***CHECK OUT OUR OTHER SUPERCHARGER / GARAGE ROCK / PUNK / ESTRUS RECORDS AUCTIONS THIS WEEK!!!***

Trashy lo-fi three chord budget rock (im)perfection at it's best from "America's worst Rock 'n' Roll band-ever!".

Recorded in 1991 and originally released by Radio X in a 500-pressing LP run, Supercharger's first record is like a breath of putrid air unto the ever-cleansed world of rock & roll. Estrus Records gave Supercharger an official re-release in 1997, and while it lacks the kind of bold statement Supercharger would go on to make with Goes Way Out, it still blazes a trail of trash rock that few have the gall to tread.

The album pays homage to junk culture that takes the Ramones head on for brilliant stupidity and inept mastery. Nothing here is played with any kind of competence, instead relying on emotional energy and a deep record collection for inspiration. The no-frills budget production reduces everything to rhythmic blasts that bang out simple, danceable classic riffs. The singing is far from good, and the flatness of the vocals blends perfectly with the racket going on behind it. Use of do-ron-ron-style backups and group singalong choruses are peppered throughout the 16 cuts to help hide the singing deficiencies.

The attitude the album projects is anti-social and mean, just like punk should be. No emo-core do-gooders here; this is made for and by the juvenile delinquent mentality, adding fantastical sci-fi themes ("The Day My Body Vaporized," "You Put a Hex on Me," and "The Ghost of Steve McQueen") and a bleak cynical outlook ("Hey, I'm Gone," "Lost Cause," and "I Broke My Mind"). Listen to their raunchy cover of the Barbarians' classic (yes, the '60s band with the drummer who played with a hook for one hand!) "Are You a Boy or Are You a Girl" -- if the original came from the garage, this version comes from the outhouse!

Supercharger may know very little here about music but they know a whole lot about rockin', and the groove they lay down is crude, demented genius.

---------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SIX (6) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

***Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually***

---------------------------------------------------

COMBINED POSTAGE FOR DIFFERENT FORMATS will be invoiced at my discretion:

While I am happy to combine (for example) one or two 7” singles into one package with 12” records, sometimes it simply isn’t practical (like if you want me to combine one 12” record with three or more 7” records). I simply do not think that these combinations can be packaged together safely and securely. Therefore these will be invoiced separately as two packages.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE, please contact me before bidding!

---------------------------------------------------

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
