V/A - Necronomicon 2 2xCassette (Necronomicon N002) 1985

Another request that was coincidentally almost ready to post.

A sure sign your music collection is too big: Several months ago I tried to bid on this compilation and was and did not win it. A few months later while browsing through some of my shelves, I pulled this out and was joyed & surprised to see I already owned it!

This compilation includes two cassettes and a 24 pg. booklet featuring text and art contributions from the artists. The tapes are split between US and European participants.

A lot of moderately well-known (Vox Populi!, P16.D4, F/i, Smersh, Architects Office, Psyclones...) and many unknown contribute one or two tracks to this collection including Coral Infantil Cantaires del Cadi, comprising of children with no prior musical experience and Catalonian musicians from Error Genetico, Macromassa and others.

I enjoyed your bidding story, only to find out you already owned it. I've downloaded several things, only to find that I too already had it.

Great post! I remember when this came out and I didn't have the cash to buy it ... figured I'd never get to hear it.

I was in a band with Gregor Jamrowski (Billy Club Puppet), which is how I heard about it. Very luxurious to finally get to listen.

Thank You!
