Urgh! A Music War OST (2-disc version)


Obviously I haven't gotten around to my Spring cleaning on this blog and doing something new with it. I've been busy with moving and school and such but in the meantime I thought I would post this.
"Urgh! A Music War" was a film from 1981 that was a sort of cross between "Decline of Western Civilization" and "Live Aid". A collection of live performances in several cities around the world, it included a list of bands that reads like a who's who of underground music in the post-punk/new wave era. I first saw the film when it was shown on USA network's "Night Flight" probably around 1986 when I was just a youngster getting into punk rock. Needless to say, I was blown away by the performances of The Cramps, X, Dead Kennedys, and others.
A soundtrack was released in the 80's and I used to have it on cassette but it was lacking many of the performances from the film. Recently a friend of mine ran across a bootleg double-disc version of it, though, and passed it on to me. The "bonus disc" contains all the stuff that the original release was missing! As far as I know, this hasn't been officially released on cd or dvd due to legal red tape and both the film and soundtrack are really hard to find. So, if you've been looking for this one then your search is over (at least until an official release ever finds its way to the shelves).

I'm glad I caught this before it was erased.
Reading your description was like reading my own past history w/URGH(had casettes as well, etc).

Thanks (specifically for this, and in general).

BTW Song 8 on the Bonus disk by Au Pairsis called "Do It Again".
The Cramps play "Tear It Up" and the original creator of this comp got confused....

Very cool post--thanks a million! BTW, there was an official double-LP soundtrack that included much of what's on your bonus disc (Toyah, Spizz, Members, Au Pairs, Alley Cats, Otway). Great to finally have audio copies of the Chelsea, Invisible Sex & Splodgeness tracks--those definitely never saw the (official) light of day!

Thanks for commenting. Glad you liked it. A friend gave me this so I didn't tag the tracks.
