Description
Classic, mandatory Japanese punk/HC comp here. I've seen countless sellers trying to pawn off the bootleg edition of this record as the original for big bucks, but this is the real deal original with massive fold-out poster sleeve (not the tip-on bootleg cover) and the AA records imprint on the bottom left of the front cover image. And boy, for serious Japanese punk fiends, the poster sleeve is a treasure trove of rare graphics and photos of the legendary bands involved: LAUGHIN' NOSE, MOBS, COBRA, LIP CREAM, OUTO, BAWS, ZOUO, and the grand-poobahs themselves, GISM (The Sakevi artwork and band photo are enough reason alone to own this record), with what are (in my opinion) their two greatest recorded tracks,"Still Alive" and the mind-scorching "Nervous Corps". The whole thing shreds, in fact (with the possible exception of the Baws tracks) especially the raw, early songs from Lip Cream and Outo (I LIKE COLA!!!!) Great record, in great shape, no skips, pops, clean. The poster sleeve is pretty fine as well, no crumples, wrinkles, scuffs, only super-minor issue being two or three of the corner folds are starting to get a little weak from folding/unfolding, but rest assured, this is a really crisp piece. No reserve, bid hard!!!
