Melvins - Tanks - Peel Session 03.10.91


Label: Bootleg
Year: 1991

The classic line-up of Buzz, Dale, and Shirley Temple's daughter, doing it in classic Melvins style, slow and low, for the classic John Peel.
'Nuff said, yes?
Alright...four songs, including the rare Clown Alley cover "Theme", and an added bonus (not on the original 7" bootleg) Flipper cover "Way Of The World", with bits of Mr. Peel's dialogue interspersed. 
Honestly, that's 'nuff said now.

T(h)anks a lot. I feel like Lorax always takes a lot of shit, but her bass playing at this point in the Melvins' career makes perfect sense. Thud thud thud. The chronology confuses me sometimes though: was it Joe Preston, then Lorax, then Bill Bartel, or did Joe do two tenures of duty? Or did Lorax?

Thanks, Anon. Coulda sworn Bill Bartel was in there somewhere. But then there's at least one other guy (the Boner records dude) who I don't see on that list, so i guess that's just the real full-time members.
