Ghoul - 1984-1989 (2004)

Collecting the entire works of Ghoul, 1984-1989 has all the tracks from Carry Out Fucking, Jerusalem, Oi Oi, as well as their compilation appearances on Game of Death, and Hold Up Omnibus. So it covers the classic line-up as well as Masami's Ghoul II as the Game of Death comp came out in 1989. The strange thing is, is that the Sqwad tracks aren't featured here.

Obviously Carry Out Fucking and Jerusalem are crucial listening for anyone into this style. And the same could be said for the compilation appearances. The Hold Up Omnibus tracks, Death City and Flash Back, are very heavy and crazy. Both are from 1984, the same year as Carry Out Fucking, however, they sound quite a bit like Jerusalem. As for the Game Of Death tracks, it shows Ghoul shifting style once more. This time to a thrash metal direction. The production on these tracks is rough, but along with Masami's vocals, i think this adds to the punky nature of Ghoul.

Overall this is a great compilation. It's missing a few things here and there, notably the Sqwad flexi,

but the main material is here in all its glory. Mandatory punk.
