Description

 DEATH PIGGY / GWAR
  Love War E.P. 
7" black vinyl EP on D.S.I. Records 1984

Produced by Don Zientara at Inner Ear Studios and Bruce Olson at Floodzone Richmond VA

THE FIRST AND RAREST IN A SERIES OF 3 VERY LIMITED 7" EPs by this pre-GWAR punk rock outfit. Only 300 copies were ever made.  Definitely the hardest-to-find, rarest, and lowest press run of all of their rare releases. 

  I looked on popsike and only saw copies of the later singles.  No copies of this one have seemingly sold in recent years.  This is the only one I've ever held in my own two hands.  The cover is orange and black, but personalized on the LOVE side by the band using what looks like white paint or Wite-out to make the word "Love" stand out.

This is 25 years old. A freakishly rare release, rarely seen for sale, and hardly ever in near mint condition with a NM cover and its original multi-gatefold lyric/art insert, like THIS COPY! 

UNPLAYED VINYL. That's unplayed. As in not placed on a turntable and played. Shiny and lineless.

NM vinyl, NM- cover, plus insert on white paper with black ink featuring Dave Brockie artwork/cartoons! The only fault I can find with the cover is that when it's folded open, you can see a couple of minor creases along the folding edge, but it's something very natural with an item that's a quarter of a century old that folds.  And again, they don't even go through to the outside of the cover.  See the photos!

Eventually, after two more fairly local releases, also with low production runs (that means pressed in low #s), the band was absorbed like an organism into GWAR.  It sounds like a more punk rock version of Gwar, in the hardcore vein, with some nonsense, humor, and metal touches.

A huge score for fans of Killed By Death / kbd collectibles or just collectors of extreme vinyl rarities.

WIKIPEDIA said:

Love War is known as Death Piggy's most popular record with the largest amount of recognizable songs and fan favorites. It made Jello Biafra's list of best Punk rock albums for that year.  This is also Death Piggy's rarest record, due to a misunderstanding with the recording engineer. His payment was never received, so the record was limited to 300 copies.
