We will ship ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. $6 US $7 Canada $10 overseas
Featuring a large lyric insert in beautiful condition.
Minor wear to cover, but overall, it's at least in VG+/EX condition according to Goldmine grading standards. Very light ringwear, a light crease on one corner, and slight browning to the white cover. All expected wear, much lighter than they probably should be after 19 years!
The vinyl itself looks like it's only been played a couple of times. VERY light wear, really probably stronger than the EX category, and veering toward NM-. It's a beautiful example of this hard-to-find local release. We used to have oodles of this baby, but now we only see one a year or so. I sold my personal copy recently, and this one was owned by a Reptilian confidante, so I know its legacy. Here's the funny part. The guy who owned it, like most folks here in the store, was friends with the band, so there was a post-it note inside with Dan Littleton's phone number on it. I guess we shouldn't sell it to you with that in it, though I'm sure it's changed in the last decade plus.
The Hated was an Annapolis, Maryland punk rock band from 1985 to 1990. The original members were Mike Bonner, Erik Fisher, Daniel Littleton, and Colin Meeder. The Hated are known as one of the earliest Emo bands.
After an early start as a parody of some of the DC hardcore scene's more rockist tendencies, the band's music quickly became more serious, more musically complicated that that of many of their contemporaries and followers, including melodic basslines, vocal harmonies and guitar playing (and tunings) borrowed from folk music, and drumming often more reminiscent of Keith Moon of the Who than most punk and post-punk drumming. The lyrics were complicated as well, occasionally containing bibilical allusions or phrases in French and German.
The original line-up recorded lasted until the fall of 1985, when Bonner was replaced by Kenny Hill of the Spastic Rats and Meeder was replaced by John Irvine. This version of the group recorded two of the Hated's best known works, the "Like the Days" ep and the sessions that were later released as the "What Was Behind" lp (this lp release has since been disowned by the band, as it was mastered at the wrong speed). Irvine left the band around the beginning of 1987; he was replaced first by Erik Fisher's brother Jason and then by Colin Meeder, who re-joined in early 1988.
After the dissolution of the Hated, Littleton and Meeder went on to form Three Shades of Dirty and were members of the band Slack with Jenny Toomey. Littleton was later a member of Liquorice with Toomey and appeared on Lisa Loeb's Tails. Littleton is currently a member of Ida.
The Hated's works are currently all out-of-print. A comprehensive compilation is said to be forthcoming from Troubleman Unlimited; this has, however, been delayed for several years.

WIKI says: You will like this, no matter who you are. Buy it. Reptilian loves you and your money!
See the photo(s). Sorry about my hand in the shots, (if it is), but I try to NEVER LAY THE VINYL DOWN ON ANYTHING, unlike lots of sellers, who FREAKIN' lay records down on tables and things to photograph them! We give them all the very clean hand or WHITE GLOVE TREATMENT, as you see in the photos, and take the pics with someone holding the vinyl in the air, never touching it, pulling it carefully from its sleeve. Whatever we sell you is going to be in the best shape possible. We're all collectors and know that other collectors appreciate the extra mile. I mean, there may be a smoker in the building, but he doesn't blow it into the records, and we handle them as if they might explode! (Although they won't, postal person, we promise)
If you get your record and think it doesn't stand up to what we said in our auction, contact Johnny or Noel here, point your finger to this part of the auction, send us back your win, and we'll send you back your money. It's that easy, sleazy. Bid knowing you're safe in our nasty little hands.
And as I said before, we like to grade conservatively, so you end up being happy with what you get. It's like a surprise! And we start auctions low so you could end up winning a rare collectible for next to nothing. Good luck!
This is a vinyl record, NOT A CD. You play it on a turntable. That's an arcane device that spins plastic around and around at a constant speed and a diamond on the end of a stick scrapes at it and makes noise that you hopefully enjoy.
Have a good time bidding. Maybe you can get it for a steal. Good luck. Hopefully you'll get it for a good price. If you have any questions, fire 'em at us! Happy emo screamo punkrock sXe!
If you buy up to two items, the postage stays the same. Over that, we tack on a dollar for each item. Unless we're feeling rich on that particular day.
We will ship this ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
