ADVERTS - Television's Over/ RCA Records (UK) PB 5128 VG+/NM 10
(1980? Later sides by Adverts. Solid, concise, 'mature' five-chord rockers with interesting "the
end of punk's golden era" lyrics.)
AGE OF CHANCE - Motor City/ Riot Bible RIOT 1 stVG++/NM 15
(1985. They can't play very well, but they are really tight together, really focussed, good
arrangement. Unique-sounding punk-rocking shambles. Great pseudo-Hershfeld cover, too! No
insert.)
AIRMAIL - No Human Feeling/ Graffitti (UK) GIT 001 VG++/VG+ 12
(1979, ominous dark pounding with lead bass and scritchy-scratchy guitar, German-woman vocals.
A little bit Siouxsie, a little bit Keith Levine...)
ALBERTO Y LOS TRIOS PARANOIAS -- Heads Down, No Nonsense, Mindless Boogie EP (2x7")
Logo (UK) GO-323 @VG+/VG+/VG+ 8
(Dee-lightful ramalama punk satire, three-sided pogoin' goodness. This is one record I wish I
had bought in '77, I would have dug it mightily. Still quite keen today.)
WILLIE ALEXANDER - She Wanted Me/ Somor no # @VG+/VG+ 10
(1978. Boston proto-punk/early-punk. Sloppy, drunk-sounding reggae about being sloppy drunk.
Flip's a noisy punker with cardboard drums.)
ANTI PASTI - East To The West/ Rondelet (UK) Round 18 VG+/@VG++ 8
(1982. Mid-tempo punk with affected vocals. B-side is faster/funner, a little bit.)
ANTI-PASTI - Caution In The Wind + 2 EP Rondelet (UK) ROND 26 G++/stVG++ 8
(1982. Nothing-wrong-with-it semi-melodic punk, doesn't make so many compromises that it blands
out. More 77-style than HC, and I guess it seems like bands could play 77-punk in their sleep
by this time, but this is not bad at all. Apparently issued with a sticker, this copy don't
gots.)
ARMEDALITE RIFLES - S/T EP Wrinky Dink (USA) no # VG++/NEW 4
(2004, NY state. Conscious-youth punk; war & globalization tunes set to a dynamic version of
'77-style riffpunk. Nice punchy guitar sound, good pov to the lyrics.)
ASSFORT - (Japanese titles) EP Prank (USA) 03 VG++/stVG++ 5
(1995. Ferocious HC with a couple of stick-in-your head sorta-tunes; roaring PLUS songwriting.)
AUTOMATIC - Second Skin + 3 EP Capsule Rec.s NM/NM 4
(Kentucky, '97. SXE with good melodic hooks, Ian-sounding vocalist. W/insert.)
AUTOMATICS/WILLY WONKAS - split EP Heavy Metal Productions no # (ITA NM/NM 3
(1999. A band from Portland OR and one from Italy. Has insert.
AVANT GARDENER - Gotta Turn Back + 3EP Virgin (UK) VEP 1003 VG+/VG+ 7
(1977 shamble punk/pop trio, coasting on sass and enthusiasm. Much lighter & poppier than
most, but still unmistakeably PUNK. Trebly, tuneless, lovably naff.)
BAD RELIGION - Stranger Than Fiction/ SFTRI 326 NM-/NM 5
BAD RONALD - Working Your Life Away/ Sundown (AUS) SUN0266 VG+/NM- 7
(1988. Nuggets-punk at 100 Club speeds. Pretty keen.)
BALONEYHEADS - I'm A Drunk + 2 O-No 1980 NM--/@NM-- 110
(1980, Clev-o. Classic teenaged stoopid.)
HONEY BANE - Guilty/Dub hb (UK) 946 VG+/VG++ 5
(No date, early 80's. She was involved with the Crass Organization, and here she's doing the
new-wave sex kitten? Go figure. I don't have time to sit down and analyze her critique. Reggae/
punk; Essential Logic, Bush Tetras, Delta 5 sound.)
BANNED - Little Girl/ Harvest (UK) 5145 stVG++/NM 10
(1977. Syndicate Of Sound cover, innit? Punkied-up in an appealing way, but I can see why people
wondered if they might not be mods. Flipside's solid as well, quite decent two-sider.)
BASTA ROC - Monument/ Proto-Noise (UK) PN 1 VG++/NM-- 12
(1981. Slightly disorienting blend of sing-along punk/oi and arty/pretentious Martin Hammett/
Steve Lillywhite moves. On the A-side, they strike a 50/50 balance, B-side is more like 30/70.
One source says they're from Sweden, but I don't believe it.)
BAZOOKA JOE - Pastor Of Muppets EP Headcleaner (USA) 001 stVG++/NM- 15
(1988, South Carolina. Solid '82-style hardcore, nothing wrong with it at all; recognizable
hooks and songwriting and stuff. I kinda like. Such a clever title... If there's supposed
to be a lyric sheet, this ain't got one, but it comes with a gig flier tucked inside,
Bazooka Joe opening for Op Ivy in Myrtle Beach. Red vinyl.)
BEAT HAPPENING - Nancy Sin/ Sub Pop S2000 XX/NM 5
(Promo-only, issued without sleeve, LTD:3500.)
BIG COMB - In My Glass + 2 EP Too Many #68 NM/NM 3
(Spokane WA, no date. Heavy, depressing, kinda-metallish punk rock about getting drunk and/or
being hungover. Has insert.)
BIMBO SHRINEHEADS - "Dawn's Menstrual Cycle" EP Tulpa Prod. TLP 012 NM/NM 5
(1990, CONN. Female led, grrrl-type content, noise punk. About the same proportion of structure
to freesquall sound as early-middle HALF JAPANESE. Haphazard smartpunk charm.)
BIRDLAND - Rock N Roll Nigger + 3 EP Lazy (UK) LAZY 20 NM-/NM 4
(1990. NOT the Texas/Lester Bangs band. UK band, Patti Smith cover. Kinda long-winded but they
rock -- indulgent long guitar solos often catch fire.)
BLACKS - Send Curses/ Chemical Valley (no #) NM/NM 3
(1999, Tucson AZ. Lo-fi, bass-heavy hc with some songwriting & pacing. Two
inserts.)
BLIND AMONGST THE FLOWERS - Dementia Americana/ no label (UK) no # VG++/stVG+ 15
(No date but 1983-85? From Crewe. Grunting, grinding (and groaning) UK pigfuck with Birthday
Party/Big Black moves. Of course I love it.)
BODIES - Art Nouveau/ Waldo's (UK) HS 007 VG++/NM- 40
(1979 KILLER buzzsaw art-punk. Severe guitar distorto-boxing -- starts out slow and psychy,
picks up speed & urgency. B-side's pretty good, but A-side is truly brilliant. Four-panel
foldout sleeve.)
BORN BC - Power And The Privelige EP XCentric Noise (UK) FIRST 1 NM--/NM- 20
(1982. Plodding/ranting UYK punk with distortonoise guitar that sounds like a vacuum cleaner on
High. Very MRR #13. Has advertising insert.)
JET BRONX & THE FORBIDDEN - Ain't Doin Nothin/I Can't Stand It
Lightning (UK) 501 VG+/@VG++ 15
(Appealing rock-punk with a Rolling Stones feel to the arrangement. Good songwriting. Plenty of
cowbell. Red vinyl 1st pressing, "LTD": 15000.)
JET BRONX AND THE FORBIDDEN - Ain't Doin' Nothin/ Lightning (UK) LIG 501 stVG+/@VG++ 15
(1977. Pub-flavored, mid-tempo odes to nihility and despair. Crummy black vinyl.)
BUZZCOCKS - Gifts Of Love EP New Hormones (USA) SFR 7 NM/NM- 20
(Live in NYC, 1979, "special fan club edition". Apparently not really a New Hormones release,
just a bootleg that appropriated their label name -- early boot, apparently issued in '80 or
'82. Four songs: Nothing Left, Noise Annoys,. Orgasm Addict, Oh Shit. Live-radio-feed
recording; you can't hear much guitar, but everything else sounds good.)
CANCER KIDS/MELEE - Split EP (no label) NM-/NM 3
(Boston, 2000. Wrestlecore grind-type stuff; Melee do three songs, Cancer Kids do eight... they
talk a lot about daily life in their hardcore punkrock scene.)
CAPONE - What We Shared EP Heartfirst (GER/JAP) BEAT 28 NM/NM 3
(Vancouver BC, Canuck band. 1996. Slow, sludge-ish metalcore.)
