The Dadistics "Modern Girl" b/w "Later Baby"

Super cool punk/new wave band The Dadistics from Chicago, I think. Don't know much about them. Think this is their first 45 from 1979 or so. Don't even remember where I found this... just check it out.

The Epileptix "Self Hate" - Detroit Sick Rock'n'Roll!


First 7" from The Epileptix (not The Epileptics). Classic snotty spazzy killed by death punk rock from 1977 1997. Super hard to find. 400 pressed I think with the first 50 being color covers & clear vinyl, the rest with yellow xerox sleeve with hand colored "Self Hate" in red. A couple clear presses had the regular yellow cover as well. I've seen regular copies on eBay for $30-$40 a while back.

4 songs:
"Self Hate"
"Infected Brain"
"Teenage Apocalypse"
"Who's Next"

Tim Vulgar, Ian Ammons, Rob Chase & Tyler. Tim later did the Clone Defects & Human Eye, Ian did The Piranhas, Tyler did... nothing that I know of. Think he went into the army. Rob Chase is MIA. I took the cover photo in my garage one day when they used to practice in my basement. It's supposed to look like Tim hung himself from the ceiling. We used some metal cable and attached it to Tim's belt. I'll scan the color cover as soon as I can. I'll also rip their other 7"s and the LP. Oh and Tim lifted the honeycomb background from  Crime "Frustration" b/w "Murder By Guitar"...

Punish Or Be Damned


The Screamers "Pat Garrett Demo's". My favorite demo recordings from the legendary unreleased Screamers. A few years ago a bootleg came out on CD & LP with a bunch of other demos but I prefer these versions as they are weirder / darker / more of a studio recording rather than a rehearsal. Three of them were bootlegged together once as a 7" from the early to mid 90's which is super hard to find now but didn't include "Magazine Love" & "Peer Pressure on it for some reason.

5 songs total:
"Anything"
"Magazine Love"
"Matar Dolores"
"Peer Pressure"
"Punish Or Be Damned"

Dig the analog tape hisssss. http://sharebee.com/07b1df64

Richard Hell - Another World


The best and rarest Richard Hell record, "Another World / Blank Generation / You Gotta Lose" 7" on ORK records. The rawest versions of all of these songs. Recorded in 1976 ... right around the time Malcolm McLaren got the "idea" for punk ... Here's what the RH website says of it...
...original Voidoids lineup of Hell with Robert Quine, Ivan Julian, and Marc Bell, heard fewer than six months after they formed. There are three songs: "Blank Generation" (2:53) and "Another World" (5:59), which are the first studio recordings of songs that were re-recorded a few months later for the Sire/Warner Blank Generation album; and "You Gotta Lose" (3:29), which was also re-recorded for the Sire record, but wasn't used on the album. (That second studio version of "You Gotta Lose" only ever appeared on a Sire compilation LP called The Sire Machine Turns You On in 1978.) Clinton Heylin, in his book From the Velvets to the Voidoids (Penguin, 1993), says of the EP that "it may well be Hell's finest fifteen minutes." We'd take issue with that, but it's true that it has an innocent and crude power as well as a distinctness in its arrangements and mixes that are hard to beat.

Get it! Limited edition re-issue signed by R. Hell!
