Title:	Live at CBGB 1982
Label:	MVD AUDIO
Format:	LP
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	MVD 4994LP

"Not to be confused with the CD release, Live CBGB 1982, this vinyl-only release contains audio selections from the DVD release, Live CBGB 1982. Sure it sounds confusing, but the material on the CD and LP, while culled from the same series of live shows around Christmas 1982 at CBGBs, is completely different. Besides, who can have enough live stuff from the world's best hardcore band at the peak of their prowess? This colored vinyl slab comes in a limited edition for indie retail only. Includes blazingly awesome live versions of 'FVK,' 'How Low Can a Punk Get,' and more."

Title:	Not Available
Label:	MVD AUDIO
Format:	CD
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MVD 5122CD

"Recorded in 1974, originally released in 1979 and now reissued with seven minutes of material originally edited out. While there are a million stories about The Residents, one of the more intriguing concerns the recording of their second LP, Not Available. Early in the career of the band, the 'theory of obscurity' was introduced to them by the German avant-guardist, N. Senada. The plan called for the creation of complete projects that were literally not intended to be heard by anyone other than its creators. The Residents realized the truth in this ideal: that music really was difficult to record without considering the audience. They thought the experience gained by completing such a project would prove worthwhile toward achieving an independent attitude toward music. Not Available was completed in 1974 and stored. Several years later, in 1978, The Residents were severely over scheduled on their opus, Eskimo. The record company pulled Not Available from the masters room and released it. Surprisingly, The Residents were not upset by this fact since it in no way violated their original intent."

Title:	Up On The Sun
Label:	MVD AUDIO
Format:	LP
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	MVD 5198LP

"Vinyl version of the Meat Puppets' landmark 1985 album, reissued and remastered for vinyl. This one is a stone cold classic; a mix of punk rock, folk, country, jams and poetic lyrics that was a shock when originally released on SST way back when. From the stoned and sunny opening title track to the whirling dervish of sound that is 'Two Rivers,' this album has absolutely no filler and holds up insanely well, like a classic should! For fans of Black Flag and the Grateful Dead."

Title:	Meat Puppets
Label:	MVD AUDIO
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	MVD 5253CD

"Meat Puppets was released in summer of 1982 to near unanimous praise from the rock press. The New York Rocker called it 'one of the most forcibly gripping blobs of wax ever created,' and New Musical Express called the Meat Puppets 'near-virtuosos, three of the most inspired musicians living under the sun.' For this reissue, the album has been expanded to nearly an hour in length by the inclusion of the contributions the band made to various compilations at the time, as well as outtakes from the band's early recording sessions."

Title:	II
Label:	MVD AUDIO
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	MVD 5254CD

"Meat Puppets II was a 180-degree departure from its predecessor, confusing old fans and creating new ones. Kurt Loder gave it a four-star review in Rolling Stone, calling it 'one of the funniest and most enjoyable albums of 1984', while a bewildered Robert Hilburn proclaimed the Puppets 'far more of an acquired promising though willfully unfocused rock act' in the Los Angeles Times. For this reissue, the album has been expanded to include seven additional tracks."

Title:	Present Sonidos De La Noche: Coochie Brake
Label:	MVD AUDIO
Format:	CD
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MVD 5294CD

"A million years ago, a big rock fell out of the sky and landed right in the middle of Louisiana. Well, it wasn't Louisiana at that time. But that rock fell, and it hit hard making a giant dent. It gradually filled in but no matter what, it still left a dent. And that dent held just enough water that it became a primeval swamp known as Coochie Brake. Some young guys used to camp in Coochie Brake. They climbed the massive granite boulders that common sense said should not be there. They explored the caves. They sat still and let the Brake speak to them as only the Brake can. Those teens grew up to become the Residents."

Title:	The Third Reich 'n' Roll
Label:	MVD AUDIO
Format:	CD
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MVD 5368CD

"The Residents' third album, originally released in 1976. People have speculated whether the Residents were hinting that rock 'n' roll has brain-washed the youth of the world. When confronted with this possibility, they replied, 'Well, it may be true or it may not, but we just wanted to kick out the jams and get it on.' The Third Reich 'n' Roll consists of two suites, Swastikas on Parade and Hitler was a Vegetarian. Both are semi-phonetic interpretations of top forty hits from the sixties. 'Our roots,' say the Residents, a bright orange carrot clutched lovingly in their hands."

Title:	Fingerprince
Label:	MVD AUDIO
Format:	CD
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MVD 5369CD

"The Residents' fourth album back on vinyl! Recorded in 1976, Fingerprince is The Residents' fourth album. However, when it was being recorded it was not called Fingerprince. In 1976 it was called Tourniquet of Roses and was so long that it would have consumed three LP sides. The album was cut back to the standard length of two sides, which was renamed Fingerprince. Thanks to the length of CD, the original Tourniquet of Roses was restored. The title Fingerprince is still in use for the longer version however. Vinyl version includes digital download card featuring everything on the CD version!"

Artist:	EINSTURZENDE NEUBAUTEN
Title:	Palast Der Republik
Label:	MVD AUDIO
Format:	CD
Price:	$9.50
Catalog #:	MVDA 4596CD

"This is a CD of the Einsturzende Neubauten Palast Der Republik DVD. This performance was filmed on November 4, 2004 at the Palast der Republik in Berlin, the former Parliment building and symbol of the no-longer extant DDR (East Germany). The Neubauten found the steel skeleton of the ruins of the Palast a congenial location for their architectural-musical fantasies and field studies. Accompanied by a 100-member choir, recruited from the supporters of the www.neubauten.org Internet project, they played in and with the building of their inimitable, almost literally building-collapsing fashion."

Artist:	IGGY AND THE STOOGES
Title:	Raw Power Live: In The Hands Of The Fans
Label:	MVD AUDIO
Format:	LP
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	MVDA 5179LP

"Vinyl document of the reformed Stooges' (Iggy Pop, Scott Asheton, James Williamson, Steve Mackay, Mike Watt) Raw Power performance at All Tomorrows Parties in September 2010. A mind-blowing night for sure. Iggy and the band sound flawless as they ripped through the archetype riffage of 'Search and Destroy,' 'Raw Power,' 'Gimmie Danger' and more. Punk rock, no doubt."
"Getting this top-notch performance of the entire Raw Power album by The Stooges realized a life long dream. This shit really sizzles and we are so obviously a crack band in a class of our own." --Iggy Pop
