Stains LP – BIN stylee

By cooch | Published 01/31/2011

One of the most underrated American hardcore records ever, courtesy of alohacb.

It’s really a shame that this record has been out of print for years, as it’s a choice slab of ripping metallic hardcore. Add this to the list of SST releases that desperately need to be reissued, along with the Overkill 7″, Dicks Kill From The Heart LP and Saccharine Trust’s Paganicons 12″. A fried of mine was in negotiations with the band and Greg Ginn for a reissue, for it fell through for some reason or another. I’m surprised no one has booted it in the meantime.

BIN price on this is ever so slightly high (but still worth every penny, imo), though there’s a best offer option — so maybe this can be had for a nicer price.

Seller 2-density has up some cool old horror movies, and a couple nice slabs of early hardcore.

There are four records on SST that remain inexplicably out of print since they were first pressed… 1. Overkill Hell’s Getting Hotter 7″, 2. Saccharine Trust Paganicons LP, 3. The Dicks Kill From The Heart LP, and 4. The Stains eponymous LP. I could maybe see the label not wanting to repress a 7″, but I really can’t believe those LPs have been OOP for so long. Hopefully some day soon Greg Ginn will emerge from his weed induced funk and reissue these, or allow someone else to license them for proper reissue treatment. Until then, here are some nice looking copies of the Dicks and Stains LPs for your buying pleasure.

STAINS – Feel Guilty 7″

By cooch | Published 08/08/2010

One of only 2-3 early early punk releases from Maine (what up B Murphy), the Stains released this 4-songer back in 1980 on their own Gutterworst label. I believe the singer was from the UK, and the the tunes have a pretty strong UK punk influence (including Damned and Sex Pistols covers on side B).

I always thought the splatter vinyl on this one was super cool, i’ve seen copies ranging from completely clear to half clear/half splatter to solid black (that was a test though).
