Description
Infest - s/t 7" (aka "Machismo") orig on black (1988)
no label. if-001 / 10 tracks / 1988
This is the original private press, 1000 made only!
Has the original insert!
AND it has a handwritten letter by guitarist Matt dated Feb 20 1989!
(He is thanking for support and apologizing for the delay – see photo)
The back of the letter is an original flyer for a 1988 show with Infest, Hard Stance and Walk Proud.
Also included are two original band stickers that I got in this package!
A great and unique set of this classic EP!!!
Beautiful condition – Sleeve is perfect with just a few slight bends, vinyl is super clean with just slight surface wear.
Debut 7" by the band from California; one of the most important influences (along with the Siege demo) on the emerging crust/grind/power violence genre. Ultrafast & wild hardcore with breaks & mosh parts, powerful and intense. A classic.
FLEX Rating: [9]
machismo / where’s the unity / the game / mindless / which side // headfirst / break the chain / slave / sick & tired / pliers
After nearly 30 years of collecting rare US hardcore I am letting go of part of my sprawling collection. All records I offer are originals and first or early pressings unless otherwise noted. Inserts and extras as listed.
I always tried to collect records in great condition so most of these babies are in beautiful or even mint condition. My records were stored in upright position, in plastic sleeves, in a well-tempered, smoke-free environment.
I will put many more rare records online in the coming months. Just send a message to be included on my newsletter mailing list, or add my seller ID to your favorites.
