Government Issue (often referred to as G.I.) was a punk rock band from Washington, DC. The band formed in 1980 and split in 1989. They began as a hardcore band but overtime transitioned into more alternative rock areas. Singer John "Stabb" Schroeder was the group's only constant member, although original drummer Marc Alberstadt played with the band from 1980 until 1986 and bassist-turned-guitarist Tom Lyle joined the band in 1981 and stayed until the end. Brian Baker (Minor Threat, Dag Nasty, Bad Religion) played with the band from 1981 through 1982. The group's final bassist, J. Robbins, who played with the band from 1986 until their split, went on to form Jawbox and became an in-demand engineer and producer. 
The band has reunited for shows in 2007 and 2010 but has no plans for a full time reunion. 
In 2014, the band will be playing a reunion show with 3/4 of the "Legless Bull" line-up playing songs off that record as well as the 1980 demo.  The line-up for that show will be: John Stabb, John Barry, Brian Gay, Karl Hill

Welcome to the Skeleton Closet!

I was a rabid music collector for 30+ years - Punk and Hardcore in the early-Eighties, Death Metal and Grunge in the late-Eighties, Industrial and Experimental in the early-Nineties, and Goa Trance and Psytrance in the late-Nineties and early-2000s…

I also worked at a record company for 13 years, toured North America with numerous international acts, DJed internationally, produced festivals, and had a clothing importing company.  So in this time, I’ve accumulated a lot of interesting and limited items...

Family life and other life changes have made me decide to unload my collection.  For the majority of the items, I have been the original owner of the item.  I try to be accurate on my description and condition of the items.  I have a lot to sell, so check back often -- I’ll try to keep the new listings coming weekly...
