Think I care-Mongrel 10" Pre-order


Scored this off eGay recently. Nice price but fucking postage from States bumped it up considerably which always pisses me off. Anyway this is probably my favourite record by Think I care and this is a nice item to have. it's #ed 049 of 187 and on lovely red vinyl.

Septic death-Now that I have your attention LP Boot

Ah Septic death. I've been a fan since 1988 when someone gave me a copy of this on a badly recorded cassette (with Attitude adjustment 'American paranoia' being on the other side). I nearly shit myself when I first heard this. Anyway being a collector SD are a total nightmare. Millions of things out that usually command daft prices on eGay. Anyway I picked up this lovely looking bootleg at a show the other night simply because it was on red vinyl, It says 10/104 on the back and doing a bit of research I believe there is a even more limited quantity on blue. Anyway I recommend this release to collectors and just anyone who hasn't checked them out before (otherwise you'd own this record in some form already).

RIP The Caribbean club.

It looks like a shithole and it was but this place has a bit of history to it. Can you believe that The Offspring, No FX, Neurosis, Rancid played there in the early 90's with some long forgotten acts like Victim's family, Lag wagon and some that have completely slipped my mind. Hell, Extreme noise terror played here in the late 80's. I think that was the first time I went there. Anyway it's finally shut it's doors. Probably a good thing it was really only a host to bad drum & bass + dance nights before the end. Anyway, goodbye to a part of Preston's hardcore/Punk past.

Alone in a crowd-s/t 7" Test press

Won this little beauty off eGay, it's the contrast records release of the classic HC record-which only I previously had a 2nd press of (with that crappy cover). This is a much better release, as you can see the cover is made up of a a back sleeve with the logo on the side bar and an individual front cover. It's numbered out of 15 and my lucky number is 2!!! Happy days!!

Misfits canvas art piece

Had a gander on the local car boot sale last week and picked this up for a fiver. It looks very nice on my wall.

Spazz/Slobber-split 7" on pink

I've been a Spazz fan since they dropped their 1st 7 inch on Slapaham records back in 1993. One of those band that had a massive output of releases, being a collector of their stuff can be a challanging experience. I did manage to pick this up recently on eGay fairly cheap considering it usually goes for more than I paid and it is one of their rarer and more sought after releases. 100 on pink and there's no writing or owt on the labels or sleeve. A nice item and I'm one step further to completeing the spazz collection not that I ever expect to own that 1" single, like.

Slayer-Pathology red 7"

Another record store day exclusive, a new track by the almighty Slayer, on red vinyl in superb packaging. Ace track as well, sounds like a return to form but my guess is that the rest of the album whenever it comes out won't be anywhere near as good as this.
