this is a great CD, I'll post a review shortly.
I have yet to hear this album... i really want to get my hands on it
Well, whilst my local Virgin Megastore are convinced it's still available I'm not so sure...can't find any retailer online that still stocks it, however the bloke at the counter suggested that it was still about. It IS deleted, right?
In any case, I now REALLY want to get my ears wrapped around the thing, and wondered if anyone fancied doing a trade for something? I have every official Melvins release bar 'Alive at the Fucker Club' which I could copy for you or if you can suggest a way of cracking Nero, I could burn you the Salad DVD, too. Anyone interested in a trade, or failing that, does anyone know where I could D/L it online or maybe suggest somewhere like Amazon that I might be able to still buy it? Cheers!
The "Your Choice" label is still around although they don't have a web site at the moment. But they soon will as they will be releasing more records soon (hopefully).
The Melvins record is out of print because the band wants it that way.
i think its funny that the melvins are so apethetic about the your choice album. personally i think its great. i have it on cd, so if you wanted to do a beto style b+p, i would be more than happy to send you a copy. and i don't even want to trade.

What makes it more funny is that it was that album they sent me as a welcome present when I joined the Fan Club.
At what point in the set does the "It's Shoved" from the It's Your Choice comp belong? I know there is a bootleg video of this show floating around.
http://www.themelvins.net/forum/index.php?topic=3576.0
The above thread answered my question :D
so are the video( Melvins : 01-23-1991 - Oberhaus - Alzey, Germany) and the live album (your choice live series) taken from the same show? :? i have both the cd both the video.when i listen to the cd it seems to me different than the video...but i'm not sure about this,maybe i'm wrong.anyway....
the set list from the live album is:
heather moves and eyes
at a crawl
anaconda
eye flys
koolegged
tanked (is wispy?)
let god be your gardener
revulsion
if i remember correctly is different also how buzz introduces the first song "heather moves and eyes" in the video and in the live album.
help me
I believe that show was later corrected to be the Febraury 9th show of the same tour, in Villingen-Schwenningen.

MY CHOP LIVER
From http://www.markprindle.com/kingbuzzo-i.htm
Well, I actually - the only I don't have is the Your Choice Live Series one.
Oh, I don't think you need that one.
Really?
Nah.
But it's the only one I don't have.
Okay, you don't have it but do you really need it? Nah. I mean, we might end up re- releasing it soon anyway. It was done right around the time of - after we had recorded Bullhead but before it came out. It was recorded in Europe under adverse circumstances.
What adverse conditions? Was this when Lori -
We just didn't want to do the record! I mean, this guy asked us if we'd let him release a live album and we said we wouldn't do it unless he came up with a certain amount of money. I think it was like two grand, which was an outlandish amount for us at that time. So anyway, we're in Europe and he shows up at the show. This is dirt! This is good!
I'm all ears!
So he shows up with money and I'm like `Oh shit, I forgot about this.' I didn't actually think he'd give us 2 grand. I guess I should have said 50,000! Anyway, so we did it and it's kinda weird. It's okay.
Oh. Just okay?
Yeah, I mean it's fine. It's not gonna make pelvises move or anything.
Uh huh?
But I mean, it's good if you like.. good.
Okay.
If you're into good, it's good.
I see.
No really, it's fine... IT RULES!
Oh wow! So it's awesome? Great, I'll pick it up soon!
Yeah, it's really uh. it's really great!
Prindle is fuckin gold.
Still, this grew on me after a while. I really dig Anaconda and Eye Flys.
I'm assuming it's Dale introducing anaconda? I can't make out some of what is said during this part. Sounds like "its a danube song" or something. Then he says "its called...", and then you can faintly hear some dude in the audience yell "atta crawl!". Followed by the drum intro to Ana.
I really like this album. It was one of my first melvins purchases prolly in 1994.
although it's not official (i guess), this is the best melvins live album

ha, i just listened to your choice yesterday (after a pretty long time) again and i have to agree it is one of their best live albums. i still like fucker club a tad more though.
Best live album for me is pick your battles the '89 show.
It changed the way I heard Ozma. Every other live recording I had heard of oven was faster than the Ozma version until pyb. All the songs seemed slower and more abrasive. And the fact that they played at punk central Berkley with a quiet crowd is comical. Bless Walsby for that gem.
You can easily find a copy of this LP here: Discogs.com
I have this album on CD and Vinyl. Its gotta to be one of the greatest live albums ever. It's fuckin brilliant!

Since I owned YCLS before I heard gluey porch treatments, for years I thought the song was called
Heather moves and eyes due to the misspell on the track listing.
Also, when I heard the original gluey version I realized the song didn't end right after the guitar solo. A pleasant surprise.
I bought it on our holiday in Germany and when we came home I immediately listened to it and now I have a problem.
Should I love a girl who won´t ever love me back, because I´m her best friend or should I love this just frickin great vinyl?
I´m going for both.
And hell, this lp is just brilliant.
I mean....just listen to the drums. They´re fucking huge! And everything else is huge, too!
The songs are perfect!
When I first read that there´d be Revulsion on it, I didn´t believe it. But hell yes, it´s just great.
And Eye Flys is just great. My fav live version so far!
I just love this great piece of music.

It sounds like me Dale saying "It's a dandy of a song" and the guy in the crowd yelling "Melvins rule!"
love this release^
great sound. 8)
best live album ever...you can tell the guy knew how to record a live show

I'm guessing that's Tobby Holzinger.
It's the only name on the entire CD package.
I could check the Steel Pole Bath Tub or Shudder To Think discs, or wiki,
but I'm lazy. :P
What a killer set! Eye Flys Buzz is a guitar GOD!
One of my first Melvins purchases. Still the best version of Heater Moves leading into At A Crawl. Fell in love with Dale's drumming with those songs.
If I remember correctly it's miss labeled on the album as Heather moves and eyes.
I recently found a vinyl pressing of this at a flea market. I just kept saying "This shouldn't be here..."

best live album ever
yeah i still cant get over how killer this album is. this is easily the BEST album before eggnog sound wise. i cant believe buzz doesnt care for it. does he realize this is the ONLY gateway to the past for those of us who werent alive for this era?
this is the ONLY album of the lori era aside from eggnog that doesnt sound like dog shit to me. i love the songs in the dogshit albums of course, but the quality of this even surpasses bullhead and they not only didnt PAY for it, the got PAID for it! this to me seems like the melvins greatest achievement as a band they should be proud as fuck for this one! im gonna give buzz a piece of my mind in may hahaha
seriously this album is almost as good as the sound of eggnog (which to me is the holy grail) and possibly better that lysol. the kick in lysol is the holy grail and this/eggnog is the holy grail for the rest. it has the raw sound but theres not flaws. like flawless rawness. you cant top that! well i guess you could if lysols kick was in this and eggnog and eggnog/this snare was in lysol. then release the three as a single release like they did and it would be the greatest release in history as far as im concerned.
