Poison Idea was formed in 1980 by vocalist Jerry A. (aka Jerry Lang). The initial lineup consisted of Jerry A., Chris Tense (guitar), Glen Estes (bass), and Dean Johnson (drums). Inspired by Black Flag and other early Southern California hardcore acts, they were further influenced by Discharge and Los Angeles's the Germs. Germs singer Darby Crash's influence on singer Jerry A., vocally, lyrically, and philosophically, was considerable, and Poison Idea followed the Germs’ extremist punk ethic. Tense, who previously had played with Jerry in a group called the Stand, was replaced within a year by Tom "Pig Champion" Roberts (guitar), formerly of the Imperialist Pigs.
"Pick Your King" is the title of American hardcore punk band Poison Idea's debut EP, released in 1983 via Fatal Erection Records. The album jacket featured a "choice" of kings (hence the title), one side had an image of Jesus Christ, the other side an image of Elvis Presley, a.k.a. "The King".

"Poison Idea's legendary first release! I only saw Poison Idea once, when they played at the Killtime in Philly. Pig Champion was so obese (trend-setter!), that he had to sit on a milk crate to play. And Jerry A., who wasn't a picture of health either, had to travel/sleep with a makeshift hyperbaric chamber. At least, that's what he told me... Undeniably, the Kings of Punk! "

Welcome to the Skeleton Closet!
I was a rabid music collector for 30+ years - Punk and Hardcore in the early-Eighties, Death Metal and Grunge in the late-Eighties, Industrial and Experimental in the early-Nineties, and Goa Trance and Psytrance in the late-Nineties and early-2000s…
I also worked at a record company for 13 years, toured North America with numerous international acts, DJed internationally, produced festivals, and had a clothing importing company. So in this time, I’ve accumulated a lot of interesting and limited items...
Family life and other life changes have made me decide to unload my collection. For the majority of the items, I have been the original owner of the item. I try to be accurate on my description and condition of the items. I have a lot to sell, so check back often -- I’ll try to keep the new listings coming weekly...
