Description

This is the incredibly rare and long out of print 7" EP by the band formerly known as BLINK (now of course known as BLINK-182)  This is a MAROON Vinyl Split 7" record with the ICONOCLASTS on the B side.  The record was released by Velvet Pompadour Records way back in 1994 when I used to attend Blink shows every other weekend.

The BLINK side titled SHORT BUS includes 2 songs:  1. DOES MY BREATH SMELL?  2. WASTING TIME.      
The B side Iconoclasts songs are:  1. My Nature,  2.  Dysphoria, 3. For Good Measure.  

The record is in EXCELLENT CONDITION with very minimal visible surface wear.  The sleeve is in EXCELLENT CONDITION with some minor creasing that can only be seen if held really close to your face or looked at from the inside of the sleeve. 

The record has been stored properly for the last 17 years. Any imperfections can be blamed on Mark, Tom, or Scott (the drummer before Travis) as they used to lug their merchandise to their shows in cardboard boxes. Records and tapes were tossed into boxes to head to the next show. 
I remember them announcing at a show that they were excited because they got a new van to cart their gear around in. I also remember being at the show where I first heard them announce that they had to change their name to Blink-182 because of some band from Europe threatening to sue them for using their name. The BONUS FLYER is from that show. I grabbed a handful of these and threw them in my pocket. One of these flyers just went on eBay with a pick and sticker for over 300 bucks (the pick and flyer originally came from me but I sure didn't make that much on them, lucky guy).
Shipping is free for this auction anywhere in the U.S. Foreign bidders contact me before bidding as international shipping will require registered mail which gets pretty pricey.
