Description

🔥 RARE SIGNED FIRST PRESSING: THE DANIEL REY CONNECTION 🔥

For the serious punk historian, this is a truly unique find. This is a First Pressing of Shrapnel’s 1979 debut single, "Combat Love," and it is signed on the reverse by lead guitarist Daniel Rabinowitz.

Why this is special: Daniel Rabinowitz would soon become known to the world as Daniel Rey. He went on to become the quintessential Ramones collaborator—producing several of their albums and co-writing some of their most iconic tracks. This early signature using his birth name is a rare artifact from the dawn of his career in the NYC punk scene.

Condition Report

  • Vinyl: Near Mint (NM). High-gloss luster, looks unplayed. This is a pristine archive-quality disc.

  • Sleeve: Near Mint (NM). Crisp, sharp, and clean. The signature ("To Judi, Daniel Rabinowitz") is clear and bold on the back cover.

Historical Context: Shrapnel was the "Brat Patrol" of the Jersey/NYC scene, managed by Legs McNeil (founder of PunkMagazine) and featuring future Monster Magnet frontman Dave Wyndorf. This record also features uncredited backing vocals by Joey Ramone.