CELLARS - Beach Relief/ Foundation (USA) FRS 0050 VG+/VG++ 50
(1982, NJ. Tuneful, energetic, hook-y pop-punk, impossible to dislike. Flipside is a hetero-
genous... thing... with elements of reggae, power-pop, Wall Of Boingo snide-wave and synthpop.
Easy to dismiss stuff like that, but this'n has some good features... Nice guitar lead, revved-
up chorus...)
CHACHI ON ACID/JOLTERGEIST split EP A.R.S. (no #) NM/NM 4
(ONTARIO/CALI bands, 1996? Red vinyl, LTD: 400. One of 200 copies with hand-drawn covers?
JOLTERGEIST are artcore, like HEYDAY from Boston, or NO TREND/MISSION FOR CHRIST. CHACHI
tracks are live-to-boombox recordings from a gig.)
CHACHI ON ACID/SCREECHING FOSTER split ep A.R.S (no #) NM/NM 4
(ONTARIO, both bands.1996. LTD: 500. CHACHI are just the right flavor of stoopid to tickle me a
lot. S.FOSTER somehow didn't interest me much...)
CHARGE - Luxury/Madman In The North Kamera (UK) ERA 015 @VG+/@VG++ 6
(1982. Punker with burundi-sound drums, a bit of "let's be big and anthemic!" damage. B-side's
vaguely arty, instro break at 3rd chorus is very interesting for a couple of seconds. Kamera
records, that would mean they were from Liverpool, I think..)
CHELSEA - Freeman's + 2 EP Step Forward (UK) SF 18 NM-/NM 12
(1981. Charging three-chord punk-alongs with a whole bunch of words and some rockabilly
mannerisms.)
CHICKEN MILK - You Get Nothing + 2 Fans of Bad Production (#6?) NM/NM 4
(TORONTO/'91? Powerful emo tunes by female band; heavy,heavy guitarrishness and serene female
vocals. QUITE nice. Turquoise vinyl, LTD:1000.)
CHILD SUPPORT S/T EP Neophlyte NR 487 XX/NM- 3
(1987, SF.No pic sleeve. Good solid rock/punk, doesn't have the brilliant & immediate impact of
their 1985 LP.)
CHINA STREET - You're A Ruin/(I Wanna Be) Your M.P Criminal (UK) CRM-1 VG++/stVG++ 15
(1978. Transitional pubby-punky thing. A-side is punkier, B-side more pubbish. Nice chunky
guitar sound.)
WANDA CHROME AND LEATHER PHAROAHS - ...Be Your Dog Beer City Rec.s #39 NM/NM- 3
(Middle of the road sleaze punk. Cool sleeve.)
CINECYDE - Gutless Radio/ Tremor (USA) TR001 stVG++/NM- 75
(1977, Detroit area. Scarce midwestern (proto)punk; it's aggressive and 'new', but it's still
pretty well-attached to earlier long/slow songwriting styles.)
CLAP - VD.s No Laughing Matter +3 EP Strain (USA) 002 NM--/NM-- 40
(1982, Philly. First-rate '77-worship; I hear bits of Eater, Buzzcocks, 999, all mixed together
very nicely. A-side is repress of their 1981 7" tracks, B-side is two cruddy-sound-forever
live tracks. Comped on one of the KBD.s and this exact EP recently was reished on Bacchus,
one of those good things that Lee does.)
NEW!! 11/15 CLAWHAMMER - Double Pac Whack Attack (2x7") SFTRI (USA) 57 VG++/NM/NM 10
(All covers -- Blank Frank, Gut Feeling, Pumping My Heart, Final Solution. Guitar-heavy,
noisy/skronky in parts, rockin' versions.)
COCKNOOSE - Pain From The Prairie EP Baloney Shrapnel 1343 VG+/NM- 3
(2nd pressing. LTD:500)
COMPRESSION/WAR PRAYER - split EP Endless Fight EFR 08 NM/NM 3
(One band from NC, one from MD/DC. 1995. Mid-tempo crust with careful songwriting, and a grind-y
slow number with interesting guitar bits.Insert.)
CONFLICT - To A Nation Of Animal Lovers EP Corpus Christi (UK) Christ It's 4 @VG+/VG++ 12
(1981, crusty noise-punk stuff with surprisingly strong tunes and good hooks. Classic
animal-rights material.)
