PHILTRADE at Roxas Boulevard was the main location for the "BRAVE NEW WORLD" concert series organized by Tommy in order to discover and meet other bands with no major label offerings. He decided back then that It was the right time to offer these groups to join TRC and record their compositions. That's really very supportive of him I may say!! According to him he produced these bands with his little savings and came up with TRC's first official release which was a compilation entitled "RESCUE LADDERS AND HUMAN BARRICADES" that showcased the bands he signed up for the label like BETRAYED who I personally consider as "The Grand Daddy Of Pinoy Punk". Urban Bandits, Wuds, Private Stock and others were also included on the bandlist. Definitely, a great start for this Underground Label which was only released on Cassette Tape format that would be the main type of TRC's succeeding releases. Amidst the pop-dominated FM radio dial here in MANILA, TRC releases became a stand-out among the Pinoy Underground Scene which was reflected by the harsh reality of Politics and Rebellion during those times. YUP!! These were the times of SENATOR NINOY AQUINO's assasination, The FEBRUARY SNAP ELECTIONS and the historic PHILIPPINE EDSA PEOPLE POWER REVOLUTION of 1986. Tough times indeed!!

Who would forget P.O. BOX 2304 Manila wherein bands submitted their demos for TWISTED RED CROSS? Tommy was very successful in motivating these Underground Bands to make their own compositions that would be release on the label so that they will progress on their own.
Twisted Red Cross' appeal was mainly being non-corformist to go against the norm which I think has paid off since they officially released 17 cassette tapes under their label. Though, THIRD WORLD CHAOS and THE PRIVATE STOCK were considered as coming from their list too, the discography TRC numbering was not indicated on their release. . Who would forget TRC's ordeal with the International Red Cross because of molesting the Red Cross Logo.
I wonder what ROSA ROSAL's opinion about this issue. Btw, to those who aren't familiar with Rosa Rosal she is an award winning Filipino Actress who joined the Philippine Red Cross and became Board of Governors of the said institution. Well, for me, ROSA ROSAL is the symbol of the PHILIPPINE NATIONAL RED CROSS.

I was able to buy four cassette tapes from the series back then and regretted swapping two of them just to get some materials but the deal didn't push through because I was hoping to get a copy of RP's second album but to no avail. Nevertheless, I was able to complete the digitized TRC Series last 2004 with some help from people from the underground. He He He!! I was also able to borrow some original TRC tapes so that I could have a colored photocopy of the their covers.
Well, here it goes TWISTED RED CROSS' releases back in the 80s. Some of them were re-issued in the early 90s.
I personally wanted to preserve the original tracklisting and so I decided to divide them into Side A and B, or Side 1 and 2, or what was just indicated on these cassette tapes.
