Wazmo Nariz - Tele Tele Telephone (FWAZ90)

You can't tell it from the album cover without being told to look, but Wazmo Nariz is wearing two ties. We have three copies of this 45 in our vault, but only one of them is signed. (Correction: We have two of Wazmo's 45's titled "The EP", but only one of this single. All of them are signed.) "Let me, Let me. Wazmo Nariz" is the signature. And yes, the catalog number starts with "F Waz".

Special Full 45: The Residents - Santa Dog '78 (RR7812)

In the spirit of the holiday season that is fast approaching, Dr. Clash has requested that I post both sides of The Resident's 45 "Santa Dog '78".
Side A:
Side B:

The Gaylords - From The Vine Came The Grape (70296-X45)

I was surprised to find this in one of the deepest, darkest parts of the Compound Vault, but here it is, none the less. A strange oddity from 1954. The Gaylords do 3 genres in one song.

The Nosebleeds - Ain't Bin To No Music School (TOSH102)

These guys ain't "bin" to no music school, as you'll hear them tell you.

The Hamburglars - Hamburglars' Theme (U63920MA)

I was out record shopping with a few friends when I found this in a box full of unmarked, unsorted, unlabeled 45's. They laughed at me when I bought it.

Snakefinger - Kill The Great Raven (RRWIL7907)

I used to see this cover when I was a kid in our record collection, and it was one (of the many) covers that would give me vivid nightmares. I don't know how Ralph Records came up with their numbering system, but I doubt this was the 7,907th of anything that they produced.

Tuxedomoon - Egypt (SS45006)

"Egypt" is the B-Side to this Tuxedomoon 45 from 1981. Happy Thanksgiving.

MX-80 Sound - Someday You'll Be King (MX8001S)

I didn't like this band the first time I heard it, but it's really grown on me over the past 3 or 4 years. This is the first song I ever heard by them.

Vibrators - Baby Baby (EPC5302)

I did not know this until recently, but I guess a good friend of mine's cousin got married to this song. (It played when the walked in.) Good story, good song.

Shrapnel - Combat Love (SLT2001)

The self proclaimed "Commandos of Rock and Roll".

Infliktors - Where'd You Get That Cigarette? (AHS101)

Infliktor's 45 from 1979. Goofy looking punk rockers.

The Residents - Earth vs. The Flying Saucers (RZSR1)

Welcome to the Clash Compound Record Club. This first post we have is a rare, limited edition green Resident's single. More weird things to come. Enjoy.
