This excellent record is out of print and very scarce. Cover is VG+ minor ringwear and a small sticker mark.
Vinyl is NM. very clean and shiny.
You could probably buy a copy with a shinier cover from his website ($500).
this is unlike anything you have ever heard.



from the man himself:

1981. I formed a band with one of the other guys from the band Gray whose name then was Wayne Richard Clifford. He calls himself Justin Time now. I still call him Wayne. He doesn't like it. Anyway, our band name was Bohack. Wayne's girlfriend Claudia was also in the band. We did a record on my label Family Friend Records. Francesco Clemente did the cover art. It's a rare record. So dark, it's hard to listen to. Got one crazy fan letter from that album. Why are all my fans weird? Can't pretty girls like me? Bohack played one live gig. At Howie Montague's non entiendes cabaret at Danceteria. We played just one song, that was the concept. Wayne played with an old dirty rag shoved up his ass and no clothes on. Claudia Porcelli, the girl in the band, was also naked. I chopped up a bunch of hair off dolls and glued them all to her crotch and formed the biggest bush in the world. I also drew giant breasts on her naked chest. Boy was she sexy. And she smelled nice. I stole a sock off a bum's foot and taped it around my penis. Long before the Chili Peppers thought of it. This was 1981. That night, right after the show, the band broke up. I don't remember why. From that show, Wayne got a hemorrhoid. Claudia got eaten out. And I got asked to do the music for Eric Mitchell's last film, The Way It Is, which was also the first film I acted in along with Steve Buscemi and Rockets Redglare. There's a vinyl pressing of that soundtrack. It's worth getting, if I should say so myself.
