The first Dicks long-player (and the only one featuring the original lineup), Kill from the Heart captures the band sounding very live in the studio and preserves their grungy, bluesy hardcore, flubs and all.

The Dicks hailed from Austin, TX, and their sound at this time was a spongy, grimy mess churned out by novice players; their rootsy influences aren't immediately apparent underneath all the mud and fury. While clumsy, they're also compelling, especially when frontman Gary Floyd lets loose with his enormous bellow or guitarist Glen takes a solo and sounds like he's getting his fingers caught in the strings. The proudly Communist Dicks hold nothing back in their rants against the Ku Klux Klan, Nazis, bourgeois fascist pigs and, more often than not, the police. Floyd spewed particularly vile venom when writing about the boys in blue, resulting in cop-killer material like the title track, "Pigs Run Wild," and "Anti-Klan, Pt. 1" back when Ice-T was still wearing track suits and rapping about breakdancing. Of course, the Dicks are too knee-jerk angry to provide any context for their fantasy attacks, eschewing social commentary for simple, blistering hate. Still, these rabid anti-cop songs are the most memorable cuts on Kill from the Heart, though the pedophilic "Young Boys' Feet" isn't easy to forget ("Those feet really turn me on/Hey Mom and Dad, there ain't nothing wrong!").

"Rich Daddy" provides the best pure rock action, leaving the hyperspeed hardcore behind and letting the band's bluesy tendencies hang out. In fact, a handful of tracks make explicit the Dicks' musical roots, not to mention the direction in which frontman Floyd would later take the band. "Anti-Klan, Pt. 2" takes a stab at either blues or country (it's hard to say which), slowing down the original to a sluggish shuffle and bringing in fellow Texas punk Tim Kerr for a Dobro solo. "Dicks Can't Swim" is a lengthy jam that encourages the listener to "hit your neighbor" over broken-bottle guitar and a surprisingly danceable backbeat.

Their material on the earlier Recorded Live at Raul's Club features better songwriting, and later Dicks lineups were more musically accomplished, but Kill from the Heart is their most frenzied performance and stands out in the pantheon of hardcore.

---------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SIX (6) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

***Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually***

---------------------------------------------------

COMBINED POSTAGE FOR DIFFERENT FORMATS will be invoiced at my discretion:

While I am happy to combine (for example) one or two 7” singles into one package with 12” records, sometimes it simply isn’t practical (like if you want me to combine one 12” record with three or more 7” records). I simply do not think that these combinations can be packaged together safely and securely. Therefore these will be invoiced separately as two packages.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE, please contact me before bidding!

---------------------------------------------------

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
