Joe Step - Sacrifice

Requested by AxeCrazy.

I love this record, but it's a bit of a mish-mosh too. Kind of hard-rocky, but occasionally busting out into something really weird, like the title track. Hope y'all dig it!

By the way, this record (from 1982) is credited to Joe Step, and rightly, since he actually does everything on the damn thing; five songs have Butch Gordon on guitar and vocals, but Joe does bass and drums on those too. Which leaves just one question: Who the hell IS Joe Step??

Great lp, have not listened to this for awhile. glad someone else ripped this record. There is a hum all thru the rip, is your turntable grounded ok? I have not listened to the Triple Forte yet to compare if it sounds like that too.

Huh, I didn't hear the hum when I was ripping it--and it's hard for me to check the resulting files, since I only have the 1" computer speakers to listen to the thing through. Please do let me know if any of the other ones have it; I can re-do if necessary. Thanks!

Incidentally, Rob, I'm a little surprised you like Joe Step! I would have guessed it was too "hard rock" (in the pejorative sense) for your taste.....

weird you would say that as I have and like tons of hard rock albums and psych too. Not like this record?, no way, some classic cuts like "Love" that are unforgettable.

Don't take the observation the wrong way--I know you have good taste! I wouldn't have known to jump on that Wild Pussy record when I saw it if you hadn't turned me on....

I noticed the same humming sound in the Triple Forte upload. Like someone said, maybe your record player isn't grounded properly.

I'm downloading Joe Step right now.

Maybe a TV is open while it is ripped...

I've finally had a chance to listen to this gem. I think it's killer! I agree with doomedplanet - the cut "Love" is awesome. Many thanks to beerandjesus for ripping and posting it. Hopefully I can return the favor some day.

b&j: About the humming sound - how did you connect the stereo to the computer? I've had the same problem when I've tried to connect it via the headphone jack. Using 'line out' or 'tape rec' is preferred.
