V/A A History of Compassion and Justice? Ep

Here's a compilation 7" from the mid-90s, released on Lengua Armada recs.  This one featured a few bands who would go on to be considered classic US HC from this time - Los Crudos, Ottawa, Dead and Gone and Universal Order of Armageddon.  Additionally there were tracks from John Henry West, Manumission and Naked Aggression.  I must say that the N.A. track is one of my favorites, mostly for the absolutely silly lyrics.  The song is called "Stop the Hate" but in every line Kristen Patches rails against people she hates!  Unintentionally hilarious, I'm sure.  The Los Crudos tracks is of course a classic and on their discography record.  The same for Ottawa and U.O.A.  Dead and Gone's track ended up on the CD version of their first record, but this track and the first 7" are their best material to me.  A cool collection and a glimpse back some awesome bands in their prime.  Check it out.
