The Violent Femmes helped to bring the post-punk and folk-punk movements to the forefront of American music in the early 80s. A seminal band for disenchanted teenage misfits, Violent Femmes spoke for and to those who would later be labeled 'generation X'. The band initially comprised Brian Ritchie -- whose acoustic bass guitar gave the Femmes their unique signature sound; Victor DeLorenzo - known for his minimalist drum kit, frequently comprising just a snare drum and cymbal; and Gordon Gano - whose distinctive whiny vocals and rebellious lyrics summed up the state of being for the pre-MTV teen generation.
 
 Formed in 1980 they were discovered while busking in front of the Oriental Theatre in Milwaukee, where Chrissie Hynde invited the Femmes to play a short acoustic set to open for The Pretenders that evening. Shortly after that the Femmes signed with Slash Records and released their debut album The Violent Femmes, which, ten years later, reached platinum status. Three of the Femmes' most famous songs come from this debut "Blister in the Sun" -- allegedly about masturbation and most recently used by US fast food chain Wendy's; "Add It Up" - most noted for the infamous lyric "Why can't I get just one f--k?"; and "Kiss Off" - whose teenage angst ridden lyrics cover everything from the desire to be accepted to hatred for those who are, the desire for love and affection and, in its famous counting climax, the number of drugs needed to deal with life events.

---------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" RECORDS (LPs / 12" SINGLES etc). PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on vinyl records: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SIX (6) LPs / 12" records. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

***Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually***

---------------------------------------------------

COMBINED POSTAGE FOR DIFFERENT FORMATS will be invoiced at my discretion:

While I am happy to combine (for example) one or two 7” singles into one package with 12” records, sometimes it isn’t practical (like if you want me to combine one 12” record with three or more 7” records). I do not think that these combinations can be packaged together safely and securely. Therefore these will be invoiced separately as two packages.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE, please contact me before bidding!

---------------------------------------------------

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction's end. If you want to bid on more of our auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week's auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week's auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I have no option but to limit 'carried over' transactions to two weeks.
