There's a band on the "New York Hardcore: Where The Wild Things Are" compilation LP called NORMAN BATES AND THE SHOWERHEADS. I always liked the name, even though I knew nothing about the band. The band always kinda stood out to me on that LP for being the least known entity. I often wondered how they ended up on that LP, alongside such acts as Outburst, Sheer Terror, Killing Time, Breakdown... they just didn't seem to fit. But I liked them because of that. Because they were a bit different. And because their name was kinda humorous. It was a few years before I even knew that they had an album, but once I found out that they did I wanted to hear it.
I've seen this record a few times on eBay, but never really got serious about buying it. But recently I got serious and I got lucky at the same time. I was the only bidder on a sealed copy of this LP, and I got it for $10, which I consider to be a bargain price, especially seeing as it came out in 1989. Stoked.
I also picked up another item from my want list from the same seller. Another one that lots of people ordered but never seemed to receive - the first Cold World 7".
Two wants firmly crossed off the list. Good day.
