Thanks DanHalen. Yeah thats a sweet lithograph. Ive actually seen the iron/metal sculpture of the indian/horse on ebay. Think it was like $50000.

Just to clarify the Lysol, it was released uncensored without tape. It was pulled after a couple weeks/month and sent back to boner. Thats when the tape and marker were put on all remaining first pressings, then reshipped out and sold through mail order. The second pressings have no tape, just a blank black border on the right side.
Sealed uncensored lysol's have sold in the past, i saw a few on popsike.com
If it were to pop up on ebay again right now, i'd estimate it would go for $300-400.

Definitely my most favorite Melvins release. Im glad i was able to successfully do the job. Hopefully others will attempt it and succeed just like i did.

"I'm Pinkus, he's Mcarthy. Get it together Kokolovich"

the "goo gone" is a much safer product to use than "goof off." Goof off is almost straight up lighter fluid, very potent and would have stained the jacket on contact.

I first used the hair dryer to heat up the glue, get that tape pliable again and so it wont tear off the paper with it. I did that for about 60 seconds.

Second step is to start picking at one corner with a finger nail. I didnt use the tweezers to pick at the corner, i was afraid of the tweezers ripping or slicing the stock. (If I had starting picking at a corner and saw some of the stock being torn, i would have went to another corner. That way, if the stock started to tear I would have left that "tearing" corner for last and hopefully only ripped off a tiny piece of the cardboard stock) I had to be quick with this step cus i didnt want that tape dropping in temperature. Need to keep the adhesive hot.
Once a small portion of the corner was up, I went back to the dryer. Using fingers only again, I started to peel slowly while pointing the dryer at the next part of the tape that was being pulled off. 
Now the temperature from the dryer is going to start to become unbearable. I now switched to the tweezers to hold the tape as i uncover the letter L in lysol.
I just kept pulling down on the tape mm by mm, very slowly. I made it to the O and now the temperature was getting really unbearable. I turned off the dryer for the last L, and i started to notice that some glue residue was leftover, probably cus i ditched the dryer at that point.

At that point I was jumping for joy! No tears on the jackets cardboard stock! A completely perfect "lysol."Ive seen so many censored lysol's with torn jackets from people just trying to rip off the sticker.

Now onto the last steps with the goo gone. I sprayed a little on the tip of my finger, less than a drop. Like put a drop on your finger tip and let the drop fall onto the floor. I rubbed it on the spot that had some glue residue. I quickly got a tissue and removed the excess goo gone. Now it will look like there is a grease stain. I also had a dampened paper towel with water with me. Take a paper towel, wet it, then wring the hell out of it. Take your finger wrap the towel around it. Clean the grease spot the goo gone has left. It comes right off. Then take another dry tissue to get the water off. Then buff away with another dry tissue. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

The only down side i incurred was that the jacket, when you look at it flat on its side, is a little warped. I guess the heat warped the cardboard. I framed mine, so hopefully it will flatten out over time. If it doesn't it really doesn't matter cus you can't tell its warped inside the frame.

I'm super happy with the results and I now have a Melvins holy grail.
albeit a "3rd state" Lysol, not a true "1st state" though.
I'm a huge Beatles fan too, so I definitely compare Lysol to the Beatles butcher cover, lol. 1st state no tape, 2nd state with tape, and 3rd state with tape removed.

Glad to bring the first proper and successful Melvins Lysol "3rd state" to the boards. I hope someone else gives it a try, i would love to see the results.

yeah so i didnt score that shit sandwich however, i got this on ebay for $85.


then i turned it into that with a hair dryer, goo gone, pair of tweezers. It came out perfectly, NO tears to the sleeve and NO glue residue.

I tried getting the black magic marker off the spine, and it wasn't working. I could care less about lysol on the spine though.

if anyone needs some help with theirs ill gladly post my instructions.

i've pretty much come to the realization that i will never own Shit Sandwich. I was working today, set an alarm to remind my myself 5 mins before the auction ended. Went outside to place a mobile bid with 90 seconds left, couldn't connect to ebay, auction ends and shit sandwich sells for $162 
most pissed i've been in a while, for a fucking 7" with nothing on it.
Thanks ATT, and thanks Melvins for making me a complete fuck-tard, chasing every Tchotchke you ever released
Maybe its for the best, keep saving that money.

Oh well

KKK died of pneumonia in jail while awaiting trial for a charge in which he allegedly persuaded a young teenage girl into his car in an apparent abduction attempt.

Kim Thayil voted Melvins

yeah, i asked him. He's bat shit. $100 each.
I didnt even waste my time with a follow-up message on how he came up with those prices, not worth my time.

If anyone has the ballz to step up to the plate...

I need a shit sandwich 7"

U get

All 4 1983 10" variants, freak puke Tara, and a bulls and bees 10"

Pm me or email kreiss97sp@msn.com

after all that tour stuff dropped tonight on amrep, i was able to beef up my stock for trading.

SO i have 3 available 1983 10" (keeping one, still dont know what one i will pick), i have a tara freak puke, original houdini vinyl and a bullhead vinyl.
Im looking for a seawhores/melvins ticket split, and most of all, Melvins Lysol, sleeve must be the uncensored version, and a shit sandwich 7".
Not looking for all of them together obviously, it'll prolly be a 2 for 1 or a 3 for 1 in your favor.
Im feeling lucky
pm or email kreiss97sp@msn.com

wha??? hitler variant? is that a joke? THAT IS FREAKIN awesome if its true!!

no doubt im nuts. could have sworn i haven't seen those up before.
i was GUTTED when i knew i couldn't make it to my nj/nyc show. I had a bad feeling i'd never get the b and b and the 1983 10"
i did find someone to trade their b and b and 1983 10" for my spare houdini and bullhead.
So now i dont have too. I can use all the extra stuff to trade for the stuff i need/dont have.

havent seen this up before either, or am i just nuts?
