Wheelz Of Steel-Volume One LP

1984-self released

This is a doozy! Well known throughout hardcore metal collectors, but also loved by fans of outsider music and just plain oddball records. The band consists of two brothers with cerebral palsy that are bound to wheelchairs, hence the band name. They play guitar, bass and sing. Rhythm is done by a drum machine. All original songs. It has some really “out there” playing and lyrics. It has usually been classified as a metal album, but it’s more hard rock influenced to my ears. It’s hard to describe. Look up their name on YouTube for a sampling.  The brothers released it on their own label in 1984. It is not confirmed, but rumored of either 300 or 500 copies pressed at most. It never had proper distribution. It was mostly only available at some record stores and the handful of live gigs they played around their hometown of Milwaukee, WI. Their gigs consisted of a battle of the bands (or two,) a local bar or two and even a nursing home during the old folks’ lunchtime! This one rarely turns up, but here’s your chance to get a sealed copy.

CONDITION: SEALED – Jacket is nice with maybe the very slightest wear to a corner or two from storage. Not really even worth mentioning. It might have a slight storage warp, but it should play just fine. It appears to be perfectly flat in shrink. We acquired a handful of copies some years ago. The ones that sold play fine, but one had a slight storage warp. Again, it played just fine. You won’t find one better than this!
