Really obscure shambling DIY Post Punk compilation EP. I can find scraps of information about the bands and this compilation scattered over the Messthetics website, and if you dig the Messthetics way of doing things then you'll definitely dig this! Here's some info on the EP:

The Boys and Girls EP began with two bands of 14 and 15-year-olds from The Woodlands School, Profile and First Offence, who'd struck up a gigging relationship with an older band, the Human Cabbages.

The Boys And Girls EP added three other bands from the scene. Profile's Guy Surtees [vox/gtr] took the lead on the business end with Human Cabbages' songwriter/keyboardist Steve Teers, who'd written for the local fanzine Alternative Sounds. Each band contributed a sixth part of the artwork for the poster-sized fold-out. The bands shared financing (£100 each), folded the sleeves -and divvied up 900 records between them.

The EP's general rarity was boosted even further when Rich Elson's entire share got nicked from school.

To our regular customers outside Europe - unfortunately we have had to increase combined postage charges to non-European destinations. We have tried to hold off doing this for a long time but have been losing so much money on these packages that the increase is now unavoidable.

*********DOUBLES COUNT AS TWO*********

---------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SEVEN (7) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
