TUMOR CIRCUS
Recently I have been listing Hardcore classics from the nineties that in my opinion are under appreciated and due for reappraisal.
If you check out my other Hardcore listings, I go into a bit of detail, on why this became the case.
This record is definitely an under appreciated classic, but for different reasons than the other bands, who just weren't as well known.
In the world of Hardcore you don't get any more famous than the legendary and dynamic front man, of one of the best bands of all time, THE DEAD KENNEDYS, and I am of course refering to the living legend JELLO BIAFRA.
I feel that this album was mainly overlooked and not as greatly collected as his other albums. This might be because that it was not released under his name, or any of his other band's names like Guatemala School Of Medicine or Lard.
This a real shame as Jello was on top, humourous, yet political form, in conjunction with Grong Grong and Steel Pole Bath Tub.
TUMOR CIRCUS
ALTERNATIVE TENTACLES
1991
SLEEVE IS VERY NICE INDEED, VERY LIGHT SHELF WEAR AROUND THE EDGES, AND VERY LIGHT RING WEAR ON THE FRONT COVER. NONE OF THIS IS OVERBEARING.
SPINE IS FULLY INTACT AND THE PUMPKIN COVER WILL LOOK GREAT IN ANY PUNK COLLECTION.
RED HYPE STICKER ON THE FRONT COVER IS FULLY INTACT.
DETACHED LYRIC/PHOTOGRAPHY INSERT IS ALSO INCLUDED. I HAVE SEEN THIS MISSING ON A FEW COPIES, KEEP THIS IN MIND IF YOU ARE BUYING ELSEWHERE.
THIS ALBUM WAS RELEASED WITH A CHERRY RED CATOLOUGE. THIS IS PART OF THIS RELEASE AND HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM ALMOST ALL OF THE OTHER COPIES THAT I HAVE SEEN. THIS COPY HAS ALL THE ORIGINAL BITS. IF ANY OF THESE ARE MISSING THEN TUMOR CIRCUS, IS NOT COMPLETE AND NOT AS COLLECTIBLE.
HANDCRAFTED ETCHINGS IN THE MATRIX FADE OUT ARE LIVELY AND INTERESTING.
THE ALTERNATIVE TENTACLES CHERRY RED COLOURED PAPER LABELS ARE ICONIC AND COOL.
THE SKULL PAPER LABELS ON THE OTHER SIDE IS ALSO REALLY EYE CATCHING, ICONIC AND COOL.
THE VINYL HAS TO BE SEEN, TO BE BELIEVED. IT HAS NO VISIBLE MARKS OR HAIRLINES AND HAS A NICE, SATISFYING RARELY PLAYED LOOKING QUALITY.
THIS IS NOT MODERN ERA 180GM VINYL REISSUES THAT EVERYONE AND THEIR GRANNIES THESE DAYS IS COLLECTING. THIS IS THE REAL DEAL, AN ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING FROM WAY BACK IN 1991, THAT IS TOTALLY INTACT AND IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION.
I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THIS RECORD WILL APPRECIATE MUCH HIGHER IN VALUE, WHEN IT IS REAPPRAISED BY THE MUSIC PRESS. THIS IS WHEN IT WILL SKY ROCKET IN VALUE. IT'S JUST TOO COOL TO REMAIN, A HARDCORE SECRET FOREVER.
THESE LOST, UNDER APPRECIATED HARDCORE CLASSICS FROM THE NINETIES, WILL NOT STAY BURIED FOREVER, DEAD KENNEDY FAN'S WILL EVENTUALLY BRANCH OUT A BIT, AND HUNT OUT OTHER RECORDS BY JELLO BIAFRA. THIS ALONE, WILL EVENTUALLY PUSH UP THE PRICE OF DEAD KENNEDYS RELATED MATERIAL.
MY ADVICE IS TO COLLECT THESE UNDER APPRECIATED HARDCORE CLASSICS, NOW, WHILE THEY ARE STILL AFFORDABLE.
A COOL VAULT LISTING
