PLEASE READ ITEM DESCRIPTION, VIEW ALL PHOTOS AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK BEFORE BUYING.

I will happily answer all questions to the best of my knowledge and will supply you with specific photos if requested.

PLEASE NOTE: Depending upon the camera and time of day I took the photos the colors may vary from shot to shot. Reds can look pink, greens can look yellow, so PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTIONS. For the 45s, I scanned the labels and the sleeves to give you an accurate color representation.

CHECK OUT MY OTHER PUNK LISTINGS! I am listing a number of items from my Los Angeles punk scene days in the 1970s and early 1980s. They hold great memories for me, but now it?s time to sell them to someone who will appreciate them rather than risk having them thrown out by people who don?t know nothin' some day at an estate sale!

I bought these records when they first came out and have kept them for all these years in smoke-free homes. The photos in my listings are of my records and flyers, and are the actual ones you will buy.

Germs (GI) - LP Vinyl - Slash Records - SR-103 - Second Pressing - Plus Vintage Darby Crash Photo
I bought this album in 1979 when it came out. I was a big Germs fan. Saw them many times live, and it was always an experience to remember! This was the first Los Angeles punk LP to be released, so this was a big deal. It is a seminal album in hard-core punk history.

Details about the LP:
Second pressing with standard, non tip-on cover (white inside). Spine is completely unmarked. No UPC code. Has the etching error in the Side B runout, marked “SLACH B” (instead of “SLASH B”). This album still has the inner printed sleeve with lyrics (you need ‘em!).
Printed in the USA.
Matrix / Runout (A-side runout, etched (Alternate)): SLASH A SR-103-A
Matrix / Runout (B-side runout, etched (Alternate)): SR-103-B SLACH B

Details about the photo:
I bought this from Darby Crash at the phenomenal gig at the Hong Kong Cafe on September 22, 1979 with Middle Class, Black, Flag, and a very young "Red Cross” (later to be renamed Redd Kross). Darby was particularly incoherent at this gig, asking for a beer even more than usual. I didn’t have a beer, but he was selling some paraphernalia, so I bought this photo to help with the cause! I didn’t know then that this would be the photo on the back of the album. I wish I had asked Darby to sign it, but I don’t think he would have even if I had asked.
