\"The
The Jabbers – Is, Was, And Allways Shall Be (Blitz Records, 1983)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Now this is another funny one: Everybody has this down as GG Allins first LP but in fact it is The Jabbers, to which GG Allin (in real:\u00a0Kevin Michael Jesus Allin) was the front man. But, self-proclaimed star that he was, he changed the front cover for a “star shot” of him humble self and made it “GG Allin”…neat! Little did i know when i got \u00a0the record in 1983 thanks to Uli @ Konneckschen that i was to be involved directly with GG Allin in later years (the Artless\/GG Allin split LP was co-released by Mike Just’s Starving Missile Records and the little vinyl lable i did run in these days). As much as GG Allin later did not only ruin his health go “full speed” on drugs this is full speed punk rock in the best sense.<\/p>\n

Whilst his later output focused on his show (and his singular sense of words), this actualy is a tight band with all sorts of good songwriting beneath!<\/p>\n

The verdict:<\/p>\n

1977\u00a0\u2013\u00a0indeed, this is Punk Rock with both a P and an R!
\n<\/em>published by a cool lable\u00a0\u2013 I guess nope, a swedish re-issue on Blitz Records – a local distributor with at least a questionable portfolio – back then and today!
\n<\/em>found in a cool shop\u00a0\u2013 Konnekschen!
\n<\/em>catching sound\u00a0\u2013 solid string work, good tempo and ruthless singer – works for me but some better production and a smaller ego would have worked better, eh?<\/em>
\n<\/em>The lyrics\u00a0\u2013 true GG to-be can be seen through, direct, insulting – love it!.<\/em><\/p>\n

My favorite one (due to the great background vocals repeating “Automatic”):<\/p>\n
