Various artists: Nobody Gets on the Guest List! LP (Throbbing Lobster #1) Boston, 1984. After 8 years off-and-on in college radio I decided to do something about all the demo tapes from Boston bands that never made it to vinyl. "Nobody" took shape in the winter of 1983-4. In order to get all the bands we wanted for the compilation we decided to pre-pay royalties on the first 1000 sales (an extravagance we continued even up through the two LPs that were never released). The first compilation included Flies [pre-Titanics, Upper Crust], Hopelessly Obscure [a Gizmos/Queers trashpunk classic with Kenne Highland & Ken Kaiser ex-Gizmos, Bob Mac ex-GG Allin, Lyres, Mighty Ions++], Prime Movers [pre-Voodoo Dolls, Slaves], Christmas, Wild Kingdom [ex-Human Sexual Response, pre-Zulus], 21-645 [pre-Flies, Scruffy the Cat], Turbines [ex-2x4s, Charlie Pickett], Classic Ruins, Johnny & the Jumper Cables [ex-Neighborhoods, Swingers Resort, Outlets, plus Kenne], Chain Link Fence, Underachievers, Holy Cow, Noise Pencil [ex-2x4s, Phobia; pre-Turbines] and Baby's Arm [pre-Classic Ruins, Taxi Boys]. Available only on original 1984-86 vinyl: new/unplayed $14: [sealed copies are available for the same price, but see 'about Throbbing Lobster' for details!]
