UMUR
"Outtakes from 1st 7" 1986" is as the title suggests an EP/single release by US heavy rock/metal act the Melvins, featuring outtakes from the sessions for the band´s first EP release from 1986 (often refered to as either "Six Songs" or just "Melvins"). "Outtakes from 1st 7" 1986" was released through Do the Right Thing in 1989. The 3 tracks from this release are also available on the 2003 compilation album "26 Songs".

Naturally the music style on the 3 track, 9:24 minutes long release is in the same raw, hard rocking, and crushingly heavy rock/metal style with an angry sounding Buzz Osborne in front, as the material featured on the 1986 EP. Recorded at the same sessions, anything else would have been odd. Of course knowing the eclectic nature of Melvins output, it wouldn´t have been as surprising as it would have been with other artists, but in the early days Melvins weren´t quite as diverse as they would be later on in their career.

The quality of the recordings is decent enough, and to those who enjoy the early part of Melvins discography, this release will sit well with them. A 3 - 3.5 star (65%) rating is deserved.
