Liquid Stone ~ Here Comes The Weekend b/w Because of You

2009-03-11T00:28:00.000-07:00

1981 Liquid Stone Music, Aylesbury, UK
Direct from the Brady collection comes Liquid Stone. Many rumors that there are only 10 known sleeveless copies of this UK rarity. Thats pretty damn rare. Labels seem to be hand glued. "Here Comes The Weekend" was featured on Powerpearls Vol. 10 and the B-Side has never been comp'd. Enjoy.

The TKO's ~ Don't Pull The Plug b/w Young Girls

2009-03-07T02:32:00.000-08:00

1996 Public Square Records #???
Ohio knows how to rock! Right? Yes, sir.... I have two TKO's 7" in my stack and they both are superb catchy punk rock. They also have 10" on Deadbeat that might have thrown you off.. its called the Teenage Knockouts. Get that record if you can.... Maybe Ill post that soon. I've heard that some of these members wen to play in Neon King Kong and other OC bands. Maybe Ill post that soon. Enjoy.

Scum stats: ? All copies I've seen are on RED.

Smogtown ~ Smog On 45... ep

2009-03-07T02:12:00.001-08:00

1997 Hostage Records #006
Either you get it, or you don't. Most Californians do. This is BEACH CORE. Its their debut 7" that led them to 2 full lengths and 4 or so EP's. They also did a 10" on Deadbeat that is their best! I'm all about the "Smogtown New WAve Revolution". Hostage Records and The Stitches are what got me to where my music library is now. I would still be listening to garbage mainstream rock if the so cal scene didn't happen. Smog City Wavers report for duty.

Scum Stats: At least 3 sleeves. Orange,White and Black Wax. 800 pressed

The Prostitutes ~ Get Me Sick Ep

2009-03-07T01:40:00.000-08:00

1996 Pelado Records #??
Prostitutes debut 45 was recorded 4-20-96 in the good ole' Mechanicsburg, PA. Snotty 77 angry teenage punk rock. This is the dynamite recipe! If I could travel back in time.. I would go to Harrisburg so I could see the Prostitutes vs the Disappointments rock it out. Prostitutes did a full length on Pelado and then two more 3 songers on American Punk Records and Black Hole Records. The band was idle for some years and became the Inversions. Recently the Prostitutes have reformed and just released a new CD on May Cause Dizzness.

Scum Stats: ??? I have black wax.

The Shifters ~ Mix It Up Ep

2009-03-07T01:15:00.000-08:00

1998 Radio Records #004
Melodic San Francisco punk rock with Chris from Modern Action on Vocals and Guitar. Karen and CT from the Funhouse Strippers and Trust Fund Babies. You might have seen their 2nd 45(I have the test press!) on the Rip Off roster. Radio Records also put out their full length "Shattered". This is one of the first 45's I bought 1998 when I got into this underground thing we call rock n roll. You could find all latest and greatest at Red Devil Records and plenty of in store shows. Anyways.. enjoy this and Im sure this will be stuck in your head all day long.

Scum Stats: 1st 100 on blue / 500-750 on black

The Pain ~ Next Time Ego b/w Why Complain?

2009-03-07T00:43:00.000-08:00

1979 Dark Records #003
"Swedens first prime punk group,first named Pain in my ass, started 1976 in Stockholm, Sweden. " This seems to be The Pain's second release. I don't know much about them. I read that this is on Bloodstains Across Sweden #3. This 45 is classic along with the wimpy intro to the A side.. The B side is a STOMPER! They have a myspace page with no music.

Scum stats?!?!? Mine is on BLACK

The Drunken Cholos ~ Livin La Vida Loco ep

2009-03-06T14:34:00.000-08:00

2001 Hopeless Records
YES! The Queers are back together for this short CD. Joe Queer, Wimpy and Tulu along with Geoff Useless deliver 7 tracks in just over 9 minutes. I know it says 2001, but this is new to me. I would have overlooked this disc for life. Johnny Bodies blasted this for me on the way to bowling league one monday night. I was hooked. Now it's your turn. Tell all your friends about the Cholos. Also, why doesn't the latest Jabbers sounded like this? The Drunken Cholos myspace claims that Tulu is moving back to NH and they will be moving forward on another album!!! Fuck YES!

