1988 Vermin Scum No. 3

This is a handsome copy of a hard-to-get vinyl collectible. Luckily for you they're local and they used to personally visit the store to furnish us with their goods, therefore we run by a copy of most every release every few months or so. This is the first copy we've seen of their first single in a while.
This was owned by someone who was in a Vermin Scum band, and was friends with the guys in Moss Icon, so you can sleep knowing that this has been touched by at least one member of M.I.

The vinyl is at least EX and the cover and insert is the same. Very minor edge/ring wear, but I doubt you'll see a better copy of this for a long time.

SEE THE PHOTOS TO VIEW THE COVER, FRONT AND BACK, AS WELL AS THE INSERT UNFOLDED.

PLUS, WE'RE HOLDING THE 7" CAREFULLY, IN THE AIR (NOT SITTING IT OUT ON A SURFACE LIKE SO MANY DOOFUS SELLERS), SO THAT WAY YOU CAN SEE THE RECORD AND RECORD LABELS.

Moss Icon was an Annapolis, Maryland emocore band from 1986 to 1991. Its original members were singer Jonathan Vance, guitarist Tonie Joy, bassist Monica, and drummer Mark Laurence. Moss Icon is best known for its influence on the hardcore punk splinter genre known as "emotive hardcore" or emo, and its affiliation with the original bands formed in the so-called "Revolution Summer" of 1985, including Washington D.C.'s Rites of Spring and Embrace, and Maryland's The Hated.

The band's identifying characteristics, and those that distinguished them from their contemporaries, included noticeable and abrupt transitions from loud to quiet, Joy's distinct arpeggiated guitar (often undistorted and picked), and Vance's esoteric, sometimes meandering lyrical content. Earlier recordings of the band are reminiscent of early Joy Division, particularly in guitar style, while later songs embodied a less blunt approach, noted by some detractors as making Moss Icon "like Grateful Dead for punks." The band championed, among other issues, the plight of indigenous peoples of the Americas, and opposed the U.S. government's involvement in Nicaragua and Guatemala.

Moss Icon recorded their debut 7", "Hate in Me", in January 1988, and entered the studio several months later to record their second 7", "Mahpiua Luta". Their "Lyburnum Wits End Liberation Fly" LP was recorded by Les Lentz and Tony French throughout 1988 and released in mid-1994 by Vermiform. Moss Icon's third 7", entitled "Memorial", was recorded in January 1991 along with a split LP with Silver Bearing. In 1994 Ebullition Records released the "It Disappears" LP, compiling songs from "Memorial" with live versions of several songs.

After the dissolution of Moss Icon, guitarist Tonie Joy was a member of the bands Universal Order of Armageddon, Born Against, Lava, The Great Unraveling, and The Convocation Of.... (later rechristened The Convocation). Other band members were less involved in music, excepting Laurence's drums in Lava, DiGialleonardo's Blue Condors, and Vance's solo debut LP.

Kiss The Girls and Make Them Die

We are collectors and we want you to get your collectibles in the best condition possible, therefore, unlike many sellers on the great eBay
WE NEVER REMOVE VINYL FROM ITS SLEEVE AND LEAN IT AGAINST ANYTHING
nor do we
REMOVE THE VINYL RECORDS FROM THEIR SLEEVES & LAY THEM DOWN ON A SURFACE TO DISPLAY THEM.
We're rather amazed when we take the care that we do with the vinyl we sell, and then see another seller make more money selling the exact same item
in worse shape, and their picture shows the record out of its cover and out of its sleeve lying on a surface! I believe the "problem" is that we try to describe every item
in detail so that you'll know exactly what you're getting. Many sellers will simply say "excellent" "mint" or "great", having no idea what those terms mean in relation to the Goldmine Grading System. We tell you exactly what you're getting, and even if it's been to hell and back, we still treat it like it's a piece of your mother. Sometimes it's the detail that screws things up, I think. If we were vague, like most sellers, you'd just see the name of the band, the title, and a picture, and you'd buy it. Oh well.

Many sellers seem to have a disregard for the items they're selling and only care about making their pictures look pretty. We only care about the pieces we sell. And you. So you'll see that the records are displayed IN THEIR ORIGINAL SLEEVES, with just a hint of the vinyl showing so that you can see what color they are. If you want to see the vinyl pulled from its sleeve and resting on a dusty surface, look at someone else's auction or blog and then come back to our page and buy our copy in PERFECT SHAPE.

This is vinyl, NOT A CD. You play it on a turntable. That's an arcane device that spins plastic around and around at a constant speed and a diamond on the end of a stick scrapes at it and makes noise that you hopefully enjoy.

We will ship this ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

ORDERS OVERSEAS, ESPECIALLY TO EUROPE (AND ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY GERMANY) ARE SOMETIMES TAKING A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF TIME. SOME VINYL IS TAKING UP TO A MONTH TO ARRIVE. IF YOU CAN TAKE THIS INTO ACCOUNT AS A POSSIBILITY, GO AHEAD AND BID.
