[Beto Brasil]

Recorded live to 2 track at Ironwood,february 8, 1986.

is that cover in Neither here or there with the spider and the cobweb saying the melvins also a cd?

Hello! I have a question about 10 songs. I always thought Gluey Porch treatments were Melvins debut album. Then in 91 (?) C/Z issued the 8/10 songs album/cd. However, was this record originally released in 86??? I know about the 6 songs ep released in 86 (different recordings). Was the 91 record the first time those other exact RECORDINGS  were released and if that's the case, why do people refer to 10 songs as Melvins debut album?

as far as i knew that 8 songs record was released in 86 too, then they re-released it on cd in 91 with the extra two tracks.  if i were you i'd ask the people at czrecords, http://www.czrecords.com/contact.php

I'm quite sure that both 8 songs and 10 songs were released in '91. At least the sleeve (of my copy) of 8 songs says '91.
AND it fits in with the discography printed in Melvins Newsletter #1 (WHICH I HAVE!!!!).

[brian]

so they waited that long to release those versions?  that is rather curious.  of course releasing 6 songs and 8 songs in the same year would be rather odd to do as well.  do you know which session occurred first?

This bit is taken from the PITW issue you have on your site, Brian:

hey, he is a card-carrying member of the melvins army after all.

[turnacus]

is the spiderweb cover the album with mark dillard or whoever

[brian]

so what songs aren't on 8 songs?  the last two on the cd?

[DubEMC]

If I remember the 2 instrumentals " Crayfish " and " Over from Underground " were not on " 8 Songs ".

[brian]

can anyone confirm that for me?

[blacksanta]

I can confirm it Brian. I have held 8 Songs in my hand a couple of times. Over from Underground and Crayfish are only on the 10 Songs CD. You can poke around on the net for some pics and songlists, I have seen it listed in some discographies.

[anaconda]

it was all part of the larger concept brian!.

Melvins
6 songs 7" / 8 songs LP / 10 songs CD
1986
c/z records. cz 002 / 8 / 10 tracks / 1991

Reissue LP has two bonus tracks, CD has 4 bonus tracks.

Debut EP; early live recording (feb 8 1986), but it's all there: powerful slow motion hardcore, well played & produced. [8].
