Commandos / Performers split EP

Too Much Pressure / Operation Annihalation // Overthrow

(Beast 6)

1980 Worcester, MA

Well, after hanging onto this one for years with no interesting trade offers, I've decided to let it go. The COMMANDOS/PERFORMERS split EP is one of the cornerstones of the Worcester (Wormtown) punk scene. A rare record already with only 200 copies pressed, this copy comes with the original oversized insert PS which NEVER shows up. Copies have popped up for sale with a color xerox of the sleeve, but I haven't seen an original sleeve for sale in years. For those who haven't heard the tunes, the COMMANDOS play scruffy Ramonesy tradpunk, while the PERFORMERS provide a teenage postpunk sound. The chances are slim that another pristine copy will be available for sale again, as the handful I had years ago are all residing deep inside various collectors' collections. I have placed a reasonable reserve considering this item's rarity.

Condition (sleeve/vinyl): M-/M-

Grading Scale: M (MINT) is reserved for unplayed, flawless stock copies. M- (MINT MINUS) is the highest grade for a record in beautiful shape. EX (EXCELLENT) means there's a minor flaw on the sleeve (small crease, price sticker) or disc (fingerprint, harmless scratch). VG+ (VERY GOOD PLUS) means a sleeve has minor shop wear - is creased and/or shows a ring impression, and the disc shows cosmetic signs of handling. VG means not for the anal-retentive. The sleeve shows multiple flaws (sticker tear, seam split, ring wear, rumpled top) and the disc has surface noise (no skips or thunderous pops) and multiple small scratches. VG- means the sleeve is "well loved" with numerous flaws while the vinyl is exhibits many flaws and is noisy.
