I’ve explained my feelings about the Necros before , and they more or less stand as they did then. They just don’t have the pizazz that their more well known peers did. As an example of ‘82-USHC archetypes they work well, and they even have some catchy songs on this 7″, and on their Conquest For Death lp (which I’ve taken a little more of a shine to recently), but they have nothing to really set them apart when compared to bands like Negative Approach, The Fix, or Toxic Reasons. Sorry 80’s hc purists. The Necros may have been cool at the time, but even when I was 19 I knew they were only kind of interesting. I love that the members are all still bitterly bickering over their back catalog though, which remains entirely out of print.
Anyway this is one of the earliest Touch and Go & Dischord rarities, only 100 copies made with this skate photo collage sleeve. How long before it starts breaking $500?
Ahhh…I was a previous owner of this rare sleeve…paid $30.00 for it at some Jersey Record convention back in the early 1990’s. It was the most I ever paid for a record and Brett beach who was with me, never let me live it down. I think i actually sold it for the same money a few years later…
Dave… you sold me this 7″ for $35 when you were unloading all of your vinyl. this is a great single.
Why didn’t I buy it? That record convention was in Long Branch, BTW.
adjusted for inflation though that’s gotta be about $500 in todays market… right?
