Bio: (From 7inchpunk.com) An underrated classic! Not sure what version this one is, ive seen the sleeve without the logo coloured in.
Longlive the Doghouse tapes, those were the days.
Heres what Erik had to say to us about the EP and the coloured vs the non coloured versions…
If you bought it directly from us, then it would probably be one of the first ones. I remember coloring in the first 500 or 1,000 stickers by hand because we couldn’t afford two color printing. That got really boring, and we gave up at some point. I don’t particularly remember about the covers being colored in however, though that probably would have been our intention if we could have afforded it. Though, now I’m glad it wasn’t, because we get a disturbing number of add requests from the far right wing, which is why I removed the red, white and black logo from our main photo. I think the stickers were only in the first pressing of 1,000 and cost about $40 to make, which was a lot for us at the time, planning a tour and all, so we didn’t have any more printed. Recording was done at Trullion Studios in Sacramento on 8 track Teac reel-to-reel decks with Shure 57s and 58s. Gear was simple. Stuart had a brand new Ludwig 4 piece drumset, Kevin had a custom Les Paul thing and the new Kramer Eddie Van Halen guitar with the just-out locking tremolo unit into a Fender Princeton Reverb II, and I played an Ibanez P-bass direct into the board, and then overdubbed all the bass parts with one of those 300 watt Acoustic bass heads plugged into an early ’70s SVT cabinet that was lent to me by Mike Palmer from Mumbo Gumbo. We really didn’t know what we were doing, but we just kind of did what felt and sounded right. It’s pretty hard to correctly recall how inexperienced and completely full of crap we were at the time, but I actually like the EP a lot more now because I was going to high school more than full time - music theory being after school, then practicing 5 afternoons a week with RT, washing dishes five nights a week at the Old Spaghetti Factory, recording on weekends and playing gigs - oh and a girlfriend too. At this point all the bad feelings have faded and we get along much better than the first couple of years after calling it quits.

ORIGIN/PROVENANCE: My friend Corey Rusk, who runs Touch & Go Records (and formerly of The Necros), has been cleaning out his storage space and has realized that he really doesn't have any more room for the all doubles and triples of many of the rare records in his collection. He's busy running Touch and Go and doesn't have the time to deal with selling his extras... but they do need to go. So he asked me to help him sell them off. And of course, as a long time friend of Corey and and fan of Touch and Go Records (along with being a 10+ year eBay seller with a perfect feedback rating of 1600+), I jumped at the chance.
I'll be auctioning approximately 1500+ items so please stay tuned.....
Be sure to check out my other items for sale!
I also recently put up about 20 different rare posters!
New items will be listed every Sunday (unless I'm out of town).
PAYMENT: Paypal only. Or so sez eBay.
SHIPPING: The record will be housed between two pieces of cardboard and then put inside a sturdy mailer. If you live inside the US, tracking is provided free of charge. Outside of the US, airmail rates apply. IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE THE US, DO NOT PAY UNTIL I SEND YOU AN INVOICE! eBay's international shipping calculator frustrates me. Insurance is ADDITIONAL and strongly recommended (especially if you live in Italy!).
And yes, I'll be happy to combine shipping. It saves your money and my time!
