Francesco De Masi - (2013) The New York Ripper LP
Directed and co-written by Lucio Fulci, the film is about a psychopathic knife-wielding killer that sports a grotesque duck voice. It was originally released in 1982, but was banned in many countries because of its gratuitous violences and nudity. The score of the film was done by the Italian composer Francesco De Masi, combining elements of disco funk and Latin music. De Masi manage to capture the sleazy pre-Disney clean up of New York perfectly with the use of moody sax breaks and a 42nd street atmosphere. The LP comes pressed on 180-gram green & yellow duck vinyl house in a heavyweight casebound tip-on Jacket. The LP also includes a poster and 4 page booklet with exclusive liner notes by Stephen Thrower and Nick Percival.
H100s - (1994) Dismantle 12''
Campbell said ''Dismantle must be one of the greatest punk records of the 90's. Filthy sounding misanthropic hardcore punk amongst a sea of white wndbreakers, krishna beads and back packs. In fact dismantle is my favorite US punk record of the 90s (yep I prefer it to infest, no comment, citizens arrest or whatever else you can come up with). The vocals are so wild and the riffs are killer. What else would I want from a hardcore punk record.''
H100s - (2010) Live In Cleveland 1995 LP
H-100's live April 2nd, 1995 at Peabody's Down Under in Cleveland, Ohio
No! No! No! Believe it or not this isn't another shitty live punk record to cash in on all of you gay hardcore collector nerds! I've been holding this baby in my greasy mitts for almost 15 years. It is one of my all time favorite live punk recordings. This is a record that captures a band in it's truest, rawest form. Call it part luck, call it what you will. In my opinion, this live H-100's recording not only sounds better than all of their studio recordings previously released, it also captures the tension, humor, hatred and brilliance of these mongoloids perfectly. There's been thousands of paint by the numbers hardcore bands in the last 25 years, but a band this original comes along once a decade, if ever. They broke the mold!
Ironically, the lineup for this gig was Integrity, 25 Ta Life, Apt. 213, One Life Crew (2nd show) and H-100's. Talk about not fitting in. But that's how it was back them. Enjoy this Fucker! Let me contradict myself for a second. Hey collector nerds! There are only 500 made (200 on shit brown vinyl, 300 on black) so get it now!!! Hand silk screened covers. It will never happen again.
Sexual Milkshake - (1992) ST LP
Formed in the late 1980s in Harrisonburg, VA, Sexual Milkshake originally consisted of three members: Sexua, Lmil, and Kshake (also known as Greg Allen, Chris Callahan, and Todd/Rusty Massie, respectively). Their musical philosophy could best be summed up in a comment Greg Allen once tossed off: "Tune schmoon, just play!" Too dumb to be called art rock and too smart to be called retarded rock, Sexual Milkshake walked the fine line that separated clever and stupid. The only conventional aspect of this band was the fact that they lived out the alt rock cliché of having a female bassist, a role originally filled by Ame Dread and later by Jill Murphy. After releasing a 7" on the influential Teenbeat label, they went on to release a full-length CD and LP titled Sing Along in Hebrew on the same label. Sexual Milkshake deserves a place in the footnotes of rock & roll history for their extravagant product packaging as much as their twisted musical creations. For example, their lead singer invented what he dubbed the "Gregtar," an unwieldy monstrosity of a guitar that was comprised of two guitar bodies attached to both ends of a guitar neck. Each end contained a separate pickup that could be plugged into a different amplifier. Sexual Milkshake are also noteworthy because their CD and LP are among the most lavishly packaged albums of all time. Sing Along in Hebrew contains a 12-page tabloid-sized booklet, chopsticks, a 3-D poster of the band, 3-D gorilla glasses with a scratch & sniff banana, a '60s-style nudie matchbook, a mermaid drinking glass companion, and -- oh yeah -- the record. After a moderately successful four-year career, the band stopped playing together in 1993. Drummer Chris Callahan co-founded Blast Off Country Style in 1992, and Todd/Rusty Masse formed the Gollypops with fill-in Sexual Milkshake bassist and ex-Blast Off Country Style member Phil Sweeney.