CONFLICT - The Serenade Is Dead EP
Mortarhate (UK) MORT 1 VG++/NM 12 ON HOLD
(1983. Hard-edged early Britcore screamin'. Screamin about animals. And their rights. Has
insert.)
CONFLICT - Live At Centro Iberico Mortarhate (UK) MORT 7 VG+/VG+ 3
(No inserts, no packaging gimmicks, and the matrix numbers are scratched out, so I reckon it's'
a BOOT. Angry lo-fi crusty ranting live punk rock and roll from 1982.)
CONFLICT - The Battle Continues EP Mortarhate (UK) MORT 15 VG++/VG++ 8
(1985. Ferocious anar/crust stuff, but B-side stretches out a bit & experiments with lighter
textures, it's not ALL walloping D-beat attack. Only 3/4 of it is. Whoops, no insert.)
CONSPIRATORS - Expressway To Your Brain EP Vi-Nil (AUS) VR 007 NM--/NM- 8
(AUS, 1984.Equal parts 60's garage punk and kbd-era ramalama.)
COWS - Plowed Am Rep Scale 50 NM-/NM 7
(1993. Yellow vinyl.)
CRABLADDER/SLOWJAM - split 45 Power Tool (UK) 001 NM--/NM 5
(1993.Two bands from Wales. Both are smart, intense, midtempo punk, like an ideal combo of
Birthday Party and Black Flag. MAJOR coolness.)
THE CRIMINALS - The Kids Are Back/The Cops Are Coming Sing Sing S1001 VG++/NM 30
(Really cool, raw & crude powerpop that seems to reference everyone from JERRY LEE LEWIS and
LINK WRAY to LOU REED and BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN.Old store stock with clean 1/2" split along top
edge.)
DEAD LIKE DALLAS - It's A Story As Old As Time EP Square of Opposition (USA) SOFO 12 NM--/NM 2
(Portland band, 2002? Kinda charmless roar-core with arty/moody bits that I found sorta
intriguing. Bloggers say "screamo". Three inserts + sticker.)
DEAD MAN'S SHADOW - Flower In The Gun/The Last Cowboy Rondelet (UK) Round 27 stVG+/NM 10
(1982. Ruts-style 1979 sound b/w something more faster and hardcore-y. Not as weak as the other
one I've heard by them...)
DEAD MAN'S SHADOW - Another Year/ Criminal Damage CRI 106 NM-/@NM-- 12
(1983. Basic dole-queue punk adulterated with lots of Steve Lillywhite-style big-guitar-pop
production. Like Knox playing bass for Big Country. B-side's a bit livelier.)
DEFECTORS - Target Baby + 2 EP Louder (UK) 0001 stVG+/@NM 20
(1980. Dynamic musician-punk, nothing too fancy -- vocals a bit Siouxsie-ish and band/
songwriting are sorta like Penetration.)
DEGARNE - Last Dance EP Per Koro(GER) PK 28 NM/NM 3
(1997, Bremen GER. Close-to-grindcore with ferocious screaming vocals. Very high energy level.)
DIE KREUZEN - Gone Away Touch And Go 41 VG+/NM 5
(1989. White vinyl. Fold-out, six-panel sleeve. Much stress around edges.)
DIE KREUZEN - Big Bad Days Touch And Go 79 NM-/NM 5
(1991. red vinyl. Is there such a thing as college metal? Like a punkier Soundgarden. Acoustic
flip is v. pretty.)
DISCONTENT - Chance To Live ep Round Flat 002 @VG++/NM 4
(Buffalo NY, '91. New but sleeve creased.)
EARSHOT - Sugarties + 2 EP Satellite 70011 NM-/NM 4
(clear orange-swirl vinyl. Garage-punk with hc tendencies. New w/light creases.)
EATER - What She Wants She Needs/ The Label (UK) 009 VG++/NM 15
(1979, last 45 by these guys, and scarcest, this is the first copy I've ever had. I'll be
danged if they didn't learn how to PLAY by '79! A little bit. Dig those T Rex moves! And
it swings! Almost like punkabilly...)
EXPELAIRES - Sympathy/Kicks Rockburgh(UK) ROCS 222 @VG++/NM 8
(1980. Ska-pop on the A-side, flip is a long and diffuse but pretty okay punker a la later RUTS.)
