"A Different Sacrifice 1987-1988", consists of the songs of their first album "Another Sacrifice" ('88) as well as the ones from their previous self-titled debut 7"EP from '87, although with the characteristic that these songs are offered in different versions coming from different takes done in the same recording sessions.
Due to legal problems in matters of releasing rights on the first album of the band that seems to never find a solution, which in fact made of this album and 7"EP never to be released on CD ever since, FUCK OFF have decided to commemorate the 25 years of such recordings rescueing from their old recording masters, the same songs, but with arrangements slightly different to the ones on the album, sometimes unnoticeable if you don't carefully listen to both, but with a mixing and sound with which the band feels more identified (louder and heavier, more Thrash, less Heavy Metal), due to the fact that for questions beyond the band's control, they weren't very satisfied with the final sound on the album back then.
"A Different Sacrifice 1987-1988" could be considered the most near thing to a possible re-issue of the mentioned recordings, but with a far superior sound and production. The booklet includes also a great amount of photos, magazine clippings, interviews, promotional flyers, show posters, liner notes by Pep Casas, etc., which completes an essential release to understand the origin of Thrash Metal in Spain, Cult stuff!!
The release of "A Different Sacrifice 1987-1988" is scheduled for September 1st and you can actually hear below an advance track.
Fuck Off were one of the first Spanish thrash metal bands to release an LP, and one of the most influential along with Legion. Fuck Off was their original name but they attempted to change it to Destroy in 1988 after releasing their first single, finally taking back the original name. The band split-up in 1990 and, according to some sources, Pep Casas registered the moniker without asking the other (founding) members and the former manager.
The band without Casas (Joe, Ringeling, Jackson, Miki) reunited in 2001 under another name since the copyright name was property of Casas. Hell on Earth rerelase in 2006 was made by Pep Casas without the consentiment of the other musicians that took part on the recording. Casas reunited the band in 2010 and asked the old members to join, but only Joe Bolta accepted.
You can also listen to the version from the original album to appreciate the differences of arrangements, sound and production, below.
