posh boy. pbs 3 / 2 tracks / 1979

RI: 1990 (in Posh Boy 7” box)

Original has pink/white labels, back cover has a cut at the top to help insert the record; RI has silver labels, standard cover. 3 different test pressings; #1 has the regular tracks, #2 has Kirsty Q/Deadmeat and was much later reissued on Posh Boy (see below), #3 has a rougher version of I like Drugs b/w Cardboard Crotch (unreleased). Feat. Jay Lansford on guitar.

Great melodic beach/surf/sun punk with a very charming amateurish feel. They can't really sing, but the melodies are great. Two hits. [9]  

“California” ist DIE Sommerhymne (auch wenn die Jungs nicht singen können), erinnert stark an (punkige) Beach Boys oder The Last. B-Seite ist trotz S.E. ein tolles Lied. Für alle Liebhaber der Ramones oder anderer melodiöser Sachen. Jay Lansford an der Klampfe.
