Album Description Quite possibly the first punk rock band. Who else wrote songs like "You're Full of Shit" in 1975? No one before, and perhaps since, exuded negativity, nihilism and despair so thoroughly and absurdly as Cleveland's Electric Eels. When their debut 45 "Agitated" was issued on Rough Trade in 1978, it was assumed by many that the group were contemporary (and German). Unlike previous compilations, the eyeball of hell includes the mighty original version. Many of the tracks are previously unreleased and all were mastered from the original tapes. Includes liner notes and art by founder John Morton as well as fellow Eels Brian McMahon and Paul Marotta. Also see our release "Those Were Different Times" which includes more great Eels, with no overlap in material. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsVrrrooom cole sconiers | Pace, Florida United States | 07/28/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "Yes this is good. EE rock, and it is good." GET AGITATED!!!!! Jared A. Auner | Denton, TX USA | 04/23/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "If ya ask me (and I know you didn't) the Electic Eels were the first true Punk Rock band. The Who, The Velvet Underground, and The Stooges all came earlier, lit the spark and provided the musical and cultural context for punk. The Ramones, Crime, and The Damned all came later and started the process of codifying this primitive music into a formal aesthetic. The Eels came in between, existing from 1972 to 1975 (they made these recordings during their final months together in that year)and existed seemingly to provoke and anger clevland audiences. Their shows were filled with violence, lawn equipment gone awry and off-key sung commercial jingles. This attitude plus the utter noisy viscousnes of their primitive attack makes them, in my mind, the primary candidate for "the first real punk rock band". Buy this as well as Scat's excellent comp. "Those were Different Times" which feature stuff not on this collection, but which you absolutely must hear. If you are interested in '70s punk or any kind of raw, original American music you NEED this. Pleasure yourself with your dollars and let this split apart your lonely mind."
