In its prime, San Francisco’s Flipper was a magnificent, fascinating entity, playing what might have been typical hardcore music at an unsettlingly slow speed: like a 45 slowed down to sub-LP pace, a flawless impression of a downed-out hardcore band. The harsh music lumbers and creaks, oozing feedback all the way. Sex Bomb Baby! compiles all of Flipper’s singles (six sides) and tracks from sampler albums, going as far back as the group’s 1979 recorded debut on Subterranean’s first release, the SF Underground collection.