EYE PROTECTION - Elroy Jetson/Go Go Girls Aleph (no #) VG++/NM-- 35
(1979, SF. Uptempo pop-punk with some Sparks/new wave damage. Good drummer, sharp lyrics, fun
listen.)
F.H.HILL CO. - Jealous Mack ep Girth (USA) 003 @VG++/NM- 2
(1995. Distorted, noisy HC with smart songwriting, some semi-melodic touches.)
FACTORY - End Of Night/ Cobra (FRA) COB 47001 @VG++/@VG++ 10
(1977. Proggish mainstream rock, keyboard-led, with strong, VERY David Gilmour sounding guitar
leads. Flip's more heavy/boogie in nature, with a clean, glossy production that weakens it.
Their other 45 may have been KBD material (#200), but this one really isn't.)
FIREBALLS OF FREEDOM/LOPEZ - split EP Dirtnap ZZZ03 NM-/NM 3
(FIREBALLS offer up a very tasty double-speed jacked-up version of Spirit's hippie-era classic
"I Got A Line On You Babe". Lopez more typical hardcore, nothing in particular stood out for
me about their side.)
NEW!! 11/15 FLOORLORDS - Black Ice Ride 2Nite/Electrified Wet Mud Wall
Squirtdown (USA) 777 NM/NM- 6
(1986. With Chuck Biscuits.)
FLYS - Waikiki Beach Refugees/ EMI (UK) 2867 stVG++/@NM 12
(1978. Rockabilly-ish/pubby pop-punk, reminds me of Cheap Trick as much as anybody else I can
think of. Yellow vinyl.)
FOR LOVE NOT LISA - Softhand/ Theologian PR 5173 NM-/NM- 1
FOR LOVE NOT LISA - Good Intentions/ Theologian VG++/NM- 2
(Punk rock as a commodity. I never can understand why this band's records exist.)
4 SKINS - I'm Mad/When I'm Gone Beatnote GR 001 stVG++/NM- 40
(1981, NYC. Nice ranting punker, good and basic. Flip's quirky-with-sax, but still kinda
raw-sounding.)
FRESHMEN - You Never Heard Anything Like It/ Release (IRE) RL 975 stVG/@VG++ 15
(1979, Irish band. Delightful pop-punk on the A-side, evrything about it is perfect. Amusing
lyrics, GREAT hook in the chorus... A new second-string favorite, I like as much as Scot-
tish Zeros or Piranhas' "Yap Yap Yap." Flip's a bit more pub-rock/hard-rock sounding...)
FUCKING FLYING A-HEADS - Swiss Cheese Back/ Otaro (USA) CATCH 2 VG++/VG++ 50
(1980, HI. Romilar hippies making sludgy flippernoise mess. Obvious stoner-psych/70's-metal
roots, and some blatant Iggy manouevres.)
GBH - Give Me Fire/ Clay (UK) 16 @VG++/VG+ 8
(1982. Must be an early one here, it's not real metally. Seems like I detect a bit of a Clash
influence, could it be?)
GOOPS - I Want You/Death Of A Junkie Blackout Records BLK 27 NM 4
(PIC DISK. Old school-sounding punk with tuneful female vocals. You know, like the AVE... 
AVEN...)
GOREHOUNDS - Necrosis/Voodoo Priest Alien Cactus (USA) 002 stVG+/VG+ 5
(1986. Slow, grungy powerchord punk/garage with some Lovecraft damage.)
THE GTC - Columbus And His Robot Army + 3 EP White Denim (USA) 2 NM-/NM 5
(2001, Allentown PA. Kinda-atmospheric blend of grindcore and moody/indie/college elements.
Are the kids calling stuff like this 'screamo'? I can't keep up, I can't keep up, I can't
keep up... Red vinyl, LTD: 626.)
GUERNICA - Cleanse EP Clean Plate Rec.s CP 26 NEW 4

HAMMERSMITH GORILLAS - Gatecrasher/Gorilla Got Me
Chiswick (UK) NS 8 sm. sticker-tear VG++/NEW 10 ON HOLD
HEADLESS HEYDAY - Nothing Up Here Always ep Tantrum Rec.s? NM-/NM 4
(Boston/'87. arty/artful and interesting. very guitarrish, but not doctrinaire.)
HEAVENS TO BETSY - These Monsters Are Real EP Kill Rock Stars (USA) 209 VG++/VG++ 7
(One of the first and most important of the grrrlpunk records. Crude & simple, sorta K-style,
but it rocks. Lotta people seem to really love this one, and it is pretty damn good.)
HELIOS CREED - The Warming Am Rep SCALE 33 NM-/NM 6
(1991)
HITMEN - She's All Mine/ Urgent (UK) PRONT 01 VG++/NM 15
(1979. B-side didn't really click with me, but the song on top is very tasty pop-punk, like
ADVERTISING with a dash more personality.)
STEVE HOOKER BAND - Keep Dancing/ Ear (UK) EAR 3 stVG++/VG+ 12
(1979. Glammy pubber/punker with some wannabe-DOLLS moves. Very clean-sounding, but it ROCKS.
B-side is really really strong.Wilko Johnson/Dr. Feelgood connection of some kind.)
INSPECTOR 12/DOUBLESPEAK split EP Rhetoric Records NM-/NM 4
(Madison, WI, '92. New, light creases.)
INSTANT DEATH - Everything Is Golden/ app. NM/NM 4
(NJ?/'93. Press release sez'John Cage meets Motorhead'. More like Labradford doing grindcore.
Not bad...)
INSTIGATORS - Full Circle/The Sleeper Double A (GER) 010 NM-/NM-- 5
(1987, UK band. Not bad! Fast 1980-sound ramalama, not hardcore. Reminds me of Abrasive Wheels
a little bit.)
INSTILL - ...the sky is falling EP World Of Hurt Rec.s 002 NM/NM 4
(LA, '96. Paranoid, claustrophobic sounding postcore. Pink vinyl, with insert.)
INTESTINES - Living In A Cardboard Box + 2 EP Alternative Capitalists (UK) ACS001 VG++/VG++ 45
(1980. Rollicking, rude, ranting tuneful garbage! Yay!)
JOHN HOLMES/CANVAS - split EP Devil Rock (UK) DR 02 NM/NM 5
(Two great bands - HOLMES are numbingly powerful crust, intense enough to cut through 20 years
of 'heard it all before'. Striking use of feedback. CANVAS are even more interesting, HC
version of noise-rock a la BIRTHDAY PARTY, genuinely new and I wanna hear more.With insert.)
JUKE - 'Feel Good record of The Year' ep Lookout #53 NM/NM 4
(From '92. Solid pop-punk.)
KINA - Troppo Lontano + 2 EP Blu Bus (ITA) 6 1/2 VG++/VG+ 10
(1985? 1987? Sources disagree. Whatever, it's loveable punk-rock,most of it in a 'melodic
hardcore'/1977-ish bag, even some power-pop moves.No insert.)
KRAPOTKIN/INFERNO - split EP Studio Otukt (SWE) OR S 4 VG++/stVG+ 10
(1986, SWE bands. KRAPOTKIN sound like crusties playing shoegaze/goth; slow, powerful, cool
gnarled guitar leads, interesting arrangement... and INFERNO sound like the Inca Babies.
Yum. Has insert.)
LA PESTE - Better Off Dead/ Black cb 711 NM--/stVG++ 70
(1978 original (cardboard PS) of a KBD killer. Blazing three-chord US ramalama, with one note
guitar solos and a graceful sprinkling of pop sense. Light ringwear, not bad looking.)
LARRY BRRRDS - Rushville + 3 EP Rhetoric 17 NM/NM 3
(1996. Sloppy, thrashy pop-punk with some interesting changes, some political lyrics.)
LEGAL TENDER - I Don't Need You/ Misplaced 10891 XX/VG 6 ON HOLD
(No date, no location, but I'm told it's from 1984. No sleeve -- as issued? Fast melodic
punk-pop, like a lighter version of the LaPeste sound. Snotty lyrics, lotta teenage angst.
"Your charms have faded like your jeans; you say you love me but you got no green. I don't
need you." )
LEGAL WEAPON - The World Is Flat EP Last Resort (USA) 002 NM-/NM- 5
(1993. Funk-riff hardcore, like a smoosh-up of Minutemen and early Husker Du. Missing the
sticker.)

(Test pressing?)
LEYTON BUZZARDS - I'm Hanging Around +2 Chrysalis (UK) CHS 2328 VG++/VG++ 12
(1979. Fancy Steve Lillywhite production purties-up some okay pop-punk. Remember 'Advertising'?
B-side has an arty throwaway and a solid, very direct punker, sounds like it mighta been re-
corded live.)
LIES - July 1999 Kill Rock Stars KRS 329 NM--/NM-- 5
(Dark, pounding doomwomen, pretty captivating. And the flip is some kinda really crude
psychobilly. KRS "mailorder freak" singles club, LTD: 803/2000.)
LILIPUT - Split/ Rough Trade(UK) RT 047 VG++/NM- 25
(1980? This is so goddamn wonderful... Barely-together shambling DIY with the funnest, most
infectious, rhythmic, JOYOUS, shouted unison vocals you can imagine... It's like post-punk
doo-wop. Aaawwww, it's just perfect. But the B-side bored me.)
LOAD - Pastor's Day EP Faceless Wreckords @VG++/NM- 3
(Hollywood FL 1993. One corner creased, a mark on the vinyl. Two inserts. HC, occasionally
almost grind-ish.)
MADBOX - One For The Pile Cinderbox CB 8 NM/NM 4
MIKE MALIGNANT & PARASITES/PINK FLAMINGOS - split EP ON HOLD
Para-mingo (UK) 001/002 stVG+/stVG+ 35
(Unmistakably 1979. Quintessential DIY; both bands operate in a wonderful, haphazard &
shambling zone defined by ranting Mark E Smith vocals, two-note punk basslines, jazz
instrumentation and atonal/free-music manouevres. MM& The P have more vocal presence,
PF do more with conventional rock dynamics. PF, for some reason, remind me a little bit
of Alternative TV. I am TOLD that this was a pressing of 500, but I can't find anything
that confirms that.)
MANUAL SEVEN - The Shattering EP Profane Existance no # NM/NM 5
(1997, Philly. Crust. Has insert. LTD: 1500, OOP.)
(GONADS) MAX N GAL - Delilah EP Razor RZS 103 VG++/NM- 10

Jones chestnut "Delilah".)
MEKONS - Work All Week/Unknown Wrecks Virgin (USA) VS 300 VG+/VG+ 10
(1979., third 45. Shambly pop-punk.)
MEKONS - Snow/ Red Rhino (UK) RED 7 VG++/VG++ 15
(1980, fifth single by these folks. Shambling and noisy, casual brilliance... one side's "punk",
one side's "reggae". "Reggae" side sounds like The Fall playing 'Trem Two'.)
MENACE - Last Year's Youth/ Small Wonder (UK) small 16 @VG++/NM 25
(1979. Fifth 45 by first-out-of-the-gate early street-punk band. Fast & hooky, shout-along
choruses, fanx to Sham on the back cover... A-side's very nice, B-side's okay...)
MISSING PRESUMED DEAD - Say It With Flowers EP Sequel (UK) stVG++/NM- 20
(1979, UK. Tidy, satisfying DIY punk/indie with saxophone. A bit like Glaxo Babies at their most
straightforward.)
MODELS - Freeze/ Step Forward (UK) 3 @VG++/VG++ 20

MOLESTERS - End Of Civilization/ Small Wonder (UK) 18 NM--/NM- 15

MUTANTS - Schoolteacher + 2 EP Rox (UK) 005 stVG+/NM 25
(1978, maybe from Liverpool? Two-chord stoopids with glam-hangover vocals. Unsavory rent-boy/
rough-trade bragging on one side, neanderthal pussyhounding on the other. Red vinyl. Seen on
lists for 75.00 E, but I don't think so.)
MX 80 - Have Another Drink/ Quadruped (no #) VG++/stVG++ 5
(1992. Heavy, sludgy, midwestern psych-punk, good songwriting.)
MYNOCK - 05/19/1999 EP Tortellinni (no #) NM/NM 3
(Sacramento CA, 1999. Neighborhood hardcore band with good chops, intensely earnest personality,
and a bit of humor. Two inserts.)
MYSTERY GIRLS - These Boots Are Made For Walking/Ego Casino (USA) 003 VG++/NM 25
(1983, NYC. Tough 77-79 styled pop-punk. A-side is note for note; they sink their teeth into it,
but you've heard it before... B-side reminds me of Redd Kross, real solid tune.)
