Hysteria - Plymouth Sound Studio Demo (1982)

My sister will kill me for this but sod it. This is the first and I'm pretty sure the only Hysteria demo ever put onto tape and has been kindly converted into mp3 format by my mate Graham who also did the artwork. Cheers mate,you really are a star for doing this one.


For those who don't already know, Hysteria were a punk/goth band from Plymouth. Their first stint on vinyl was two tracks on the Life Is A Joke Volume One compilation which you can get over at Curious Guy's excellent http://systemsabotagechaos.blogspot.com/search?q=Life+Is+A+Joke followed by the Behind The Veil EP which is over at Highlanders equally excellent http://cactusmouthinformer.blogspot.com/search?q=Hysteria


The 3 tracks on this demo have never been released on record and have never before been available on the internet (until now) As its not my work,you even get 320kbp quality as well (for a change)

On I nearly forgot, thats Chris,my Brother In Law on the left. Chris was in Mascara and their record is also on this site. Chris and Caroline have been together for over 25 years now and have identical twin girls aged 10 (Kira and Freya) who are both budding musicans.


Edit: You can now read the Zig Zag Mick Mercer interview with Hysteria due to the kindness of Highlander over at Cactus Mouth Informer. Thanks again for this Highlander! https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsXlluiK3HhM9BOWSSCIEueX_fsU7Ysv4tA-nK890oVu8L_wrII4efWZnqhVV62IcIf-KghS0PVWMkMm_3MEeFMAhEK5SNAEls56GPgVj9pNe6vFt-t57dJvOBppfYApeGMXC3voOC1Mff/s1600-h/ZZ+Sep+84+p42.jpg

Longy said...

There you go louissyfer. This is Highlanders rip though (Cactus Mouth Informers) not mine. I have chucked in some of my usual dodgy artwork to add to his superb rip.

if someone had told me track 1 was the banshees i would have believed them

frederick said...

wow. and me stuck up in brixton with my banshees badges, too young to go into the city (1982 - guess this makes me old, huh?) Fits in well with drowning craze, great stuff.
cheers Longy
