Description
Original 4 track 7” EP from 1985 on Vi-nil records that started it all for the Hard Ons. The cover is signed by the infamous aussie punk trio Ray, Blackie & Keish. This came from the stash of rock journo & Vi-nil records associate Mark Fraser who I think was the Hard Ons manager at the time.
What also sets this copy apart from the rest are the 3 early band gig flyers found buried inside the sleeve instead of the insert.
The Vulcan Hotel gig flyer appears to be a throwback to one of the band’s earliest public gigs from 18 August 1984. The date suggests the gig was 2 months after their first show at the Vulcan and is a rare example of one of the band’s early gig flyers.
The Wild Weekend gig flyer appears to date back to April 1985. It’s an ironic reference the legendary 70s punk single by Psychosurgeons who influenced many including the Hard Ons. Research suggests that this gig was about a month after their first ever recording session at Canterbury Studio’s which resulted in the release of their debut record,
Finally the third hand bill is for a run of shows in September 1985 promoting their Surfin On My Face EP.
30 plus years on, the signed EP together with these scarce early gig flyers is a unique chance to score what is a Hard Ons rarity.
