BLACK HUMOR
Title:
Love God, Love One Another
Label:
SUPERIOR VIADUCT
Format:
LP
Price:
$16.00
Catalog #:
SV 001LP
"Black Humor was an experimental rock band from San Francisco in the early '80s (not to be confused with 'blackhumor,' alias of noise artist Frazer Hall). They released just one, very hard to find LP on Fowl Records in 1982. Only 1,000 records were pressed, each with unique handmade covers: thick slabs of paint, collage, parrot feathers, dirt, whatever else happened to be lying around their Tenderloin flat. Many of these have since gone for high, collector prices or ended up in oblivion. Existing in a parallel universe to other bands of the era, Black Humor's music is filled with jarring images of urban decay and desperation, bass-driven melodies, and layers of dissonant guitar and percussion. And perhaps the only known recording of a parrot that was taught to say 'Fuck You.' This first time reissue uses the originally intended artwork for the album cover. Fully authorized and mastered from the original analog tapes. Includes new insert with liner notes by singer George Miller and engineer Tom Mallon. Hand-stenciled and numbered. Limited to 500."

NOH MERCY
Title:
Noh Mercy
Label:
SUPERIOR VIADUCT
Format:
CD
Price:
$14.00
Catalog #:
SV 002CD
"Formed in San Francisco in 1977, Noh Mercy was comprised of only two women: Esmerelda and Tony Hotel. The band's motto was 'No Boys On Guitars' as a reaction against male-dominated rock 'n' roll. They didn't need boys or guitars. They harnessed the angularity of Devo, the punk/poet attitude of Patti Smith, and the art spectacle of Roxy Music, all ground down to a minimalist core of voice and drums. Their only two previously released songs -- 'No Caucasian Guilt' and 'Revolutionary Spy' -- have long been considered essential recordings within post-punk/no wave collector circles and by fans of other late '70s 'girl' groups, such as X-Ray Spex, The Slits, and the Raincoats. This album contains almost entirely unreleased material, unheard for over thirty years. Recorded by Fluxus artist and electronics genius Tommy Tadlock (Tuxedomoon) during their peak in 1979. As prescient as bands come, Noh Mercy preceded the defiant queer rebellion of riot grrrl and the frenetic art minimalism of the early 21st century by decades."

Price:
$9.00
Catalog #:
SV 005EP
"The Avengers emerged as one of the best bands from San Francisco's first wave punk scene in 1977. Their first 7" remains an essential artifact of punk rock in the late '70s. Originally released on the seminal Dangerhouse label, the EP's three tracks feature visceral sonic attacks, lyrical manifestos of self-reliance, and classic anthemic choruses. Cover photography by Marcus Leatherdale on two unique picture sleeves - the rare 'crucifix' and 'target' designs. Limited edition Record Store Day release of 1,000 copies (500 each of two original covers) pressed on blue vinyl."

Title:
Paint It Black/Thin White Line
Label:
SUPERIOR VIADUCT
Format:
7"
Price:
$9.00
Catalog #:
SV 006EP
"Their second 7" packs a 1-2 punch that tears through the Stones' classic and unleashes the menace that was only hinted at in the original. The B-side 'Thin White Line' is a musical punch in the gut with the pay-off of lead-singer Penelope Houston's excellent 'Don't talk about the blood running down my chin' lyric. Limited edition Record Store Day release of 1,000 pressed on green vinyl."

Title:
Teenage Rebel/Friends Of Mine
Label:
SUPERIOR VIADUCT
Format:
7"
Price:
$9.00
Catalog #:
SV 007EP
"'Teenage Rebel' remains the anthem for every disaffected youth on the planet. Not included on the infamous Pink album, this song is a two-minute package of pure adolescent vitriol. Backed with 'Friends of Mine,' a declaration of solidarity for the punks of San Francisco. Recorded in 1978 at the famed Iguana Studios on Folsom Street. Limited edition Record Store Day release of 1,000 pressed on orange vinyl."
