Description
NEGATIVE TREND - 7" EP - ORIGINAL 1978 on Heavy Manners label + Lyric sheet VERY RARE!
Released in very small pressing in 1978 on Heavy Manners - HM-1 (side 1 label as HM-1, side 2 label as HM-2)
This 7" has been bootlegged at least twice over the years and re-released but this is the original. Please check Discogs for further details.
I am the original owner of this 7" that I bought new in 1980.
Often referred to as the Black And Red EP, this is the extremely tough to find early SAN FRANCISCO PUNK 7" whose members went on to form important Bay Area bands. Includes members later in Flipper and Toiling Midgets. Rik L. Rik was later in the band who released solo records and was in F-Word.
A1 Mercenaries 2:51
A2 Meathouse 3:05 (later released and sang by Rik L. Rik)
B1 Black And Red 3:38
B2 How Ya Feelin' 1:52
Bass – Will Shatter (later in Flipper)
Drums – Steve DePace (later in Flipper)
Guitar – Craig Gray (later in Toiling Midgets)
Vocals – Mikal Waters, Will Shatter
matrix numbers on run out groove:
Side 1: HM 1 QT3
Side 2: HM 2 QT3
CONDITION OF FOLDOVER SLEEVE is VERY GOOD+/EX. Minor bend at top corner on one side and slight record indentation at bottom of sleeve as shown.
I bought new from Zed's in Long Beach 1980, original price tag still on outer bag.
PLEASE NOTE: when new, top of sleeve was stapled shut at corners and the only way to get record out was to remove staples which I carefully did.
There are still tiny staple holes at top corners and inner sleeve. Two-sided lyric sheet is in near mint condition.
CONDITION OF RECORD is NEAR MINT. Bought new and only played once. No spindle marks and no scratches.
Carefully stored in a smoke free home ever since.
Please check out my other early punk 7" on auction by other pre-Flipper band, SST.
