Description
Clean copy. This is the very first OFFSPRING release ever!!!! It`s the super hard to find original first pressing, released on the private mini-punk label “Black Label” records in 1986 (just think...That`s twenty years ago!!!!). At that time, OFFSPRING weren’t able to find a label willing to release their music and so they resorted to the same tactics as many who had gone before them and employed the DIY ethic and set up the “Black Label”. The really great A-sider is titled “I’ll Be Waiting”. The powerful Hardcore/Punk soundalike smasher on the flip is called “Blackball”. With all counted, only 1.000 copies were made but only 500 of these were bestowed the honour of a picture sleeve. Believe it or not, it took them over 2 years to sell the 1,000 copies which are now, 20 years later rare as hell and if I had them all would sell no doubt this week, such is the great demand for this piece of Punk Rock history!! This thunderbolt was produced by The OFFSPRING and Jim Dotson and recorded by the same at South Coast Recordings. This is back when OFFSPRING were an underground and unknown band, a long long time before “Come Out And Play” made it big and “Smash” became the best selling independent album in history!! OFFSPRING sound like T.S.O.L. This is back when Dexter Holland called himself “B.Holland” and Noodles used the name “Child C-2017”. Sooo rare. The vinyl is in near perfect condition (superclean copy). The sleeve is in excellent condition although please note:There is a tear on front of the sleeve (see scan). Airmail postage/packaging for 1-4 singles outside Germany is the same price (5,50 Euro for Europe and 9 Euro for the Rest Of The World). Payment: Europeans via paypal or by bank transfer. Overseas via paypal only. German customers should send the money to my bank account. Please add five percent to the total if you send the payment via paypal, thanks.
