Victims – Annette 7″ – Plan 9

By Josh | Published 04/17/2010

The seller (The Taang! Records Store) has given basicly no information about this record at all yet wants someone to pay $1000 for it. The seller also says that the last one on eBay sold for $800 but there is on on Popsike from July 2009 that sold for only $338.

Heres what I know/found at Misfits Central…. Victims are the only band besides The Misfits, Samhain & Glen Danzig solo to apear on Plan 9 records.

This record came in either a more common black & white sleeve or a rarer red & white sleeve, but I dont know which one this copy is.

Plan 9 pressed 1000 copies of this 4 song 7″ in 1978.

A: Annette & I Want Head
B: Behind The Times & Nervous

band bio from Misfits Central:
This New York band (not to be confused with the similarly named bands from Chicago, Texas, and Australia) released a 1977 single called We Got The Music on BRG before putting out one single on Plan 9 Records. They later released another single on BRG called Real Wild Child and eventually recorded two albums. Rick Riley played guitar for The Misfits for two shows after Franché Coma left the band. Riley and Steve Berman went on to join Aces And Eights with Mr. Jim of The Misfits. Before forming The Victims, Rick and Barry had auditioned for a band that Bobby Steele was putting together. The cover of their EP on Plan 9 Records was later used on a bootleg put out by Killed By Death Records.

SINCE THE SELLER POSTED NO PHOTOS, THIS PICTURE IS FROM AN OLDER CLOSED AUCTION

THE VICTIMS – Television Addict 7″

By cooch | Published 03/03/2010

The official most expensive punk collecting genre to jump into cold turkey = 1970′s Australia. It’s all great, but it’s all REALLY expensive (and rare.) Here’s my personal favorite, The Victims’ Television Addict b/w Flipped Out Over You from 1978. TV Addict sings the woes of a young man who falls victim (no pun intended) to “too much violence on the idiot box,” set to one of the catchiest punk sides of all time. Flipped Out Over You has hardcore-speed drumming that’s as fast as Pay To Cum but two years earlier.

This copy looks pretty nice, the sleeve could probably be smoothed out to look even better (my trick for this is running it through a laminating machine w/o the laminate.) BIN away.

Ps, pre Hoodoo Gurus for anyone who cares (hopefully no one.)
