Various Artists - It Happened... But Nobody Noticed & Temps Supplémentaire

In 1982, New Haven, Connecticut indie label Gustav Records (formed by Craig Bell, former Cleveland resident, former bassist in both Rocket From The Tombs and Mirrors, leader of CT-based Saucers at the time) released It Happened...But Nobody Noticed, a 13-track LP documenting the local scene, so close-knit that punk, power-pop, new wave and art rock could peacefully coexist on a single record. Twenty-five-or-so years later a digital version is planned, and by the time the original material is cleared for copyright, another thirteen tracks by thirteen more bands are unearthed, and hence, our second disc Temps Supplémentaire. 16-page booklet features band pics and member credits for all 26 tracks. Artists include Poodle Boys, Subdueds, Scout House, Hot Bodies, The Furors, Saucers, The Snotz, TV Neats, International Q, Troupe Di Coupe, No Music, October Days, The Bats, Stratford Survivors, Disturbance, The Excerpts, Epitome, Valley Of Kings, The Not Quite, The Sabres, Dada Banks, Radio Reptiles, The Cadavers, The Plan, Happy Ending and The Reducers.
