I’m trying to scale it back a little here, sorry for the massive posts… hopefully this will be more manageable for us all.

We got a dude here selling the first Warzone lp on Fist (not Fist/Caroline) with the original handwritten letters on the back. Who the hell told them to change that? It looks much better this way. John Omen’s bass playing on this release never really gets brought up, but I always have thought it sounds great, very full with lots of chords, meaty tone, and after all, played by the guy who drew the sleeve on the Straight Ahead 12″.

Got 3 good compilations for you:

  • Look At All The Children Now- In the form of a second, and more common pressing. Best Citizen’s Arrest songs, worst Rorschach songs, and a pretty funny Bugout Society song about the 80’s phenomena of the party line.
  • NYHC: Where the Wild Things Are - Don’t have to tell you this is one of the greatest of all time.
  • Connecticut Fun- Everyone knows this for the first Youth Of Today songs (which are great of course) to say nothing of the many other decent bands like CIA and 76% Uncertain, but the real attraction for me is the cover art. Look at that punk embarrassing that cop! It’s like a Heathcliff cartoon! “MY UNIFORM! THE CHEIF IS GONNA KILL ME!” Our man Joe Snow was involved in a CD reissue of this recently FYI.

Grab that Poison Idea “Getting The Fear” 12″ while you’re peeping. Maybe my favorite single by them and it looks cool as hell. Though I wasn’t surprised, I was pretty depressed the day Pig Champion was found dead. That was a guitar-player’s guitar player folks.

Here’s a link to all his auctions (some other cool stuff in there too).

  1. Thanks for the shout out. Can I just add that if anyone wants a copy of CT Fun on cd (with a bunch of bonus tracks) they can email me here?
