Nada is Bérurier Noir’s first 45t EP, released in 1983, originally on vinyl, shared with the band Guernica. 6 punk-psychiatric, aggressive and cold tracks. All in a black and white sleeve, with a terribly disturbing illustration signed by François (singer).

La Bataille De Pali-Kao

For the first time in a white vinyl version + two posters (A2 format with photos, drawings and texts), here is the adaptation of the famous V.I.S.A. tape released in 1983 “Meilleurs extraits des deux concerts à Paris” (Best extracts from two concerts in Paris) which offers a cold and brutal dive into Bérurier Noir’s first stage performances.
The title of this album refers to the self-managed factory on rue de Pali-Kao, in the 20th arrondissement, where Bérurier Noir played their first concert. It’s easy to imagine the omnipresent smoke that slightly obscures the view, the heady smell of warm beers and the repetitive sound of capsules falling to the ground, the floor trembling under the incessant hammering of rangers, docs and creepers from the audience… This famous raïa, destructive and colourful, which encouraged the duo to continue their adventures whereas François and Loran had simply planned to bury the band after the concert!

On A Faim! Anarchy & Music

“On a faim!” was originally an anarchist music fanzine created in 1984.An entire network, with no geographical ties, grew up around the fanzine, helping to write articles and distribute them (often by hand). The fanzine’s name even began to appear in connection with the organisation of concerts (Ludwig Von 88, Raymonde et les Blancs Becs, les Thugs, Les Ejectés, Kortatu, Yo Pizza Jump, etc.) and the creation of radio programmes.
The On A Faim! label came into being at the end of the 80s, following the release of a host of live tapes and themed compilations: “A Bas Toutes Les Armées”, “Cette Machine Sert A Tuer Tous Les Fascistes”, “Ni Jah Ni Maitre”, “Pogo Avec Les Loups”. Then came the first artistic albums with Désert Culturel, Un Dolor, Have Nots, Kargols, Pleum, Mister Moonlight, Rude Boy System… Here again, the artistic choices were made primarily on the basis of human encounters, the attention paid to the bands’ approach and discourse, and their attitude to the public… even before listening to the slightest demo!
Archives de la Zone Mondiale wanted to pay tribute to this inspiring label, which marked the history of independent and committed music for nearly 15 years. With one of its founders, Jean Pierre Levaray, we have cleverly concocted a sort of musical anthology retracing the essential bands that have marked the history of the label and the fanzine.
On A Faim ! – Anarchy & Musik is a double 20-track vinyl compilation in a highly graphic gatefold sleeve, retracing the label’s extraordinary trajectory regardless of musical style: punk, of course, but also ska, hardcore and popular chanson…
Last but not least, all the royalties from this double vinyl compilation are donated to the Uzine (Le Havre) and Fanzinarium (Paris) fanzine libraries.
