Specialists/collaborators reviews

Warthur
Despite Steve Albini's open contempt for the CD format during this era (the other major Big Black compilation, following this one, would be entitled The Rich Man's Eight Track Tape, and Songs About Fucking had a pro-vinyl message on the back), it has to be said that the CD version of the Hammer Party is simply superior to the vinyl release for one important reason - it includes the Racer-X EP, which despite not being as good as Bulldozer is still very good, and a touch above the Lungs EP.

In other words, on the CD release you get the first three Big Black EPs all in one convenient package - and that makes this a very handy one-stop acquisition to cover more or less everything of significance from their pre-Atomizer era.
