Portion Control (tape, 198?, unreleased)



Somehow somewhere and somehow I got this demo from Portion Control. I am not sure when it was recorded, but listening to it, it seems to me that it's quite an early work, when they were less harsh and more poppy. The period when I liked them best. The tape is housed in a handmade carton box with an old poster glued to it. The band knows about this, but didn't care about it too much. On their recently released 5CD of archive works the whole first period seems rather underrated, which me thinks is a great pity.

Hi!

Any chance you'd sell this cassette? Or perhaps trade it for something of more interest to you?
