Krypton Ten's original press release:
In the early '80s Onset Offset Records of Christchurch, New Zealand, released nine Krypton Hits compilations, most on small-run cassettes, one LP, a seven-inch, and a VHS videocassette, spotlighting brilliant local acts like The Riptoids, G.O.D., The Oxes, and Nick Slick, along with tons of otherwise unavailable material by well known artists like Bill Direen / The Bilders, Scorched Earth Policy and The Puddle, to name but a few. Unwucht's double-LP contains 28 Krypton selections and two archival tracks available for the first time: the full four-minute version of Bill Direen's High Thirties Piano; and a Devo-esque electro-punk track from 1981 by Drowning Is Easy (featuring M.S. Agro, later of the Terminals, on lead vocals). Includes two more early Bilders tracks (as The Cherry Smash and Ritual Sex), Scorched Earth Policy, The Puddle, Ritchie Venus & The Blue Beetles, The Gorillas (Steve McCabe's pre-Axemen high school band), We Too's Crushed Velvet Morning, a George Henderson solo opus from 1982 and tons more. Screen printed gatefold jacket, two pages of never-before-seen photos from the artists' private archives, two double-sided inserts of liner notes. Edition of 330.

A quick note about changes to the US Postal Services international postage rates for packages: I'm sorry to say that as of 2013 the US Postal Service has significantly raised the cost of shipping packages (even to Canada). Unfortunately this is affecting all US sellers and international buyers. My shipping prices reflect the new shipping costs and the eBay fees for the shipping you pay as well as packaging material (I do try to recycle when I can but that's not too often). If the US Postal Service reduces rates, I will adjust them to reflect fair postage for international buyers.



I accept payments through Paypal. I also accept payment by mail in US currency and Checks drawn on US banks (Checks require 10 days to clear the bank). Please do not send cash by postal mail, I cannot be responsible for cash sent by mail.

Buyer pays shipping:
Media Mail to US: $4.00
Air Mail to Europe/UK/Asia/NZ/Australia: $21.25
Air Mail to Canada: $14.75
Air Mail to Mexico: $19.50

I need to be clear that I can provide proof of shipping on any package mailed, but I cannot be responsible for packages lost in the post (Italy and parts of South America have been a problem with some other sellers). In order to minimize the likelihood of lost packages I print the address from your paypal payment address and give you the opportunity to correct the address if necessary. If you pay by postal mail, I ask that you email me your address so that I can print a label from your email. If you desire international postal insurance, please inquire with me on the costs.
