First of all, it's been a heck of a summer. New job after 24 years doing one thing, got a new job...but it threw off my rhythm. I've been promising the boss an Allman Brothers show since about FOREVER, but I got bogged down in it, hunting down every last click and at the end of it, I'm still not satisfied. Anyway, I know you almost gave up on me doing any new digitizations of vinyl.....but I'm back! Pickle Rick! (look it up).
In the meanwhile, I needed something to cleanse my palette, something to wash out the taste of long, tasteful instrumental passages that I'd been listening to, over and over, for the last four months.
At the same time, I was trying to put together a punk sampler for a buddy o' mine, a couple o' hundred classic punk songs he oughta know...and I reached out for my copy of the Lewd's "Trailer Court".....
...but oh, the horror! The album version wasn't the version I remembered, so it was down to the basement (hey daddy-o) to dig in the boxes of singles an' come up with this: the version I remembered from KUSF-FM radio back-in-the-day!
Anyway... flac files of wavs, I also included mp3s because WHY NOT, it's an EP and we got the room...also 300 dpi scans of EVERYTHING, covers, labels, lyrics, etc.

Also...while everything else on this falls into "hardcore," the Lewd song has a bit of "pop" to it, plus a few guitar overdubs that make it one of my favorites of the period. The other three...well, they fall into that moment where punk changed into hardcore and a melody disappeared entirely, and being transgressive was the main thing. All good stuff, but to me, the Lewd track is the keeper.
