Condition comments: I'd like to grade this Mint for both cover and disc but I can't bring myself to do so, somebody with a magnifying glass might disagree! Maybe you can find some tiny glitch in the sleeve but what 30 year old printed piece of paper doesn't have something. The disc has a couple of tiny sleeve scuffs, I know this copy was never played and I'm not sure it was ever taken out of the sleeve until today.

Item Description / Notes:

 The Necros were formed in 1980 by then-teenagers Barry Henssler (vocals), Andy Wendler (guitar), and Todd Swalla (drums). After going though a handful of bassists (including Donny Brook Symbol Six (band), Jeff Allsop, David Cooke, Brian Hyland, Jeff Lake, and Brian Pollack), Corey Rusk joined the band. Barry Henssler had struck up a friendship with Tesco Vee and Dave Stimson of Touch and Go magazine after sending them a copy of his own 'zine, Smegma Journal. Vee and Stimson became fans of the Necros and decided to put out a record by the band. In 1981, the band's first record, a self-titled 4-song 7" EP (recorded prior to Rusk's entry into the band) most commonly known as "Sex Drive", was released. The first record ever released on Touch and Go Records (then called Touch and Go Rekords), it was limited to only 100 copies. Andy Wendler also stopped performing with the band in 1981 (although he continued to write for them) and was replaced by Brian Pollack on guitar. Later that year, the band recorded and released another self-titled 7" EP, this one a 9-song record most commonly known as "IQ32", which was produced by Ian MacKaye and was a joint release between Touch and Go (which Rusk now had a hand in running) and Dischord Records. Andy Wendler reclaimed his spot on guitar in late 1982 and in 1983 the band recorded and released two more records, a 7" and LP both titled Conquest For Death. Following the release of the LP, Corey Rusk quit the group to concentrate on Touch and Go, since, by that time, he'd assumed full control of the label. Although the decision to leave the group was Rusk's, Touch and Go has never reissued the Necros records they put out. (Wikipedia)
