VOM-Live At Surf City 7"EP

   

VOM, short for vomit. Formed at the roots of L.A. Punk. Not really part of, but then again, sorta the kings of the scene for a brief moment in the late '70s...at least in our history books.

Fronted by revered writer and critic Richard Meltzer, with future Angry Samoans members Gregg Turner (2nd vocals) and "Metal" Mike Saunders on drums. The other half was made up of Dave Guzman on 'tuneless rhythm guitar', Lisa Brenneis ('Gurl') on bass and Phil Koehn on lead guitar. These six took 'obnoxious' to an entirely new level. They lasted about exactly as long as a real Punk band should. Ending after just enough time to conduct a handful of adventurous, ultra-messy live gigs and somebody suckered into putting up the dough to press a record.

VOM's Live at Surf City EP originally came out on White Noise Records in 1978 and has since been heralded as a bona-fide American Punk classic. They crammed as many minutes of noise that the 7" vinyl would allow. They managed to fit "I'm In Love With Your Mom", "Too Animalistic", "Electrocute Your Cock", "Punkmobile" and "God Save The Whales". Each one HIT!

Rerun is happy to bring you the first official reissue of this mind boggling document since it's initial release. We've re-mastered the audio from the original, rotting tapes master tapes, and it's never sounded better. They're all on thick, black vinyl, and each one comes with a double sided 7" x 14" insert featuring unpublished photos and new liner notes by Gregg Turner. All copies come in a heavyweight, glue pocket picture sleeve, but we're offering two cover choices. One is a reproduction of the original B&W art, and the other is a color version of the sleeve. The new color treatment is by Ronn Spencer, the original sleeve designer and label co-head of White Noise Records. Get 'em both!

-The Gruberger Brothers-Greetings From Reading, PA LP (RERUN #012)
A full LP of never-before-heard U.S. Punk and Fanzine Rock 1978-1980. From the same guys who brought you proto-punk legends O.Rex and '77 punk gawds the Afrika Korps. The Grubergers parted ways with the rest of the 'Korps and relocated to Reading, PA. In early 1978 they recorded but never managed to release an eight song, punk EP under the name Spike. We've collected that EP along with other, unreleased studio sessions for an LP that hints at what a second Afrika Korps LP could have sounded like if the Grubergers had stuck around. Mastered from the original tapes, and we even got Kenne Highland to give us his reaction to recordings! Pressed in an edition of 500 copies with full color cover and insert featuring liner notes.
$12.00 each

-The Retros-Inner City Rockers - The Retros 1979 LP+CD or CD (BDR #4) 
The Retros were arguably the best Punk band in St. Louis during their brief existence between 1978-1981. A couple attempts at recordings were made, but the Retros produced no official releases during their lifespan. In the Spring of 1979, the band was the subject of a final exam for a friend?s studio recording class at Webster University. When the exam was finished, the Retros took advantage of the couple hours of leftover studio time. They ripped through twelve originals in a quick, live-in-the studio type set up. The block of studio time was completely exhausted with the recording, and they didn't even have time for playback. The reel ended up on a shelf in Soundman/Manager, Don Hollenbeck's closet, and it would be almost thirty years before these recordings were heard by ANYONE. The LP includes the entire twelve song session, and the CD adds four, bonus live tracks. The LP is limited to 300 copies in a silk screened cover with a full color insert featuring photos, gig posters and liner notes, and it also comes with a copy of the CD. The CD format comes in a standard jewel case and is limited to 200 copies with alternate art.
LP+CD package $12.00 each
CD format $8.00 each

-Dear John-Frustrated Conversation - 30th Anniversary Re-Release 7" (BDR #5) 
Two '70s style Power Pop songs ala Raspberries or The Shoes, originally released in 1981 on their own label. The single has been a tough find for Power Pop collectors, easily fetching $40-60 on auction sites. We found out why it has been hard to locate, when Robert Kuhlmann of Dear John let us know he found half the vinyl from the original pressing in storage during a visit to his mom's house! They had only printed a small number of sleeves at the time, so we've repackaged the remaining, original vinyl copies in a new sleeve featuring liner notes, gig posters and other ephemera. This re-release is limited to the 350 copies on hand. The first 100 copies include a download coupon for the single plus two bonus tracks from the same recording session. 
$6.00
