GROUND ZERO: "GROUND ZERO" / "DITCH" // "MARLENA BERLIN" / "NOTHING" (7" EP, GROUND ZERO, 318, 1979) vinyl = M- (labels are lightly discoloured, as ussual) / sleeve (XEROX) = M- /// 1a. edició d'aquest "clàssic menor" del punk americà, el debut dels GROUND ZERO de Boston: un EP autoeditat, que -com a prova de la seua insiscutible qualitat- ha estat recopilat a la prestigiosa sèrie dels "Killed By Death" (concretament, al volum #12). Mentre que el vinil es troba en un estat de conservació QUASI PERFECTE, les galletes estan un poc "tacades/descolorides" (pel que sembla, és un defecte comú a tota l’edició, degut al contacte amb el "paper fotogràfic" que es va utilitzar per a la portada); però LA PORTADA ÉS UNA "REPRODUCCIÓ" FOTOCOPIADA: dues fotocòpies en color pegades a una funda interior de color blau... curiosament, la portada original ja consistia de dues fotocòpies pegades a un paper doblat i "tancat" amb un adhesiu de "Biohazard"; per tant, la "principal diferència" entre aquesta reproducció i una original seria que ací l'adhesiu de "Biohazard" també està fotocopiat :-) /// 1st. pressing of this "minor classic" of American punk: the debut 7" of Boston's GROUND ZERO, compiled on "Killed By Death # 12"... KBD at its finest! According to the VINYL NOIZ website: "First of two great self-released 7"s by this Boston band, from 1979. They were mining a harder post punk sound but managed to squeeze in one total proto-hardcore ripper ("Nothing", which was later comped on "Killed By Death # 12") on this 4-song platter. The sleeves for this record are real cool and ahead of their time—an intricate DIY job constructed out of photographic paper with color xerox sheets affixed to the front and back with thin colored tape, and sealed with a biohazard warning sticker. I always assumed someone in the band must have worked in a print shop or photo lab, based on the materials used and the fact that 7 x 14" full color xerox copies must have cost a small fortune back in 1979. Unfortunately the photo paper inside the cover has a tendency to discolor the labels, and this copy is no exception. There's also an alternate sleeve featuring a melted clock, but be prepared to shell out about five times the price in the unlikely event a copy turns up". Unfortunately, THE SLEEVE IS A XEROXED "REPRODUCTION": two color xerox sheets glued to a blue innersleeve (the same as the DIY original sleeve, but here the "Biohazard" sticker is also xeroxed). /// Si el comprador prefereix correu certificat (sisplau, envieu-me un e-mail avisant-me), els preus són: # Península i Balears = 4,00 EUR, # Europa = 7,00 EUR, # Resta del Món = 8,00 EUR. / El comprador hauria de fer el pagament (o -com a mínim- posar-se en contacte amb mi, per a tractar del tema i proposar una altra opció) en un termini màxim de tres dies després de tancar-se la subhasta. Gràcies per la vostra col·laboració! // If the buyer prefers registered shipping (please, send me an e-mail informing), the fees are: # Europe = 7,00 EUR, # Rest of World = 8,00 EUR.