Puss N Boots ( From "Hell Comes To Your House")

Red Cross before Red Kross. So-cal teens delivering infectious punk rock on this mini Lp by Posh
Boy. My copy is the first press with goofy pink DJ sleeve. 3rd press pictured above with the more desirable red sleeve and silver labels.

Cheap Time ~ Tour Tape

2008-10-02T20:14:00.001-07:00

Got this in SF the first time I saw Cheap Time. Unfortunately the hot girl was no longer in the band. These tapes were home made and recorded over the original sound. Mine seems to be some kind of book on tape with sailor music. You can hear it on the intro to the first track.

The Nix ~ Down The Tubes e.p.

2008-10-02T11:38:00.000-07:00

Rag Doll (from "Choke on It" comp)

self released 7" from 2005?
The Nix first seven of two. Don't know much about them. I think they are from Portland? Mitch added them to his top ten of 05.

Scum Stats: 400 black wax.... I think 200 of both sleeves.

The Randumbs ~ Hell Bent For Rehab e.p.

2008-09-24T21:02:00.000-07:00

1993 Chapter 11 Records #001
The Randumbs (Sonoma, Ca) solo debut 5 songer. Snotty Angry Samoans influenced punk rock. They were very helpful in getting One Man Army, Dropkick Murphy's, The Bodies, and Working Stiffs attention in the Bay Area. Ian the bass player started the label that had the debut's of One Man Army and Tiger Army. He then started Bro Prints, a rock n roll merchandise company.

Scum stats. 500-600 black vinyl

2008-09-21T18:38:00.000-07:00

1997 TKO Records #006
Another debut 7" here...... The Bodies (Sonoma,Ca) Suicide ep got the hype machine rolling for the band and TKO. Solid punk anthems in the vein of the Saints and Misfits.

Scum stats: 1st 100 on Green. 900? on black. 5 test pressings..(in my collection along with their LP test)

The Disappointments ~ All Cranked Up

2008-09-21T13:59:00.000-07:00

1997 Sell Out Records #001
Debut from The Dissapoinments (Harrisburg PA) deliver attitude, party anthems and fuck yous. They did 2 more 45s on Radio Records and appeared on a Pelado CD only comp. Total essential for snotty punks.

Scum stats: 1st 100 on Blue. 400? on black.

The Cadavers ~ Nevermind The Bodies...

2008-09-21T13:21:00.000-07:00

2002 NoMa Beach Records #001
Pre-Bodies punk from Sonoma Ca. Originally debuted as a self released 6 song cassette in 1993. Took my severance pay and started the label with these 3 songs. Sold out very quickly due to the Bodies popularity. Sounds more railer then the polished Bodies sound and has great female back up vox.

Scum stats: 1st 100 with Abe sleeve and toe tag insert. 400 standard sleeve.

The Wongs ~ Get Away e.p.

2008-09-19T11:55:00.000-07:00

1996 Rerun Records #002
Ahh The Wongs(Yuma, AZ)!!!! This band was one of my first favorites when I started listening to the underground garage punk stuff. I tracked this down on ebay after getting their LP on Rip Off. This one sounds different then the full length. Its earlier in their existance and less polished. Sounds like it was a live in the studio recording. I LOVE IT. Enjoy.

Scum stats: 1st 500 on Root Beer and #'d. 2nd pressing 300 copies.

The Starvations ~ Shut Up Sirens b/w Breakin My Black Heart

2008-09-19T11:11:00.000-07:00

1996 Vinyl Dog Records #010
Looks like Vinyl Dog Records is getting my full attention. I am not a Starvations (Socal) fan, but this record has so much energy and sincerity.500 pressed. Produced by Mike Lohrman of the Stitches and recorded at legendary Adamos Studios. This is the only VD release that does not have a limited collectors color edition.

The Naughty Monkey ~ Pill Mama b/w Dad Song

2008-09-11T18:40:00.000-07:00

1994 Vinyl Dog Records #006
My first post of many Golden Shits!!! This is one of Ricky Barnes(pro skater) first OC bands. He went on to The Pushers, Dodge Dart and many more. Smut Peddlers guitarist Sean got his start here. 500 pressed. 1st 100 are #'d on Root Beer wax and came with a 1" button. Mine is #13 and I need that button.
