Spanish thrash pioneers FUCK OFF have reached to an agreement with Xtreem Music for the imminent release of a CD entitled, A Different Sacrifice 1987-1988, that consists of the songs of their first album, Another Sacrifice ('88), as well as the ones from their previous self-titled debut 7" EP from '87, although with the characteristic that these songs are offered in different versions coming from different takes done in the same recording sessions.

Due to legal problems in matters of releasing rights on the first album of the band that seems to never find a solution, which in fact made of this album and 7" EP never to be released on CD ever since, Fuck Off have decided to commemorate the 25 years of such recordings rescueing from their old recording masters, the same songs, but with arrangements slightly different to the ones on the album, sometimes unnoticeable if you don't carefully listen to both, but with a mixing and sound with which the band feels more identified (louder and heavier, more thrash, less heavy metal), due to the fact that for questions beyond the band's control, they weren't very satisfied with the final sound on the album back then.

A Different Sacrifice 1987-1988 could be considered the most near thing to a possible reissue of the mentioned recordings, but with a far superior sound and production. The booklet includes also a great amount of photos, magazine clippings, interviews, promotional flyers, show posters, liner notes by Pep Casas, etc., which completes an essential release to understand the origin of thrash metal in Spain, cult stuff!

The release of A Different Sacrifice 1987-1988 is scheduled for September 1st and you can hear an advance track below:
