Apparently these were for Record Store Day, but they’re so good who cares if they’re a bit late.
Snapper includes poster and original press release. Released originally on Flying Nun records in 1988. Snapper became synonymous for shows as diverse and osculating as their lineup. Snapper EP captures one of the earliest forms in all their space-freak-out glory.

Early Flying Nun release (1984) of The Bat’s first release. Forming new years eve 1982 by Bob Scott (The Clean), Paul Keane (Toy Love), Kaye Woodward and Malcolm Grant The Bats became of Flying Nun’s strong holds with a catalog and influence spanning over thirty years. By Night’ establishes The Bats driven jangle sound that would find a mainstream audience some 10 years later and continue to influence bands today.
“The Sleaze truly don’t give a fuck about anyone or anything other than themselves. Everywhere they go they leave behind a trail of bad decisions, broken promises, unhonored debts, damaged property, innumerable cans of Mountain Crest with shotgun holes punched in the bottom, and—redeeming it all—a bunch of timeless songs that will be cranked out of broken speakers for as long as there are still dirtbags out there making a mess of their lives through punk rock. Tektonik Girls is the Sleaze in all of their damaged glory. Buy this record and it will shatter your soul.”—Steve Borchardt

LP MILK MUSIC Cruise Your Illusion
Combining the driving hooks of the Wipers, slashing riffs of Hüsker Dü, and melodic-on-the-edge-of-control vocals of early Dinosaur Jr., MILK MUSIC reinvent early- to mid-’80s SST-style hardcore punk and ‘90s lo-fi Pacific Northwest influences for a new generation.

The Tav Falco Panther Burns Reissue/Remaster-series, Part II.! This one contains the Sugar Ditch Revisited EP (1985) and The Shake Rag EP (1986). Plus a previously unreleased 11-song/45 minute live show from the Messepalast Vienna from 1989. Pristine recording by the ORF!
2XLP FLYNT, HENRY Graduation
HENRY FLYNT took a high-brow approach to so-called low-brow music. Combining sounds from his native North Carolina with an avant-garde sensibility honed in New York City’s loft scene in the 1960s, FLYNT created what he describes as “new American ethnic music.” As a student of Hindustani singer Pandit Pran Nath alongside La Monte Young and Terry Riley, an associate of the Fluxus movement, and even a live collaborator with THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, FLYNT was a part of one of the 20th century’s richest art and music milieus.
LP GRUPPO DI IMPROVVISAZIONE NUOVA CONSONANZA Musica Su Schemi
In the early 1970s, Franco Evangelisti assembled Gruppo Di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, a collective of Italian composers that included Ennio Morricone on trumpet. Gruppo aspired to revolutionize composition through group improvisation and—like their peer, Karlheinz Stockhausen—musique concrète, aleatory (controlled chance) techniques and early electronic music. One significant influence in the studio was their use of chess to define key parameters of their music. Musica Su Schemi is unpredictable, fluid and always marked by a tension between the performers and their conscious rejection of traditional forms. Each member of Gruppo would establish themselves as important figures in 20th century music, though no others gained the notoriety of Morricone. Nonetheless, Gruppo’s influence on modern composition endures. As composer / saxophonist John Zorn explains, “[They] were instrumental in founding a radical tradition of Western musical improvisation that owed little or nothing to anybody and created some of the strangest music ever made.”

They sound remotely like the combination of the aforementioned acts. This is their second record.

7″ URINALS Sex / Go Away Girl
Hailing from the late-’70s underground of Los Angeles, The Urinals were often called “the American Wire” for their graceful tension, wild energy and trademark brevity. Recorded with a sole microphone and guitar / bass running through a single amplifier, their debut 1978 EP defies its limitations while defining The Urinals’ unique aesthetic. “Dead Flowers,” “Hologram” and “Last Days of Man on Earth” are not simply classic songs, they are venerable punk haiku—raw and unrestrained. RECOMMENDED! On limited coloured vinyl, expensive but worth every penny!
What a great Record Store Day! Thanks everyone for coming out. We’ve now got money to do some serious re-stocking. Couple of RSD items to come this Friday, including the Flaming Lips “Zaireeka” 4 LP Box set, Thee Oh Sees “Moon Sick” EP and At The Drive-In “Relationship Of Command”. Not many of each title, so you might wanna give us a buzz before you travel from Griffith or something just to give us a death stare. PLUS! We are open from 12pm on Anzac day tomorrow.
Here’s a quick run down of everything that will be arriving in the same box.
