brodies is selling a bunch of cool stuff, but this is the definite gem of his auctions.
The Absentee Concept formed in California in 1978 playing a songs that perfectly fit the time period between late 70′s punk and early 80′s hardcore. In 1981 they shortened their name to the Absentees and pressed just a little over 100 copies of their tryin to mess with me 7″. The band broke up in 1983 and were lost in obscurity until about 10 years later when one of their songs showed up on the Killed By Death volume 7 comp. The band kind of got back together played some shows and Artifix Records put out a CD discography compiling 37 tracks from 1979 to 2000.
If you have some money to spend and your looking for some rare early US punk/hardcore then this is for you!!

Is that description copied from wiki or something? Pretty sure they broke up in ’81 before the record came out, and they actually pressed 200 copies and they only had $ to pay the plant for about half of them. This used to sell for like a grand but now I’d be surprised if dudeman even gets his opening bid.
Also, the singer is currently serving a 55-to-life sentence for getting into a shootout with a SWAT team.
its not copied, I wrote it from some info I found online though.
