G.S.B. (Goldman Sex Batalion) - Goldman's Beat

UPDATE 4/8/16: Update the download link to include a version of the rip that sounds WAY better. I made a mistake in the editing process that I've just gotten around to fixing. If you've downloaded the old version, I recommend re-downloading this one. It's literally better in every way.

6 hard ones and a pop song... and now, with an Ooze cover!

Yeah, I know what you're probably thinking: "G.S.B.? Doesn't Jimmy know that tape's old news now? What is he, some sort punk CASUAL?"

Hush-hush, wee baba, because I'm already way-past familiar with G.S.B. I absolutely adored this tape back when it surfaced on the web in October of 2015, right about when Mark Winter first started dishing these out. This is yet another one of his solo projects, which I'm assuming stemmed from Gordon Spicer Band,which supposedly was the first rendition of The Coneheads that debuted on the Cool Bands compilation tape (   • COOL BANDS - Full Cassette  ). I'm not entirely sure on that the two projects being related, seeing as how the two's sounds seem totally different with most of these tracks, but they share the same initials, so that makes them pretty much one and the same to me.

So, Jimmy, why're you posting this tape here if it's already popped up on the web twice now? What makes YOU so special that you get to post it for the third time? Well, Jimmy, this video's got something that none of these other rips have: an eighth track, which is a cover of Ooze's "Lifeless World" (   • COOL BANDS 3 - Full Cassette  . Technically, that track wasn't ever included with the original tape; that's where Erik Harrrrrvous comes in.

He hooked me up with his rip of this tape, along with his rip of C.C.T.V.'s most recent practice tape (which isn't as blown-out as the original one we've got now. I'll get to sharing that later today). I appreciate this rip immensely, because to me it sounds like the best of the three rips I've got of "Goldman's Beat". The others sound slowed-down or sped-up in comparison. Interestingly enough, Erik also threw in something else, something that hasn't even surfaced on the web at all, as far as I can tell. It's a cover of Ooze's "Lifeless World", in that signature pop-G.S.B. style. It was originally provided to Erik by Rold Gold on his personal copy of the tape (are you noticing a trend here on my channel? You should). Mr. Gold got his copy through Mark Winter by mail, which replaced "Happy People" with that cover. So technically, on the original copy of this tape, that track never existed, meaning it doesn't really belong here. I just felt like it'd be a crime to keep it to myself, because it's fucking phenomenal. It sounds like what I would've anticipated Gordon Spicer Band to evolve to: poppy, highly-energetic punk with slight tinges of unorthodox grooviness. It's easily the highlight of the tape to me, and having only been introduced to it earlier today, I can safely say that it's become my personal favorite track from this "group".

Oh, right. There's seven other tracks on this tape. Eh, I'm sure most of you have already listened to G.S.B. extensively by this point and have formulated your own opinions, so I'll save my breath. If you haven't heard of G.S.B. yet, listen to it on your own and think for yourself for once.

That's me teasing. Don't take it personally. And my bad if this description seems a bit rushed, I had originally written a shitload more, but Youtube's complete trash and saved none of it. Thanks dawg.
