PLEASE READ ITEM DESCRIPTION, VIEW ALL PHOTOS AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK BEFORE BUYING. I will happily answer all questions to the best of my knowledge and will supply you with specific photos if requested. PLEASE NOTE: Depending upon the camera and time of day I took the photos the colors may vary from shot to shot. Reds can look pink, greens can look yellow, so PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTIONS . For the 45s, I scanned the labels and the sleeves to give you an accurate color representation. CHECK OUT MY OTHER PUNK LISTINGS! I am listing a number of items from my Los Angeles punk scene days in the 1970s and early 1980s. They hold great memories for me, but now it?s time to sell them to someone who will appreciate them rather than risk having them thrown out by people who don?t know nothin' some day at an estate sale!
I bought these records when they first came out and have kept them for all these years in smoke-free homes. The photos in my listings are of my records and flyers, and are the actual ones you will buy.
-------------------------------- Blag Flag - Nervous Breakdown / Fix Me / I’ve Had It / Wasted - SST Records - 7” EP Vinyl - SST-001
This record is the prize of my collection. The first pressing of the debut EP by the hardcore punk legendary band Black Flag. This marks the birth of the West Coast hardcore punk scene and SST Records. Only 2,000 copies of this first “Brick Wall” pressing were made. It was meant to be a calling card to help the band get gigs. I knew nothing about them when I bought the record in 1979, but I loved the awesome cover art by Raymond Pettibon! I fell in love with the music on first play, and in my opinion, this is the greatest punk record ever made.
Recorded in 1978 and released in 1979, on the sleeve of this record, Black Flag's second drummer Robo is credited instead of Brian Migdol, despite not performing on the EP, as Migdol had left the group a few months before the EP's release. Comes with original picture sleeve. Does not include the original SST bag with sticker.
I also am listing a Black Flag flyer (Black Flag Flyer #21) for a series of gigs in December 1979 that includes mention of the EP. VINYL DESCRIPTION I have played both sides of this record and it plays very clean. Condition is VG+ Super glossy Visible line mark on Side B but does not affect playback Slight surface noise at start of songs, but is not detectable during music Sounds great! SLEEVE DESCRIPTION Condition is VG+ Very small seam split at bottom fold Slight creasing at bottom corners Small light staining at corners Some creasing / mainly record imprint on sleeve
