If you join this discussion you will be notified when I post about new releases and updates to the www.contaminatedrecords.com site.
For now I have a lot of new stuff, a Lost Sounds 7", it is our last recordings (from 2005?), two covers of Oblivians tunes, originally done for a tribute that never surfaced. Also the new 12" Black Sunday/Le Jonathan Reilly split, a buncha new stuff from Savage Records (Stockholm, Sweden) like Original Three, Forbidden Tigers and River City Tanlines, check out other new listings.
2-13-08 - Goodnight Loving "Drafted Into War" 7" repress is in! originally 300 pressed on black vinyl, this is a repress of 200 on trash vinyl and let me tell you, this "color" has been appropriately named.
I am having the Test Patterns repressed as of today, only 100 copies. They'll be touring soon too by the way. Also I'm doing a repress of the Ponys, one last one, edition of 100 as well. They should be ready in a couple weeks.
I just updated my site with Terrible Twos LP and a Rise Up Howlin Werewolf 7". RUHW is Jamie Barrier's band (from Pine Hill Haints who just got signed to K records). It's really good stripped down garage rock n roll stuff, and he designs hand silk screens all the coves on his label. He released that last Thomas Function "Earthworms" 7" on the same label. Even though the band is pretty unknown, just suggesting it.
I've the new Destruction Unit 7". Sorry for the very expensive price, but with buying things in Euros and paying for shipping from Italy it's the best I can do.
If you are having trouble with the paypal cart and have ordered before you may have to empty your cache or delete cookies because I had to change my paypal email address.
I have finally had a chance to fix a lotta the messed up shopping cart links. Thanks to those who've been patient. I'm now just catching my breat after having a kid last November.
Also I have a new 7" coming out soon, a split 4 song EP
Perfect Fits b/w Twinkle Van Winkle. Every song is a hit!
Perfect Fits has membes of the Cool Jerks (Scott), Rat Traps (Joe), and Final Solutions(Tommy), and Andrew who is a great Memphis dj, obsessive collector of rare soul 45's.
Twinkle van Winkkle assembled a band of Oxford Mississippi greats, like Tyler Keith of the Preacher's Kids.
I recorded all the songs here in Memphis at the Tronic Graveyard and they all will get stuck in your head.
Finally the last of CONTAMINATED RECORDS releases, the 15th release
PERFECT FITS/TWINKLE VAN WINKLE split 7"
It's power pop rock with 4 great songs. mEMBERS OF rAT tRAPS, fINAL sOLUTIONS, cOOL jERKS AND pREACHERS kIDS, recorded at y studio, the Tronic Graveyard (Memphis)
way back in 1966 "96 Tears" was played to death on WMEX in Boston. It was ingrained on my 10-year-old brain. In high school in the early to mid 70s, I got made fun of by the teen cognosenti because the music I dug "wasn't complicated enough" I was v…
It wasn't a particular song, but it was the Nuggets 4*CD boxset that set me down the wrong side of the street about 7 years ago..yes, i'm a young un', and late to the whole thing, but hey, better late than never!!
