Oil – The Gold Tape (1997)

March 1, 2023

Before CKY, there was Oil. CKY have a rich and varied history, but the band Oil was basically CKY in all but name. Granted, this is pre-Ginsburg, but by listening to this 1997 release (also known as The Gold Tape) you are listening to an old CKY demo, rather than material from another band the guys were in beforehand. A lot of these tracks never made it in the future, but this demo contains one of the best versions of “Human Drive In Hi Fi” (here as “In Hi Fi”) and its worth a goosey for that track alone.

A dusty relic that I’m glad I unearthed.
