💣 Holy Grail 1978 L.A. Punk – Alley Cats "Nothing Means Nothing Anymore" 7" 45 (Dangerhouse – LOM-22)

Up for auction/sale is a museum-grade original 1978 first pressing of one of the foundational artifacts of first-wave Los Angeles punk rock: Alley Cats – Nothing Means Nothing Anymore b/w Gimme A Little Pain on the legendary Dangerhouse Records label (LOM-22).

If you collect early West Coast punk, KBD essentials, or Dangerhouse singles, you already know how rare it is to find this title preserved in near-pristine condition. Produced by Randy Stodola and featuring Dianne Chai and John McCarthy, this release captures raw, visceral 1978 energy pressed onto high-luster black vinyl.

🔍 Collector Details & Grading Breakdown 

• Vinyl Condition (NM):

  • Visual: The vinyl retains intense, dark, factory-fresh sheen with zero dullness or deep marks. Under direct light, the playing surface looks stunning.

  • Labels: Classic orange-and-white diagonal-stripe Dangerhouse labels are exceptionally clean, bright, and centered with no spindle trails, writing, or sticker residue.

  • Matrix / Runout Details: Features standard first-pressing etchings (LOM-22-A / LOM-22-AA).

• Picture Sleeve / Fold-Out Insert (VG+ / EX):

  • Includes the original two-sided, black-and-white / red-print fold-out insert sleeve.

  • Transparent Wear Note: The sleeve exhibits light, natural paper waving and subtle corner creasing from storage over the past four-plus decades. The graphics, typography, and band photos remain razor-sharp and intense. There are no seam splits, no glue failures, no pinholes, no tape, and no ink writing.
