Revolutionary Sounds (1976)
Sudden Attack


On this day in 1777, militiamen from New Hampshire and Massachusetts fought and defeated British forces at the Battle of Bennington (thanks "On this Day in History" widget...). To honor this important date of the American Revolution we offer some Revolutionary sounds from Channel One; Agrovators Meets The Revolutioners At Channel One Studios, recorded 200 years after the Battle, and Revolutionary Sounds from the year before, complete with album art featuring Che Guevara... Ok, so this may be completely absurd and irrelevant to that historical fact, but whatever, listen to some classic instrumentals that will make you happy you're not getting shot at right now.

Alternate dub versions of a few tracks from these albums were collected on crucial sets on the Pressure Sounds label- "Maxfield Avenue Breakdown," an amzing collection of Channel One tracks from '74-'79 released in 2000, and the recently released “Drum Sound - More Gems From The Channel One Dub Room 1974-1980,” possibly the best compilation of the year. Buy them immediately from your local indie store.
