NOTES:Chicago’s Naked Raygun was one of the encouraging new punk bands that bloomed in the Midwest long after thrash had apparently isolated the punk aesthetic in its own circumscribed ghetto, where it would never again challenge the musical values of regular folk. Lump the longer-running Raygun in with Hüsker Dü, Man Sized Action, Big Black and Breaking Circus and you’ll be oversimplifying, but you’ll have your finger on an early-’80s movement of sorts. All of these bands expanded the boundaries and cast aside some of the trappings of punk to bring it back into contact with the mainstream. If none of them ever attained huge success, all at least appealed to adventurous people who don’t have mohawks.Throb Throb‘s songs are much better, its drive more urgent and Haggerty’s piercing guitar lines a sonically expansive, sharp force. Even at low volume, the album is loud. The best track, “I Don’t Know,” is a grippingly melodic art-punk anthem that turns on singer/plumber Jeff Pezzati’s anti-idol wail, “What poor gods we do make.” A potent, impressive album.
Shipping in the USA is $4.99 for 1st 45 and 25 cents for each additional 45/7" vinyl.
Grading: I visual grade only by Goldmine Standards under bright lights. I do not have time to listen to all the records from start to finish but I will sample them to make sure there is no unbearable static or if I see a questionable mark, I will test it. I will sell mostly records in VG+ condition or better but will sell a small amount VG records. Anything below VG will be a harder to find or scarce record.
Grading is as follows: Near-Mint, Excellent (VG++), Very Good Plus, Very Good.
SHIPPING: UNITED STATES: 1st LP within the USA is $4.99 and 50 cents for each additional.
International SHipping will be based on weight. I pack the vinyl in padded mailers and take the vinyl outside of the jacket to prevent seam splits.
