Description
This listing is for a rare and out of print copy of Charley Horse's Professional Sinners LP (#185 of 300), originally released in 2011 on Ratchet Blade Records. This is from the first pressing, which was screen printed (on a chipboard cover), autographed and numbered run of 300. When these sold out, another run of 200 were printed on black covers, but only a few were signed by the band. There are copies of the black cover run still available, check our other items for availability. *Special shipping notice: We have a fixed price for International Shipping, if you overpay you will receive a credit for the difference.*
From the Charley Horse website: "Charley Horse began in 1993 as an inventive and experimental rock n roll project featuring Sean Wheeler (Throw Rag), Chopper Franklin (The Cramps, Heathen Apostles) and Mickey Petralia. The three locked themselves in their sonic laboratory and took old rockabilly & blues loops, added Hot Rod flick and Film Noir dialog clips & sound effects and topped it all off with gritty, dark lyrical ramblings that became 10 tales of life on the riled side, two of which (Back Down & We All Fall Down) ended up on a long out of print Hellnote Records 7” single. Unfortunately the trio were called away from the project, Sean forming Throw Rag, Chopper joining The Cramps and Mickey producing such hit makers as Beck, Rage Against the Machine and Peaches.
Fast forward 12 years to 2005 and these recordings are released as “Unholy Roller” on Acetate Records, featuring cover art by low brow artist Vince Ray. It was then that Sean & Chopper got together some friends to film the video for “Bad Ass Dad”, and Corey Parks (Nashville Pussy, Die Hunns), Rick Ballard and Dino Guerrero (The Hangmen) decided they had such a blast that they wanted to help unleash this fury upon an unsuspecting world. After a few American tours and a European jaunt the band entered into two recording studios (one with producer Cameron Webb of Motorhead and Social Distortion note) to slam away at their newly written material. In the end the band emerged with 10 more terrorizing titles ready for release, and booked another European tour. But this time the planets didn’t align for the gang, the tour was called off, and the Charley Horse members went off to wreak havoc in their own prospective ways.
In 2011 Sean and Chopper decided that Charley Horse should once again bring forth a new record, this time a Limited Edition, Screen Printed and Numbered LP on Ratchet Blade Records."
