only? It's a flexi? Was this released as a flexi with an album?

Help, what the fuck is it?

never really liked the The Star Club. sorry, cant help you!

They had some good stuff. They did an Australian tour in '86 or so, y'know! Unfortunately I didn't see them play - I had no idea who they were. But I saw them walking down the street, they looked funny in their tight leopard-skin pants & RayBan sunnies ha ha... I thought "Who the fuck are these comedians?"

[Morinkashi]

how old were you when you saw them? like 5 or 10 years old?

[Stumblefuck]

I dunno, about 35...

Damn it I want to buy it but I wonder if the LP should have a OBI?

I prefer their 90s and early 2000s stuff to the earlier material.

I'd like to hear it all, great band in my opinion.

PS it's a nightmare to look for their stuff on ebay, there's a million listings for the other Star Club, the club in Germany!
