WE'VE GOT A FUZZBOX AND WE'RE GOING TO USE IT: "RULES AND REGULATIONS EP" (1986) ETCHY AND SCRATCHY For their debut EP, shambolic girl quartet We've Got a Fuzzbox and We're Gonna Use It (later just Fuzzbox) released an 12" etched disc for indie label Vindaloo. The nicest thing about it wasn't the yelpy music but the etching on the second side: lovingly hand-scratched self-portraits by the girls themselves. Not exactly the shimmering laser cut etched discs put out by Split Enz in 1980, but you could literally feel the pain of compass on plastic.
