Street Trash

Street Trash "Into The Wasteland" LP:

I enjoyed the 7" on My War Records a few years ago. But this LP is difficult to like. Musically I'm into it. But the record itself is a great example of why getting vinyl pressed at GZ is a bad move. The vinyl is the standard crappy splatter that GZ specialise in, so that your record looks like something a five year old would come up with if given two pots of paint. The sleeve is super thin, flimsy card that goes all limp in your hand. Even worse, it's bright pink. Oh yeah, and the insert was made on a photocopier, which I also hate, since it means its likely to stick to the sleeve at some point in the future. All in all, this thing sounds alright, but looks about as attractive as a dog that just got run over by an eighteen wheeler.
