POISON IDEA Pick Your King 7″ clear wax

Yes, I post about this band a lot. This is my #1 favorite HC record ever (see #2 below.) Thirteen tracks of unbridled hate and self destruction squeezed into one squeeky clear 7″ platter. The band always said they were unhappy with the production on this one, but I couldn’t disagree more—sure the guitar is a little thin, but everything else is just so tight and punchy and works so well with Jerry A’s gut-splitting vocals. PURE HATE indeed.

First press of 1000 on clear wax, subsequent Fatal Erection presses were on black (700) and blue (1000.) The guy behind Fatal Erection once told me that he and Pig Champion bought a huge bag of coke and assembled all 1000 sleeves by hand over the course of one drug-fueled weekend. RIP Pig, you were one of the greats.
