KILLED BY DEATH #18
 
 
Killed by Death  is a series of bootleg albums compiling rare punk rock songs primarily from the late 1970s and early 80s.  The first four of these compilations, (Killed By Death #1 - #4), were issued in 1989 by the Swedish label Redrum Records and featured tracks by obscure North American and European punk groups, as well as a few more well-known acts such as The Wipers, Zero Boys, Subhumans, and the Beastie Boys.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 
There are songs by the Gynecologists on albums in two long-running punk-rock compilation album series: Killed by Death #18 (Sex Orgy with the Bradee Bunch) and Bloodstains Across the Midwest (“Gym Gerard”, based on a TV personality), with the cover of the latter album having a crude drawing of the famous photograph from the 1970 Kent State University shootings.
