“Our Blow Out” was a compilation that was originally put together and released in 1983 by Cliff from Social Spit. It was an energetic and amazing accomplishment for its time, and (as many of us can attest) it was an amazing compilation.

Curtis, the owner of TAANG Records, has expressed interest in re-releasing this compilation; he would like to make contact with as many band members as possible to set up a meeting. He is extremely interested in seeing this move forward, and it is our hope to put the word out to see how many originals that this information would reach.
If you were part of “Our Blow Out,” and you are interested in this project, contact Curtis at curtis@taang.com or Miggs at orders@taang.com.

Update: Cliff Cunningham has put “Our Blow Out” on CD …
very nice!
funny though, i e-mailed them and never got a response.
i guess they figured i’d maybe want a free copy or something.
Some of us are irresponsible at correspondence (not me- well- I’m irresponsible in general, and tend to be irresponsible when I DO keep in touch!) It’s a new age- we’re all very accessible. I think in the future people are going to become less sensitive to people not getting right back to them (I’m the worst about this- I take everything way too personally.)
I would imagine Cliff is just busy. He has returned correspondence with me weeks and even a month or more later. That’s just the way things are- it’s all a labor of love, a part time job that doesn’t pay.
Kudos to Cliff for getting this together. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful on this project.
Any chance for an “additional unreleased tracks” CD in the future?
just talked to cliff and apparently this is not released commercially…..
nor does he appear to have plans to release it commercially.
he stated that this is for friends who ask for it.
now that’s true punk-rock if you ask me.
In response to questions about the CD “Our Blow Out”,this collection is not for sale at this time and is strictly for former band members and friends.To set the record straight,I have no plans to release it or to work with any companies to release it.
I was wondering if you have any contact with the guys from district tradition. I’ve been trying to find more music from them but its not an easy task.
