Reign Of Terror
Don't Blame Me / Big Things
Label: R.O.T. 51683
Year: 1983

Extremely rare monster from California! "Don't Blame Me" made its comp appearance way back when as a standout track on the "Bloodstains Across California" LP. The band (all members since deceased) notably contained Jesse Fixx of the Stains. This copy is missing the original oversized picture sleeve, but I can provide a high-resolution scan to the winning bidder. The record grades visually VG- (VG minus), with lots of scratches and marks ranging from small scuffs to lines across the entire length of the vinyl. Miraculously, however, since the record was mastered incredibly loud, the songs play through great with no skips or pops and only the faintest of surface noise. This was my copy for years until I recently had the opportunity to upgrade the vinyl, and it was cranked up on the turntable many times with upmost enjoyment. Again, I can't stress enough how difficult this one is to locate — it literally could be years before another copy surfaces. Check out the mp3s below of the entire tracks from the actual vinyl, and keep in mind that it sounds much better blasting from a stereo system than on your computer speakers.

GRADING DETAILS Grading Scale: M, M-, EX, VG+, VG, VG-, G

M (mint)
is reserved for unplayed, flawless stock copies. M- (mint minus) is the highest grade for a record in beautiful shape. EX (excellent) means there's a minor flaw on the sleeve (small crease, price sticker) or disc (fingerprint, harmless scratch). VG+ (very good plus) means a sleeve has minor shop wear — is creased and/or shows a ring impression, and the disc shows cosmetic signs of handling. VG (very good) means not for the anal-retentive. The sleeve shows multiple flaws (sticker tear, seam split, ring wear, rumpled top) and the disc has surface noise (no skips or thunderous pops) and multiple small scratches. VG- (very good minus) means the sleeve is "well loved" with numerous flaws while the vinyl is exhibits many flaws and is noisy. G (good) means the sleeve contains major flaws such as large tears, heavy staining, etc., while the vinyl is beat but playable with no skips. POSTAGE & PAYMENT U.S. shipping:
