Naked Raygun - Flammable Solid 7″ is a contender for the best packaging award. Always just looked super cool to me with the full sized Flammable Solid sticker on the front and lyric sheet on transparent paper. Only 500 were ever made, a one time pressing on Ruthless, and although all three tracks later turned up on the Throb Throb lp in rerecorded versions, this is still probably the most collectible Naked Raygun release for scarcity and overall coolness. The versions of Surf Combat, Gear and Libido are a little faster and maybe sound like a demo session for the album. Raygun were often poppy, but sometimes pretty angular and fractured sounding for a band with a rep as a punk/pop band. Surf Combat, the first track on side A is a pretty good example of that with a garagey drum beat that guitars crash into and then cut back out of intermittently.

You should really check out the seller’s other listings too because there’s plenty of A-list material like the first 2 Meatmen 7″s, Urban Waste E.P., Dangerhouse colored vinyl, Electric Deads, Chiefs…
