Zoetrope - Amnesty (Full Album - Vinyl Rip)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 тра 2024
- Here's a vinyl rip of Zoetrope's 1985 debut "Amnesty." Pretty cool speed/thrash metal featuring the late Barry Stern on drums and vocals.
This was ripped from the 1985 Combat US vinyl release on an AT-LP60 going straight into my computer with no other modifications. It's not the best turntable in the world, obviously, but it's fairly decent, and this rip didn't come out too badly other than the IGD being a problem on the ends of either side. It still sounds better than the CD reissue which was similarly sourced from vinyl.
Enjoy!

These guys came out to a party in rural, and I mean way rural, Geneseo farm party that my band just happened to be playing cover tunes at (Metallica Megadeth etc.) We had no idea they were there and just happened to be covering "indecent obsessions". I don't know who was more shocked, them for driving two hours west of Chicago and hearing themselves being covered, or us when two of them came up on stage, stopped the song, brought some of their own stuff and joined us. Greatest night I've ever had. Lit the fire. Zoetrope forever.
Amazing band, cheers from Brazil. Love the two first albuns. Barry was a very original singer.
Chicago street metal my friend
North side....
These guys perfectly blended power, thrash and groove!! Such a kick-ass album start to finish!!!
this album fucking rocks. Have it on vinyl. Got it for 2 bucks in a box of "damaged" records at a local store and it plays fine. In that same box I also got Speak english or die, Hell Hammers apocalyptic raid and Ravens wiped out all for 2 bucks each...I sold hell hammer for 100 bucks lol.
Same Here 25p!
I got S.O.D too!!!! hehe!!!!!
First time i checked these guys out was because of Jason Newsted, wearing a Zoetrope shirt, back in the day.
Oh the personal irony for me in your post. lol My cousin is Kevin Michael, the founder and guitarist of Zoetrope. I’m from Scottsdale Arizona and used to see Jason around locally in his Flotsam and Jetsam days. Then Jason gets the gig with Metallica and that pic you are mentioning with him wearing my cuz’s band shirt. I called Kevin and teased him that Jason owes him royalties for advertising Zoetrope lol.
Zoetrope was definitely ahead of their time fellow metal brothers and sisters!!!!!! All of their music is current and as brutal as today's metal is
one of the few thrash band , that pefectly knew how to groove it !!! barry's singing was just like paul stanley on pcp ...
I was with these guys a lot in their early stages before this album was released. First time I heard them in a club called Rusty Nail (Chicago) I knew where they were headed. From that point we became good friends One night I had my Gibson S.G. and Kevin Michael jammed on it for their first set. Great band with so many memories. RIP Barry but I have this feeling your kicking it out up there. Only thing I wish is where they all ended up. Kenny Black I believe is living in Hawaii leaving after his stint with Sharon Tate's Baby. As for the rest I have no clue.
was just with Kenny Black last week here in Chicago
Do you know any one who can put me in contact with kenny Black or contact him for me?
im picking up humphreys at ohare airport tomorrow. hes been living up in Minnesota.
Fuckin` good album! These guys deserved more sucess! Pure power/thrash metal! Great!
But the second album was a disappointement...
Barry Stern was a Metal Legend. Chicago Legend and a super nice guy. I was only 12 when I would see him at Metal shows at Rosemont Horizon with his long curly hair and thick glasses and he would always say hi to us kids 🤘
Barry super nice guy
I played this album to death in the 80's. Why didn't it get more credit?? Kick ass in your face street metal with a real high testosterone energy level! 🔥🤘🔥
r i p barry loved you brother man i seen these guys so many times at the metro GREAT BAND!!!
if this don't make you wanna shake your head ,then well your not so coool
MASTERPIECE !!!!!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘
I remember this from when I was much younger.... Liked it so much, I got the vinyl. Played the hell out of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Killer early thrash/speed metal album. Barry Stern killed it on 1990 Trouble album as well, another Chicsgo metal masterpiece.
Great album, fantastic band. I have known them since the Metal Log Vol.I demo. The Amnesty album rips. This band deserved WAY MORE attention; Chicago's answer to Exciter!
I was just listening to violence and force by exciter and imideatly switched to member in a gang by zoetrope. Both are awesome bands
@@maltamaster Absolutely! and both drummer singers :)
Oh, much better than Exciter...
@@indamood8806Way less boring than Exciter and especially the mid-80’s stuff with enticing titles like “ Long Live The Loud”? Wtf does that even mean, right?

Zoetrope was WAY BETTER than Exciter and less boring than them. Look at their album titles alone. Long Live The Loud? Wtf does this even mean lol 😂 seriously though, do you know what ever became of Zoetrope after that second album? Sincerely, DJP Anal Cunt;Postmortem and Kilslug Sony; Earache 🇬🇧 Columbia and TAANG!!

