Siouxsie & The Banshees - Mittageisen (Metal Postcard)

How can you post punk music without something from Siouxsie and the Banshees? You can't, so here is some for you. I don't think this one is massively well known outside the hardcore banshees fans. A German version of Metal Postcard (which is originally in English on her excellent debut "The Scream").

Lyrics on the back cover, so you can learn and sing along in German (high res scan included in download). The b-side is also excellent, an old live favorite "Love In A Void". It's a little scratched I'm afraid, so to make up for this the following post will be a brilliant studio bootleg called Metal Shadows (which has another version of Love In A Void)

Band: Siouxsie and the Banshees
Label: Polydor
Year: 1977
Tracks:
1. Mittageisen (Metal Postcard)
2. Love In A Void

Ripped from glorious scratched vinyl

Siouxsie and the Banshees - Metal Shadow (Bootleg)


The Scream for me was always Siouxsie's best album. It was raw and dark, and nothing like their first single "Hong Kong Garden"

I think I played this bootleg as much (if not more) than the Scream. So if you do like this go out and buy "The Scream", you will not be disappointed (see link as usual at the bottom).

Please note this is not a concert bootleg but some early studio cuts.

Tracks:
A-Side
1. Love In A Void
2. Metal Postcard
3. Suburban Relapse
4. Mirage
5. Carcass
6. Overground

Side B
1. Helter Skelter
2. Hong Kong Garden
3. Make Up and Break Up
4. Love and Romance
5. Carcass (II)
6. Love and a Void (II)

Ripped from glorious (not too) scratched vinyl

If you like this, then buy this. There is a cheaper version, but this deluxe edition includes a few John peel sessions.
