no label. sourmike 111603 / 11 tracks / 2003

100-150 made. White vinyl. + post card with song titles and xeroxed sheet with liner notes. Silk-screened foldover cover with silver foil print (similar to some of the Pushead/BacSour 7” covers, and done at the same print shop - note the Bacteria Sour reference in the catalog number). Signed by Mike Sutfin on the sleeve and on the postcard.

Mike Sutfin, CB-guitarist-turned-comic-artist put out this limited 7” with the help of Pushead for the Skeletal Carnival festival in Tokyo on Nov 16 2003. It contains demo versions of early CB tracks from 1994; in the liner notes Mike writes he prefers these versions to the ones on the Diet Root Beer 7” because they are not as clean-sounding (which is definitely true). Basically these are basement recordings on a boom box, but definitely enjoyable - powerful, tight and super-fast. A side has songs that ended up on the debut 7”, B side songs are all unreleased (Couch Slouch is a DRI cover). Great cover art, too. A must for fans. [7]

Limitierte 7“ der Band aus Illinois; zu hören sind früheste Keller-Recordings von 1994, aufgenommen mit einem Cassettenrecorder im Proberaum. Der Sound ist roh und krachig, aber definitiv hörenswert - kraftvoll und schnell. Auf der A-Seite Songs, die man von der ersten 7“ kennt, auf der B-Seite unbekannte Tracks und eine DRI-Coverversion. Pflicht für Fans.
