TEAR YOUR FUCKING WORLD APART

A fair while back now i got talking to Henk from Kangaroo Records over in Europe, just your usual chit chat about bands/records etc. Not that long ago i hit him up to see if he had any AVO test presses i could buy off him cause i just about own every release and thought i could try complete it with the tests... He told me he might have 1 test of the LP left, he just needed to have a look for it and was in the middle of moving house so it might take some time. He asked if i could send him an Eye-Gouge! Tshirt for the trade... I thought that was a pretty awesome deal so i sent off the shirt and waited for him to get back to me. It was probably a bit over a month before he wrote back saying he had found the LP and the Runnamucks split test that i could also have and if there was any other kangaroo stuff i missed out on... I told him a few bands i was keen on that i never got the early stuff of, he told me my package was on the way and that he chucked in a few extras for me. So the package arrived and i was very fucking stoked to find what was inside, 14 records all up including Out Cold, Toe To Toe, Cardiac Arrest, The Despised and a bunch more. I will post the other stuff soon enough but in the meantime here are the AVO tests...

AVO - Domestic Violence Kept The Neighbourhood Quiet
Very basic cover, glued sheets on a cardboard jacket
Number 2 Out Of 4

AVO - The Zen Sessions / Runnamucks - Overdrive Tonight
Pretty basic cover too, B&W fold over..
Not sure how many of these were done up..
