 You're bidding on the MUNICIPAL WASTE / CRUCIAL UNIT split 12"!  Limited to a one time only vinyl pressing back in 2002, this baby's pretty rare and it probably won't ever get repressed.  This is one gnarly record!  I love it, both bands rip!  The record, insert, dust jacket, and cover are all still in like new condition, it's still in the original shrink wrap!  Here's what MRR and a few other punkers had to say about it:

CRUCIAL UNIT / MUNICIPAL WASTE - split LP
Jesus! Six Weeks outdid themselves this time, I can't decide which side to rave about first; I guess I'll start with Virginia's MUNICIPAL WASTE. The instrumental opener is your first clue as to what is to come...10 songs of late '80s crossover thrash. If Thrash Zone was good. Better than Four of a Kind. The lyrics are flawless, the solos are even better and the whole thing feels like a record that is 15 years old. Fucking love it. Now about those Pittsburgh boys: if you've heard the CRUCIAL UNIT EP or the split with KILLED IN ACTION, then you still have no fucking clue how great this record is. Best lyrics of this year and last year, hands down, no contest, only the RAMBO LP even comes close. Any song that associates the need for socialized heath care with samosas (delicious indian vegetable fritters, try one today) wins my vote, but a song about punxs arm in arm mowing over crowds of pro-lifers? That'll win you the election. And then there's "Million Dollar Thrash Song," about stealing Bill and Ted's time machine and aborting George W. Bush, and I don't have time to tell you about all of them, because I have to tell you how awesome the music is too! Blazing fast thrash, fully blown-out, with vocals that are on the very brink of shrieking...fuck it is so goddamned good. Ignore the cover art, which is terrible, and buy this fucking record, if you like anything loud, fast, punk, or thrash...you know, music you can circle-pit to. Side note to CRUCIAL UNIT: I'll be coming through Pittsburgh this June, and I will fuck you up at Scrabble. (WN)

CRUCIAL UNIT / MUNICIPAL WASTE Split CD
Well, unless you have been living in a cave in the backwoods of the Antarctica for the last year or so, then both of these bands should already be kicking your ass by now. CRUCIAL UNIT goes ballistic with some screechy thrash that combines a lot of speed and humor. MUNICIPAL WASTE throws up the goat, and blaze through some thrashing metalcore. And both bands have an excellent sense of humor, which shines through in their lyrics. If you like eye-watering, ear shredding thrash that will make you bust a gut from laughing so hard after reading the lyrics, then buy this damn release immediately.

CRUCIAL UNIT / MUNICIPAL WASTE - split LP/CD
A meeting of monumental thrashcore proportions! Pennsylvania's CRUCIAL UNIT have unleashed hardcore mastery on their previous 7" and split EP, complete with glass shattering screaming and old school '80s punk ferocity similar to the melding of the late great Neos and Charles Bronson! Virginia newcomers MUNICIPAL WASTE crank out the blasphemous '80s crossover sound not unlike legends Cryptic Slaughter or Beyond Description, this time captured with a strong recording with their blazing high speed hi-jinx and razor sharp wit intact, matching and exceeding the wackiness present on their debut EP, which has drawn praise from all over the globe. Actually both these bands will have you rolling with laughter in the pit (yes you are now allowed to laugh in the pit, tough guy!). CRUCIAL UNIT and MUNICIPAL WASTE are leading the way to making hardcore fun again, so lose those floods and the nerd glasses and hop on board the "Poser Disposer" bandwagon, loser!

Winner pays for shipping, paypal and checks are cool, be careful not to spill your beer on this record while you're listening to it in a bedroom mosh session!