Sound is very good..snare drum sound and guitar bass sound is very clear..best quality sound recording..1985,so long time ago..36 years old ago..
Yes, indeed: one of the reasons why this is such a good album…
Saw them at the Metro in Chicago in ‘86 I think it was. Remember it like yesterday
Chicago metal at its best.. nothing like seeing them live.miss the old days 😌
This has very much an anvil vibe

love this band..smoked weed with barry and calvin outside city limits in pittsburgh pa..they headlined an all day show i believe..saw them 3 or 4 times..raw band,but really rocked.
Love this album! good band, good songs & Barry was a hell of a talent, R.I.P.
This brings back a lot of memories. Diamond Rexx opened for these guys a bunch of times.
muy bueno!!! saludos de Argentina
(R.I.P.) "Barry Stern"
Underrated band! Fuckin` metal! Great álbum!
Seen this band at The Metro in Chicago back in 1985 excellent show, Barry Stern.R.I.P. was a great drummer he went on to drum in Trouble another great Chicago band. \m/
My brother, Eric Stevenson was the biggest Zoetrope fan. I believe that his friend Steve Fahy turned him on to them. Either way it meant Zoetrope on the turntable all day, in between Sticky Fingers and Led Zeppelin, ha! This one got alot of play in our house. I loved it too but, you know. Then came Life Of Crime and, HOLY SHIT! Twice the Zoetrope twice the plays. I was in Zoetrope overload.
Thanks for uloading it. I lost my record somewhere and after like30 years I can listen to it again in good quality. :)
I remember waiting for this album and got it right when it came out.. great live also.. I miss this stuff
Amnesty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great Old School Thrash Metal! Loved it! Very underrated band back in the 80's. Thanks for sharing!
These guys are bad as! Groovy as fuck too! Not typical thrash!
finally! An upload of these songs in decent quality :D
thank you for uploading this album for us! and then also in excellent quality! just THANK YOU! i love you so much for it
I remember seeing these guys the first I was wondering who the hell is singing I'll be damned it's the drum player I met Barry one time at the Oak he was very cool guy We miss him greatly
Thanks Bro!
great album. playing mercenary in a loop is perfect to rise volume up to blowing speakers.just great lp
Loved this album from when it came out. Still love it. For me it will always be one of the greatest Thrash albums, up there with Bonded by Blood, Kill em All, Feel the Fire, Killing Technology, Master of Disguise, Speak English or die and Metal Church - which are all debut albums btw (ok, Killing Technology isn`t)...
☺☺☺
i old 46 year old git!...but love this cos i 16 then!!! lol
bang the head that doesn't bang
Have this album too! Didn't heard it for long time! :)
The almighty ZOETROPE & ZNOWHITE!!! EARLY CHICAGO SPEEDMETAL BABY!!!!!
RIP Barry met them at the metro Barry was very cool guy they would hang with the fans they were ahead of time should got more regonition .bought there albums played the hell out of them .
Partied with these guys after their show at Blondie's in Detroit bitd. Epic bsnd. Cool guys. Awesome album.
Maravilhoso disco
Bill Steer bring me here, a total MASTERPIECE!!
Barry’s dead? Oh dang. RIP bro! Loved the band. Never had a chance to see them. Not sure if they ever came to Boston. Probably. wished I had seen 5hem.
Good old Baz! Take Care Mate! Rest In Peace
Killer!
Saw these guys in east moline, IL. 1986. Local band Insane Aggression opened. Zoetrope killed. Nuclear Assault headlined. Met em all at the bar. All drunk as fuck. Especially N.A. great show!
Rip is pretty good, I like it. Did you keep it lossless?
Exciter megadeth and zoetrope yup I was there. At the Metro Chicago. I believe.
mercenary is the best song , had t5his album in past
I talked To Barry at the Oak Theatre King DiamomnD show very nice guy I'm very sorry he passed super talented and nice guy
fucking amnesty
where's the Uncommon Valor sample at the beginning?
Strangely missing from my copy. May have been on the Roadrunner version, if that's where the CD is sourced from.
it's not part of the original pressing. It was added on the re issues. I have no idea why, this album doesn't need it. This is a great rip if you don't have the original album. I seen them many times as a teenager and stage dived like crazy at their shows.
Crazy, i had no idea. I have the original canadian Cobra Records pressing that has the sample when it was released.
Street metal
But where´s the intro gone?
My US Combat copy didn't have it, oddly. Apparently the Cobra and (maybe) the Roadrunner versions still have it, as well as the later CD ones.
@@Bashe86 Ah, that´s the reason. I have the Roadrunner original. Well, actually I got 2 of them...
😄
FUCKING THRASH METAL MAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!!GODS OF THRASH!!!! \m/ \m/
How do I get a cop?
