No idea if it's real and I'm sure uberharcores have already heard it if it is but some dude uploaded the Melvin's 1985 demo tape.
is the tora tora tora box set even worth trying to find?
Isn't this that obscure "cowboy" split they did? I'm going totally off Mark Prindle's description, never heard itYeah, Cowboy is the best to date. Melvins on one side - between-song rants about stage diving building up to a hilarious finale. Smelly Mustafa (Plainfield) on the other side, ranting and raving. Released on Smelly's label; there's usually plenty available on Discogs from around $20.
Jules what's the Relationship between Smelly (stupid question but is Smell actually Trey Spruance?) and King Buzzo, PLainfield released numerous Seven inches and I heard that Smelly was Roadie for the Melvins for a time and Buzz Has some credit on plainfield here and there along with many other well known names... was this around the same time Buzz put something out on his own Label "fuck you" records? and whats up with that Label exactly?
PS. Jules, If you ever want to trade some music, I'd really love to have a copy of all the plainfield stuff because they're awesome. I had a couple Cassettes taped off the seven inches I had about four of them, but the tapes AWOL for years with a lot of things...when you have a massive Cassette collection things tend to disappear from time to time...whether or not thats "friends" helping themselves, you know?

Although technically, I bought Deep Six before that.
Must have been a cool record shop.
This Boner reissue sucks....again. I've really had it with them. What's the coolest thing about vinyl? To me clearly the size of the cover artwork. And what do they do? They make the acutal art smaller (why on Earth would you do that????), put an ugly frame around it, and as a last straw pair it with another release, which I already have in its original form (Ozma). Now a second chance to make it right - and they fuck it up again. Before ordering, I just had a quick look on Discogs and the Bullhead reissue seemed to look fine. Unfrotunately, they have uploaded the original artwork, not the, as they proudly(?) call it, updated art. When my LP arrived, I wanted to throw it right out of the window. They made the letters bigger and the art smaller (again, WHY???), gave it a duller shade of blue than the original (or my bootleg, which I wanted to replace), and to top it off, there is a pink smudge on the front cover (I asked my dealer, and the other copy he has, has the same issue). How can you botch so many things at a time? Was it a wager or something? Beats me.
Third Man did it better, but not perfect either. What's cool about physical releases? The credits in the booklet/on the sleeve. So why did they remove the credits from the Stag reissue??? Makes no sense. And it's not really cool towards all the people who were metioned there.
Do the Melvins deserve these shitty reissues? I don't think so.
