JESUS CHRYSLER : "Turn or burn" - 7" - 1987 - USA, TN, Knoxville - SECOND COMING RECORDS






Melodic mid-tempo Punk with a great singer (A BUZZCOCKS like vocals)...







A lot better than their LP on TOXIC SHOCK RECORDS in my opinion...

Good melodies but too much melodic music for me at the moment...



I've heard about only 500 made with two different covers.



I don't know what's the first sleeve but I think the white colored sleeve was before the yellow one ?



By the way, I've scanned both sleeves as I do have both pressings...

There's no diference I can see with both vinyls !


The reason why I gave interest to this band in the 80's was their hometown...




In fact, they were from Knoxville, TN and I was very curious about everything coming from this town because it was the town of KORO in the early 80's...



Of course, this release has nothing to do with KORO : 7" but it's pleasant and decent melodic punk without the obnoxious and shitty R’n’R influences of their LP.

It's rare, really obscure and not so bad...
