Got mine...Excellent job!

What a fucking it must have been to fold all these sleeve....

You have no idea! The only blessing was that the records were delayed so I was able to slowly fold over a few months.

When Martin Edmunds was researching and compiling this - https://www.discogs.com/Various-Year-Zero-The-Exeter-Punk-Scene-1977-2000/release/669824 - he managed to leverage a significant number of copies of Exeter bands original 7"s from their respective lofts amongst which were good hauls of the Scabs EP (blue and red versions), Das Schnitz, Living Daylights and I think the Lou Reichner Band.

Being a gent they were sold on behalf of the bands.

Happy days. Long gone now I'd imagine

Must be! Would have been nice to find one of those.

Response for this 7" has been great so far. Copies headed to Puke n Vomit, Meanbean, Sorry State, Base, Drunken Sailor, and a few others this week.

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / The Scabs - Amory Building (1979 reissue)

« on: August 06, 2016, 09:52:26 AM »

Authorized reissue of the Scabs debut and lone 7", originally released by the band in 1979 on Club Land Records in Exeter, England.

Recorded in nearly 2 hours in North London, The Scabs originally released this 7" themselves and resorted to selling copies to their fellow students at the school cafe. The band broke up after a year and half, leaving nothing but the Amory Building 7" behind.

First time ever reissue of this record. "Leave Me Alone" was included on the iconic Soul Jazz Punk 45 comp of underground and rare UK punk 1977-1981, as well as a few Killed By Deaths.

Includes brand new liner notes from singer James Young and band photos. Deluxe pocket sleeve restored by Ken MacLaurin, mastered by Dave Williams.

1. Amory Building
2. Leave Me Alone
3. Don't Just Sit There
4. U.R.E.

Here's a video of the pocket sleeves. I'm never doing this again.

Any orders received in the last week are going out tomorrow. Anything from before November 18th has already been shipped and might have already arrived. Just about 50% sold out of this, which is crazy. I wouldn't sleep on this for long!

A few more great reissues waiting to come out as well, I'm just hoping the Canadian dollar turns around before submitting them.

Look for copies though: Mean Bean, Ugly Pop, Ripple Rock, Florida's Dying, Last Laugh/Almost Ready, Sloth Records, Dream On (Japan), Hammer City Records, P Trash, Paramecium, Sorry State, Grave Mistake.

Or direct through me!

What was used for the master source?

Ripped and cleaned up from an original. Unfortunately the original masters are long gone on this one.
