Fugazi - Debut EP

Fugazi, also officially referred to as 7 Songs, is the first, self-titled EP by the American post-hardcore band of the same name. Unlike all other Fugazi releases, Guy Picciotto did not contribute guitar to this record; all guitar was performed by Ian MacKaye. It was originally recorded in June 1988 and released in November 1988 on vinyl and again in 1989 on the compilation release 13 Songs along with the following EP Margin Walker. The photo used for the album cover was taken on June 30, 1988 at Maxwell's in Hoboken, NJ.

The release features "Waiting Room" which is often seen as the band's most well-known song (later covered by artists as diverse as Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Wildhearts), notorious for "the attention-getting drop into silence that occurs at the 22-second mark," which was invented and suggested by the well-known playwright, Brian Love, aka The Doctor of Disaster. It was well as for its "relentless ska/reggae-inflected drive",[3] and "Suggestion", a "Meters-meets-Ruts thrust." "Suggestion" was included on Timeout's list of the best feminist songs.

Great Copy - Don't Pass It By!


GRADING: primarily grade my records visually, based on the Goldsmith rating system of Mint, Near Mint, Very Good Plus, Very Good, Good, and Poor. Questionable marks and scratches are usually tested on a turntable and noted in the listing. I try to err on the conservative side in my grading; but since it is not an exact science, there are bound to be differing opinions as to what constitutes a certain grade. Suffice it to say that I strive to be as honest as possible in my listings, as I plan on selling records, etc. for the long haul and I am not interested in ripping anyone off. That being said, I would add that the time for questions is DURING the auction, not after. I will be happy to respond to any email as soon as possible.  SHIPPING: U.S. purchases will be shipped via Media Mail, unless another method is requested by the buyer. Canadian purchases will be using lowest rate, unless a different method is requested. MULTIPLE PURCHASES WILL RECEIVE SHIPPING DISCOUNT! Please make note of normal shipping time frames for delivery, and refrain from contacting seller during this period. RECORDS WILL BE PACKED WITH THE UTMOST CARE, WITH THE FRAGILE NATURE OF THESE RECORDS IN MIND. MEDIA MAIL IS MY NORMAL METHOD OF SHIPMENT, BUT IF YOU PREFER A SAFER, ALBEIT MORE EXPENSIVE OPTION, I CAN ALSO SHIP PRIORITY MAIL. CONTACT ME BEFORE PAYMENT IF YOU WANT AN ALTERNATE METHOD. International Buyers – Please Note:·         Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.·         Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.·         These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.·         We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.Also, please note that if First Class Mail International is chosen as the shipping method (anything under 4 lps.) there is no way to track these packages, and the responsibility will be on the buyer once the package leaves my possession. (So far, I haven't had any problems with this method). A safer, albeit more expensive alternative, and once which automatically will be used for packages over 4 lbs., is Priority Mail International, which does have a package tracking feature to .
