Review from FLEX!:

 " First release by the noise rock band featuring Jon Spencer and Julia Cafritz. A bit closer to their punk roots - they’re greeting Ian [MacKaye] and Jeff [Nelson] on the sleeve, and “HC Rebellion” is a stomping punk song - but most of this is already the grinding, crazy, noisy stuff they’re known for; even though bands like Flipper or Hose had done similar things before, in 1985 this was still truly innovative. [7]   "

From Pop-catastrophe.uk website:

" Black vinyl 7" single in black and white wraparound sleeve and white paper die-cut inner-sleeve with Shove Records  D.C. address stamped on the top edge. "

" On some occasions the address on the rear sleeve inked-out by hand (which is probably on copies sold after the band moved to New York) and some have the address in what appears to be printed as black text on black background. "

" The release date according to a Record Collector on Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and Pussy Galore was October 1985. Although in an article from Conflict #42 (August 1986) they say that the record was released in January of that year which seems more likely as it was only recorded on 14th October 1985. "

" The first thing Pussy Galore ever did; we practiced twice before this session. For HC Rebellion, Julie read from the letters section of 'Maximum Rock 'n Roll'. Recorded in somebody's living room. Oct. 14, '85" - Sleeve notes to Corpse Love."

Well, after 30 years of collecting hardcore vinyl I never thought this day would come. After switching to CD in the 1990s and then to MP3 in the 2000s, I can't justify keeping my collection any longer so I offer it to you. I started collecting back in 1982 in the San Francisco Bay area where most of my records were purchased new. I moved to Florida in 1986 and still collected up unto the late 1990s. 

I have always treated my records with the most care. None of my original records are less then very good condition and most are in near mint condition. I did collect many used records over the years and also got many from friends that did not treat them so well. Those records will be described in detail as well.  All records will be shipped with a protective plastic sleeve, vinyl removed from cover to protect spine during shipping and 12 inch records will be packaged in a LP designed cardboard mailer. 7 inch records will be packaged in comparable cardboard packaging. Only the best for my old records!

Please check my other auctions for many other killer original hardcore and punk classics all this year!

Over 300 records from 1977-1993 will be up for auction until all sold.

If you have any questions or want an Excel spreedsheet of my collection feel free to email me.

My grading:

MINT (M): New in original un-opened packaging, perfect, never played and like new in every way. I probably won't have many of these since all were played at least once & covers moved around for decades.

NEAR MINT (NM): Opened and played very few times, only very minor visual imperfections. Super clean cover.

EXCELLENT (EX): Played lightly and well cared for, a few light scuffs. Cover may have a few creases or imperfections. Still a very clean record and cover.

VERY GOOD (VG): Has scuffs or light scratches and noticeable signs of heavier wear and handling. Cover may have more visible wear, small rips or small seam splits.

GOOD (G): Has many scuffs and scratches, signs of heavy wear and handling. Cover shows obvious marks, creases, rips, tape, seam splits or wear, labels ripped or written on. Basically not cared for. (these records were the ones I purchased used or received from friends).

+/-: If I have a hard time putting either record or cover into a solid grade.

I am happy to offer a refund where the item does not match my description.
