It's an Atlantic release, so perhaps one last cash grab before Third Man bring out the Atlantic years records?

I just popped in to my kcal record store to pick up Mike and the Melvins and was chatting to the owner about Record Store Day. Turns out there's going to be a secret 7" that is MC5 and The Melvins doing Rocket Reducer!
I'm not sure if this is a UK only release.
If anyone is going to be looking for it it's a plain, dark front cover (either black or dark brown).

I was going to order this, but shipping to the UK is twice the price of the DVD.
So hopefully it'll make it in to some music stores over here.

It will be available from Amazon; maybe that will be cheaper for postage.

Just picked this up from Amazon UK.
£10 including shipping which saved me £8.
Which I can now spend on drugs and liquor!

The only time I've seen a gun waved around threateningly was in Manchester city centre when we were on our way to a punk show at (I think) the Star & Garter in the early 90s. One small group of lads started dissing another and before you knew it, a gun was produced. I was intrigued but the guy I was with grabbed me, did a rapid 180 and got us out.

Guns have been swapped for hipsters and students, they're fucking everywhere in Manchester now!

In reality they have two Manchester-gigs, since Reading is a part of Greater Manchester. Am I right or am I right? Maffy or Jules, if the latter has unblocked me. 

Reading is a little bit outside Greater Manchester, around 200 miles
Too far to travel on a school night!

What, only nine of them?  Slacker!

Please don't make me go to Manchester, they've got guns.

You'll be fine, I'll hold your hand!

Ticket bought!

HEAD NORTH! Not south!!!

I'm hoping for a few more UK dates..... Can't see it happening though, we've been short changed the past few tours. There's never anything north of Bristol!
