Inaugural Mix Tape, Part 1
Welcome to the first real post of the Sound Salvation Army blog. As mentioned in the “aboot” section we’re a few crazy Canadians who think we know what’s best for rock and roll. Welcome to our world.
This first post brings you part one of our inaugural Mix Tape. It’s highly unlikely you’ll see a mix this large in the future, but you have to start out with a bang. I’m sure a mix exactly like this has been posted in a great deal of other places, but hell, it works thematically. I tried to mix this into two halves, but I guess the amount of rock contained within those two files was just too overwhelming for the internets to handle. So here are the tracks individually; enjoy them as such or make them into a whole and see what that’s like, if you so desire. Updates will continue over the next few days until you have 13 very nice tracks that make total sense in the grand scheme of what this site aims for.
Special thanks to the boys and girls at the Vinyl Collective board for their suggestions and one in particular for abondoning this project on his own.
Music is transcendent, transgressive and transitory. Explore brave new horizons with us as your musical sherpas.

“Do You Remember Rock ‘n’ Roll Radio” comes from the Ramones’ full-length End Of The Century.
Refused put out the track “Liberation Frequency” on their final and greatest masterwork, the Shape of Punk To Come. It’s the finest.
