[kj] introducing killing joke

[Tim Bucknall]

this will be great.
thanks to Jerry & Colesy
i think this is a very good representation of KJ 80-88
i always felt Linbo pandered towards to prevailing musical tastes of 1992
(no K&Q!)rather that showcasing all the  different evolutions of the band
it also favoured youth over raven

and while i love the "wilfull days" comp it's rather short and seems  a rush
job, with things like mislabelling the versions of LLB & new day etc it was
also a lost opportunity when they put sun goes down (which was already
available)on instead of birds of a feather which is still yet to be released
on CD

this "introduction" looks like a cohesive collection and Jerry  chose  the
only 2 otg tracks i liked!
in years from now they can  do a compilation that starts from extremities
and do both periods justice rather than  trying to cram  pandemonium tracks
onto this one

I'm well chuffed anyhow!
