In 1991 and in a fit of prolonged rock 'n' roll inspired lunacy I pressed up 1000 copies of a album of New Zealand bands. The lp was called "Celebrate The Sonic Arts". Bands on it included Flesh D-Vice, Spud, Onaweta,The Warners, Number Nine, Johnny Leadfinger and The Phantom Rockers from Hell and a bunch of others.
Only 400 people in the whole known universe were smart enough to want a copy of this and I have the others here looking for a good home.
Is your place a good home for a record like this?.If so $14US including postage gets one of these to your house anywhere inside the known universe (except for New Zealand...$14 local currency is fine). Paypal is fine and waferb@ihug.co.nz is all you need. Any questions,ask away
trades ok too!!
