Finishing the Zürich haul - United Mutation / Blindfold / Jimmy Cliff

ok. getting back on schedule with these last three 7" pick ups from my work related stay in Zürich, Switzerland.

first off the United Mutation - götterdämmerung 7" - L&F 028
this is one of two 7"es on Lost & Found Records. it features 5 live songs from a show at the East Side Club on 09/17/1987 and 2 songs from a 1982 recording session at Inner Ear Studios with Don Zientara. the other 7" features 9 songs from that same recording session at that legendary studio plus 1 song recorded at the same show.
why mix the recordings like that instead of doing a live 7" and one with what might have been the bands first recordings. well i guess that's just what you can expect from a shitty rip off label like L&F. they probably thought they could sell more copies like that.
does anyone know if they ever put out a demo tape? were these the recordings for something like that?
share your knowledge!!

next up is the Blindfold - world of fools 7" - Machination Records 05
this is one of the last releases by these legendary belgians. prior to this one they had already dropped their old school hardcore influences to become one of if not the best emo band in europe so this record doesn't hold any surprises. 2 great songs, stamped innersleeve, and a beautiful lyric insert.

last but as usually not least is the Jimmy Cliff - vietnam / she does it right 7" Island Records 6014 003
yes, this is another odd one out. i am generally not much of a reggae fan but this guy did some great stuff. as far as i know this was his biggest hit. it originally appeared on a s/t LP in 1969.

and while taking a group shot of the 3 I realized all of them have some kind of religious thing going on. weird coincidence that i kept those for one last post of everything I bought in Zürich.
