Test Pressing BAD AXE 1976 Earth Breeze Productions Ltd
Slaughter's DAVID STRUM's 1st record MEGA RARE!!
I could only find one other copy of this Test Pressing on line. It was on Popsike showing it sold for $566 on eBay in 2011. In the 2011 listing was written "Probably less than 10 copies ever pressed."
Has some "clouds" on the vinyl but plays NM
SLEEVE IS GENERIC WITH ROAD AXE WRITTEN ON IT I'LL GRADE AS G+ The copy which sold in 2011 also had Rad Axe written on it in the same manner likely by the same person. I glued a generic back sleeve over it's back sleeve & the 3 edges on the front because it had remnants of glue all over the back. Obviously something (perhaps an info sheet had been glued on but fell off despite a lot of glue...maybe it was torn off.) Anyway it looked crappy so I glued another back sleeve on it folding over the edges to the front.The front of the sleeve also has other issues so if it matters to you check the pictures closely. I'M ALSO INCLUDING AN ADDITIONAL GENERIC INNER SLEEVE (without "Road Axe" on it) in VG+ (last picture)
WIKIPEDIA DAVID STRUM....by age 17 was performing on the LA club circuit with the band Badaxe, and recorded an LP, The album was not up to the band's expectations so they replaced their lead vocalist with Bobby Gaudreau a lead vocalist from another well known band on the L A circuit. BobbyG being a Guitarist and Songwriter as well as Lead vocalist began re-writing the songs on Badaxe's previously recorded LP and added new original songs. Badaxe members BobbyG, lead vocals, keys and guitar, Dana Strum, bass Guitar, Steve Ward, percussion, and David Carruth, lead guitar recorded and released the single, Cry For Me written by BobbyG and All You Can Stand co-written by BobbyG and David Carruth in 1977[4]. Only a few copies were made and released on a private label (Progrezzive Records). Even so the single received a recommendation from BillBoard Magazine and succeeded in landing Badaxe a recording deal. While the band recorded its second LP at Dalton Studios in Santa Monica, Ca. it became a fixture on the L.A. club circuit along with future chart-toppers Van Halen, Quiet Riot, and Mötley Crüe. The album was finished but due to conflicts within the band it has never been released.
