Nailed To The Stars

This one was the big one. Our first LP. Another comp, but with bands that were going places. I swore we’d need at least 1000 copies. I’m so glad Mike talked me into 500. Lesson learned this go around, dark ink silkscreened on dark paper does not show up very well, even with sparkles. Packaging has long been something that has intrigued me. This is our first stab at something other than folded paper and plastic. It’s got my favorite bits: silkscreen, odd shapes, and those red tassle twisty things, mmm... good. There are 2 extra bands on this format, I thought that meant it needed a different catalog number. It didn’t. Oh well. Mostly recorded at the 28th street house on the 8-track. Some of my very favorite recording sessions.

The LP is out of print at this point, but we still have some of the original cassettes, as well as a digital download of all the tracks from the LP & cassette.  22 Sparkling Smiles is Jonn & Lisa from The Crabs, along with Diane from Oswald Five-0 and Valiant Arms.  This comp also features the very first Kind of Like Spitting songs released, along with a slew of amazing mid-90's Eugene, Ore. rock and roll.
