VA - It's A Punk Thing, You Wouldn't Understand (1993 Shakefork Records)

Early 90's comp of Chicago punk and emo bands. You may be familiar with a lot of these songs from  the bands collects CD's (A History Of The Bollweevils, Kill The Musicians, etc), but this is the source material.

I have a healthy respect for 90's midwest emo, but I'm not gonna pretend to be any sort of uberfan or expert, so I can't really speak for that stuff. But this does have some of my favorite Screeching Weasel and Smoking Popes songs. It also features Angerhouse, with pre-D4 Paddy and Erik Fink, but don't expect anything remotely D4ish.
