E-13 – No Mercy For Swine 7″

By far the rarest release on Fatal Erection, here’s E-13′s debut 7″ from 1984. The tunes are not unlike the first Poison Idea 7″, but a little snottier and a little rougher around the edges. An overlooked piece of classic American hardcore for sure.

Only about 330 copies were ever pressed. The first batch of 300 with green labels came back defective and all but about 30 were discarded, and 300 more were pressed with white labels. All copies come with a stamped A-side label and hand drawn B-side label. The drawn labels are all pretty crude, as you can see from the picture below. My copy has a giant bloody vagina on it and I’ve seen another one with a swastika made out of dicks.

These don’t turn up much, so if you’re a Northwest punk head or a Poison Idea fanatic (like me) this is a rare opportunity to grab this elusive platter.
