Here we have a Gorilla Biscuits bootleg that I personally have never seen. The sellers description says that its demos from 1986 and the title says its demos from 1991. I’m sure its crap and I know alot of you guys don’t like bootlegs at all, but I really like the cover with just the Gorilla on the blue background. It reminded me of when I was in 11th grade and my friend John (Trinity Records) got a fake ID that said he was 22 and from Maine went to get a tattoo of the Gorilla on his back. He got it exactly the size of the 7″ cover and it was awesome. The tattoo was done at a shop in Woonsocket called Wheels Tattoo and the guy that did the tattoo was in a wheelchair from a motorcycle accident. Because he couldnt move his legs you had to control the pedal for him. One night after another friend got tattooed by him he asked us for a ride home so we drove him and when he got out of the car he handed us a 1/2 stick of dynamite as a thanks for the ride and said “dont blow your hands off with this” Wheels died a few years after that in another motorcycle accident (on his custom trike) and as odd as it was Johns Gorilla Biscuits tattoo actually dispeared! There were rumors that Wheels watered down his inks, but it was still amazing that the whole tattoo was basicly absorbed by his body.
