Note from Posh Boy:
“The colored vinyl with monochrome picture sleeves is from 1990 / 1991.
Peace Thru’ Power was from the first TSOL recording session in 1991.
Man, and Machine was from the 3rd, in 1982, originally Alt. Tentacles.”

1980 Posh Boy Records Limited Edition on Colored Vinyl AMOEBA ADOLESCENTS
Thirty-three years ago, it feels as if the echoes of punk nostalgia resonate more profoundly these days. Posh Boy entrusted some memories to me, reminding me of my journey. I’ve never considered myself a record collector, but during my days of running a fanzine, records began to surround us, each year adding to the collection. In our home, built from the heartbeat of vinyl, we felt the space grow tighter. There were so many reviews to write, each one a piece of our shared history.
So many bands want their promotional push. It is the same old story of kids, record labels, and promoters. No matter what the band the story is always an interesting one. I really don’t know what to do with this 45 now. It sits in a dark closet awaiting some doom of destruction… who knows??

Limited Edition on Colored Vinyl
Knowing that True Sounds of Liberty or T.S.O.L. are in Europe having fun NOW…makes it all seem worthwhile. Jack Grisham has come out with a few books as well. These guys went through many changes through the years…some good and some bad. Regardless, time shows no mercy. Here is another Limited Edition on Colored Vinyl as the kids that they once were. Mr. Posh Boy gave them the push they needed and so this is a little bit of THEIR special PUNK ROCK history.
Poo Poo Pee DOO FOR NOSTALGIA!!

It is the last day of August 2013, and the weather is unbearable humid and hot. Yet here in California I don’t need to remind you of this. It sucks…nor do I need to remind you of the lyrics to this 45 by the infamous California punk band the Circle Jerks. I say bad is good in their case. This is the Circle Jerks first recording session in the Spring of 1980.
It is nice to have this 45. It is like having a treasure but really the treasure was living it years ago and its memory still shines in my heart… beat, beat beat…WILD!!!

Big Fish Stories
Jim Trash Flipside 20 Circle Jerks Halloween Issue
Huntington Beach Scene Report by Michele Flipside
When The Crowd hit the California punk scene it was something special and all the punk chicks had their eyes on Jim Trash [Jim Decker]. He was not the usual Hollyweird kind of guy. He was a surfer punk, Young, tan and entertaining. The Infamous Gerber may have had her ways with him too; believe me he crossed my eyes a few times as well. It was a time before slamming when the pit was filled with Pogo dancing!

This is the record; vinyl LP being pulled from the dark closet today.
It is a Flipside Record that is not included in the current Crowd Discography
So, for those of you stimulated by the phenomenon of the erecting punk rock nostalgia you might find this LP climatic and even orgasmic.
Big Fish Stories by The Crowd. Came on the scene around the early 90s I believe.

A vinyl fanzine. Crème de la crème

At this time in punk rock history of the 1980s… life was moving fast. Projects at every corner. This kept us running before the wildfire of punk rock, which was a passion that could not be controlled. So many individual hands were in the middle of projects.
It was hard to know who to thank and whose hand you should slap.
It felt like being under a crashing wave. We were overwhelmed! SO many wants, needs and desires geometrically multiplied with each day. All the bands needed a promotional push by this silly little vinyl Fanzine.

I stopped gifting my vinyl when I found someone turning it around to sell on eBay.










As much as I understand that the artwork is bigger and more visible… I’ll admit I just don’t understand collecting vinyl. I like having a hard-copy of the music I love (on CD) because it’s MINE (and then I copy it to my computer to play on my Mp3 devices) but I just can’t figure out the appeal of vinyl. (Though it’s cool to see how many artists are catering to vinyl collectors and releasing cool things!)
I am not a collector either. There was a time records came to me. I was overwhelmed with them. It was what I did and every band wanted to be reviewed. That was my job then. Now I have a few left. I look for people to give them to. I have a few that I keep close to my heart though here at home. I kind of make fun of record collectors.. they are a special type of person. They are the Gods of Vinyl …eheh
I’m pretty sure I just sharted. 😸😸😸™️🍺👍🏻
huh?
