What’s in the sleeve driving up the price?
A gram of coke actually. That is the only way I can rationalize why this is going for $51 dollars at the time of me posting. It must be good coke too, probably close to pure. Last time I checked you could buy a gram of cut up blast for $15 from the guy with [...]
nervous breakdown!
I started reading the ‘Touch & Go’ book yesterday and one of the reviews they did was of this 7″ and this is what it said…. When your needle touches down on this record prepare to have all those tidy little notions regarding the hard-core fringe thoroughly obliterated. Just when we’re beginning to feel certain [...]
Damaged Original Pressing.
An all time classic, no doubt about it. The question is though, does it have the “”As a parent… I found it an anti-parent record” sticker on the back cover… According to the description, yes, it does. But there’s an old saying: why talk when you can show. This is one of those cases where [...]
Black Flag, All Right!
TV Party 7″ inches for everyone! I recently got a sealed purple vinyl copy of Black Flag’s Damaged LP in the mail and it has been sending me subliminal messages in my sleep to find it some vinyl friends to sit with in the B section of my collection. Below are some links to various [...]
Another SST radio gadget
Here’s another one of SST’s pre-record label ham radio devices. These things are pretty cool, I saw one at my friend’s house in TX last week and they definitely make interesting conversation pieces. I guess with this one being a prototype of gadget #1, it’s kind of equivalent to a test press of Nervous Breakdown… [...]
BLACK FLAG – LONDON 85
It just keeps coming and coming and coming… here is more awesome vinyl in Deutschland I dont know anything about this record at all. I’m sure that its Live in London in 1985 and I’m pretty sure its a bootleg. Other than that all I can say is that the cover art would make a [...]
I hear the same old talk, talk, talk!
It looks as though robase has apparently ditched DJ E-Z Rock and hip hop completley in favor of dealing in rare highend hardcore records. Its like the Fresh Prince ditching Jazzy Jeff all over again! Hugely important early hardcore/punk record. Sounds like its in great shape except for a small split on the fold of [...]
Loose Nut skate deck
OK this isn’t a record but it’s still cool… classic Flag skate deck with some good bonus stickers (NO FAT CHICKS). I really dig the Live ’85 sticker at the bottom!
Black Flag concert ticket
Imagine being able to tell people you saw Black Flag, 45 GRAVE, DOA, Descendents, Husker Du and UXB in 1982? Dear lord. You can at least hold this thing in your hands and daydream, I won’t tell.
I’ve Got To Run…
When it comes to Black Flag, you’ve got some strong opinions. Some people ONLY like the Keith era. Some people think Damaged is the end-all be-all of hardcore/punk records. Some people think the later era smokes (dope?) the other material. And I know at least a few people who will say Jealous Again is the [...]
SST Mobile Antenna Impedence Transformer
This little device is a real asset when adjusting the base impedence or your mobile antenna to make your solid state rig happy. In case you didn’t know, before there was SST the record label, there was SST the ham radio company. Greg Ginn parlayed the money from the sale of these gadgets into Black [...]
press your own Black Flag vinyl
another rare item from the Dukowski collection, but this time its rarer than a test press! This is a nickel stamper for side #2 disc #1 of BLACK FLAG’s “EVERYTHING WENT BLACK”. New stampers were being made and Chuck asked to have one of the old ones while I was at the pressing plant for [...]
Mr. Henry Garfield
Hammerin’ Hank is 49 years old…. he was 20 years old when this record came out. I wonder if 20 Year old Henry Garfield had any idea he would grow up to Henry Rollins, bonafied celebrity, movie star and TV star acting alongside such greats as Brandon Lee, Michael Keaton, Katey Sagal, Ron Perlman, Cuba [...]
BLACK FLAG – Nervous Breakdown 7″ (Duke’s copy)
Not much to say here… arguably the first hardcore record ever, being sold in its original untouched state by Chuck Dukowski. What more do you need? As with other label chiefs selling their old stock copies (Jeff Nelson, Corey Rusk, etc), I can see this going for a pretty ridiculous price. Someone just needs to [...]
Annihilate This Week!!
Another SST test press from Chuck Dukowski. This time its the Black Flag ‘Annihilate This Week’ 12″. Three live songs recorded August 23, 1985 & June 27, 1986 and then released as a 12″ ep in 1987. The title track is from the last Black Flag show but the other 2 tracks are lifted from [...]
Kiras Got the 10 1/2″
Black Flag – Who’s Got the 10 1/2″ test press from the collection of Chuck Dukowski. The title is a reference to improvised line by Henry Rollins in “Gimme Gimme Gimme” where he reveals that bassist Kira Roessler, indeed has the 10½. A great live record recorded at the Starry Night in Portland, Oregon, on [...]
The Decline of Western Civilization
Original VHS copy of a great early punk documentary. Classic footage of X, The Germs, Black Flag, Fear, Alice Bag Band, Circle Jerks & Catholic Discipline. Some hilights: – Black Flag with Ron ‘Chavo Pederast’ Reyes on vocals and off stage showing off his apartment which is barely a closet! – Footage of The Germs [...]
47 punk & hardcore 7″s
the seller doesnt give much info about this lot, but at least its some decent bands… 47 records total including records by Positive Approach, Warzone, Black Flag, Gorilla Biscuits, Chokehold, NTC, Emotive Drive, Open seasons, Billingsgate, Decadence Within,Thankog, Wornout, Staight Youth, Backlash, No Way, Inner Strength, Identity, Charley’s War. Plus compilation 7″s including songs from… [...]
NIG HEIST!
Steve Corbin aka Mugger was a roadie for Black Flag. He had a sense of humor that a lot of people ‘in the scene’ didnt really get, but that didnt matter. He was the front man for a ‘band’ that got to open for Black Flag. It was basicly Mugger berating the crowd and trying [...]
BLACK FLAG – More Star Wars!
After posting that lame Star Wars post I wanted to serve up a serious addition and the first thing I checked was Black Flag. Voila, a nice copy of a 1st press Nervous Breakdown, but wait. What’s this? The sellers name is darth_cita? Darth Maul, darth_cita? I am beginning to see a trend here. I [...]
