Record Lad's Vinyl Finds

A Blog dedicated to the simple joys of finding vinyl in likely and unlikely places.

So long and thanks for all the out of print NOFX records...

Wow, after finding NOFX's "Pump up the Valuum" last week, I never expected to find this one too! At the same store no less! Is anyone else impressed by this? Well, judging by the number of views this blog gets, I would guess no, but oh well.

Anyway, I was super stoked to find "Pump up the...." but this one is even more impressive I think. It was pressed only once (to my knowledge) in 1997, so that means that this record was shrinkwrapped and probably stuck in the Epitaph warehouse for almost 10 years!

It's also a really good disc. After the dissapointing "Heavy Petting Zoo" (It had it moments, but overall I wasn't a huge fan) I had almost lost interest in NOFX, until they won me back with this one. The songs are short and sweet and some of their best.

"Murder the Government" is a classic, and "Monosyllabic Girl" always makes me laugh. Not to mention "Eat the Meek" and "All Outta Angst", although I don't think that one is true anymore, if it ever was... Wow, there's really nothing like reviewing an album people have known about since 1997. Is there anything more useless?

Oh well, I was really happy to find this on vinyl and the cover looks way better than the CD version. Also I got it with store credit, so this baby didn't cost me a dime! Yay me!
