Captain Goodvibes Mutants Of Modern Disco Green vinyl

Captain Goodvibes Mutants Of Modern Disco Volume 1

Released on Sticky Label through Regular Records 1978

Captain Goodvibes, AKA the Pig of Steel, was the creation of Australian cartoonist Tony Edwards and became an icon of Australian surfing culture in the 1970s. Goodvibes started life as a pork chop, accidentally mutated by a chance nuclear plant explosion.

 (BTW, that strange white spot in the photo is a light - it's not in the vinyl. Might try to post a better one, sorry.)

The History of Captain Goodvibes

The Captain first appeared at the end of a pen one night in the autumn of 1973. Small but imperfectly formed, he was as surprised as anyone by his success and quite rightly saw his popularity as a licence to behave badly. He started binge drinking before he could breathe and abusing substances as diverse as plutonium and sausage mince before he could think, a gift he still struggles to master.

He took gratuitous filth, violence and bad dietary practices out of the gutter and onto a beach near you, souring young lives and stealing the promise of a bright future from their tiny hands. He blighted the pages of Tracks for about 8 years, polluted the air waves for a couple more and as if to demonstrate the breadth of his genius, embarked on a variety of ill advised projects that bought misery and financial ruin to all concerned.

Always one to rest on his laurels he has lovingly rebuilt this oasis of bad taste as a refuge for those oppressed by the designer desert around us. Welcome to the Captain's quagmire and please leave your maturity at the front door.  © Tony Edwards

Somewhere along the line, he made a record… this copy is pressed in sickly, slightly translucent green vinyl, known (I believe) as “swamp green”. It has the swirls and streaks in the plastic which were also known as “vomit vinyl”.
