Description
Hi,here is THE SHIRKERS - DRUNK AND DISORDERLY / SUICIDE on Limp records from 1978.
This is the original release,with quality photocopies of both sleeves.
Reviews: Best worst production ever. Drunk and Disorderly is a punk anthem that's absolutely destroyed, demolished, degraded, damaged, and dumbed down by Howard Wuelfing's production. I don't know quite how to describe it. The production is really a marvel. One guitar is muddy and distorted to the point where it sounds like a dump truck driving through a tunnel, the other is so thin and anemic--like someone plucking on a rubber band. This has to be heard to be believed. It was remixed for inclusion on the Best of Limp LP.
Shirkers - Drunk and Disorderly 7":

Recording Info: Recorded by Don Zientara in his basement, August 1978. Produced by Howard Wuelfing. Suburbs and Oil Paintings fades out after about ten seconds.
Skip Groff's Comments: This is something that Howard Wuelfing produced. The Shirkers were a band that Kim Kane's younger brother Thomas was in with Libby Hatch--Mark Jenkins' girlfriend. Mark was a good friend of Howard, and he was a reviewer for several of the Washington papers at the time--still is--and he wrote the book that you referred to earlier.
Howard Wuelfing produced the record and Thomas and Libby were the only ones I knew in the group at the time. Howard brought it to me as a finished thing. He had his own label, Teen-A-Tunes, that he'd previously done some of the Nurses things on, but he wasn't really active with it. He thought that having it on Limp would give it greater selling power, greater critical edge.
I like the record a lot. Drunk and Disorderly had that kind of frantic B-52s inner feel, and I really thought that Suicide was a stronger cut, but Drunk and Disorderly has obviously become something of an anthem, and it's a very, very rare record.
