<i>Vintage Violence: Barbaric, Crude &amp; Primitive 1975-1979 </i>is a selection of material Greg Prevost recorded with his past bands before forming the Chesterfield Kings. All demos, all previously unreleased, plus the Distorted Levels 7”, as well as four tracks (five on the CD format) recorded by early Chesterfield Kings line-ups from 1978-79. 

If you are a fan, you probably know that Greg Prevost played in different bands before forming the Chesterfield Kings. Only one of them, the Distorted Levels, released a 7" at the time, in 1978. But there were many more. You may have heard or read about mystery bands such as Mr Electro and The Void, The Cutdowns, Mr Electro and the Psychedelic Burnouts, etc. They all recorded profusely, but most master tapes eventually disappeared, in no less mysterious circumstances. Still, some recordings survived...and here you have a selection of this material: all demos, all previously unreleased, plus the Distorted Levels 7”, as well as four tracks (five on the CD format) recorded by early Chesterfield Kings line-ups from 1978-79. 

Gatefold sleeve, detailed track-by-track notes by Greg, including over 30 photos / press-clippings from his personal archive, and liner notes from Mike Stax (Ugly Things magazine), whose final verdict of this whole artefact could not be more exact: “Barbaric. Crude. Primitive. Beautiful".
