Die Cruisin’

By cooch | Published 02/26/2011

SIDE STORY: A few years ago there was a brief period where any high end punk records on ebay were won by one of two bidders: lpman13 or romarocket. If you were after an auction these two were bidding on, forget it. Worse, if they were bidding against each other, it was world war three. Lpman13 ended up being some sort of investor type that flipped his purchases a few years later for big profits and dropped out of the game, but romarocket still pops up once in a while (and you can sample his fine Italian cooking if you’re ever in Portland, OR).

Anyways, to get back on track here… I’ve posted this LP here before, but I’ve never heard the story that Mr. rocket presents in his auction listing:

This was a mistake pressing on Touch and Go Records that was meant for the Butthole Surfers 12″ “Rembrandt Pussyhorse”..but obviously T&G sold a few instead of sending them all back to the plant. Around 1000 made but most were destroyed. Approximately 100–200 are around today.

I’ve heard the 100–200 figure before, but I also heard that they were made for the band to give out to friends, so who knows. Either way, this record smokes, so someone should buy it since I already have one.

Blood, Sweat & Tears!

Lots of great records coming out of Missoula, MT this week!

I dont know to much about this pressing. It was done by King Fisher/Outcast records. I know that King Fisher was part of Century Media in Europe, but I’m not sure exactly when this was pressed. I found mentions of there being actual clear red copies, at least one pink copy and a bunch of these maroon copies as well as King Fisher copies on grey vinyl and green vinyl.

I do know that this classic slab of NYHC vinyl was recorded at Normandy Sound in Rhode Island. I think its awesome that some great classic hardcore records were recorded right in my back yard! RIX!

YOU MAKE US SICK!

A year or so ago the Bridge 9 guys were cleaning out the office and found a bunch of loose vinyl that had been left over from previous releases, but they had no sleeves to match them up with.

To remedy the problem they created the “Bridge 9 Warehouse Editions” which all sold out almost instantly! I know they did Champion – Promises Kept, No Warning – Ill Blood, Have Heart – You Can’t Go Home Again, Death Before Dishonor/Black Friday ’29 split and this one…

Outbreak ‘You Make Us Sick’ 7″ on maroon vinyl in the special ‘Warehouse Edition’ sleeve. The maroon vinyl was limited to 1100 copies, but this is #97 of 143 copies in the Warehouse Edition sleeve. I know that all 143 Warehouse Editions are not on maroon vinyl, but no matter what color the vinyl this is a pretty limited release!

WTF? This Seller Is High

Every now and then, I stumble across a truly delusional seller.

Take this guy (gal?) for example. I think the username works out to be “Danzig’s Girl.” Obviously, this person thinks they are selling rare Misfits EPs instead of semi not rare hardcore schwag.

Let’s have a look, from most modest (with nothing really modest about any of the BIN prices, really) to most outrageous.

Ambitions. $29.99. $30? I mean, I think this album is great, but asking for $30 is a super ridiculous.
