The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion / Melvins – Black Betty [Tri-Color] (7″, US)

Each art show sleeve is designed, printed, signed and numbered by Haze XXL in an edition of 10 for the Apocalyptic Mongoloid: Ocular Variant Infestation show on 1 October 2011.

“Spencer, Bauer, and Simins sound completely unrestrained, like feral dogs left alone to run free and follow their every creative impulse.”

Pussy Galore – Cum Into My Mouth [Numbered] [Bootleg] (LP, US) 

First hand-numbered edition of the black vinyl bootleg LP in an edition of 666 numbered copies in picture sleeve (with pink spine).

Later issued with unnumbered sleeve and on CD.

Tracklisting on sleeve is incorrect ‘Knock Up’ is NYC: 1999!, ‘Sid Pig’ is Pig Sweat and ‘Let It Out’ is When I Get Off.

Recorded live at the Mean Fiddler, London, UK on 23 November 1988.

The sleeve states the date of recording as being both “23/11/1988″ and “2/23/1988″ but the date is actually November as John Peel reviewed this live show in the Observer on 27 November 1988.

This is a fairly poor quality audience recording and heckles are featured quite prominently through-out.

Rear sleeve uses the Cover image from the Pussy Galore / Tad Sub Pop single.
