STIV BATORS (DEAD BOYS) DISCUSSES PUNK ROCK WITH GREG SHAW, 1980 ! ARCHIVAL CD/LP SET WITH "AUTOGRAPH" !
BOMPYou wont find this anywhere else kids! We found a cassette tape from the collection of Greg Shaw that features Greg talking to Stiv Bators about punk rock! We had it digitized and made 20 cds from the cassette. The cd is packed in a case with a cover designed by our art team, and the set also includes a poster, an obituary, an LP on color vinyl with insert, and an "autographed" set cover.
ALEC PALAO SAYS- "It's fascinating to hear Stiv Bators and Greg Shaw pontificate eloquently upon the evolution of punk rock and its current state of play circa 1980, with some intelligent , and dare I say unexpectedly prescient observations ."
HERE'S WHAT YOU GET:
(1) CD COPY of STIV AND GREG TALKING, 1980. 23 minutes long. PACKED IN A CASE WITH A SPECIAL COVER DESIGNED BY OUR ART DEPT. TRANSFERRED FROM CASSETTE FROM THE COLLECTION OF GREG SHAW AND MASTERED BY THE LEGENDARY ALEC PALAO! HISTORICAL STUFF HERE.
(2) SEALED COPY OF STIV BATORS LA. CONFIDENTIAL. WE HAVE JUST DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE 2 TRACKS ATTRIBUTED TO STIV FOR 20 YEARS, ACTUALLY A BAND CALLED CROWBAR SALVATION. THE TAPE WAS MISMARKED AND MISTAKEN FOR STIV FOR ALL THESE YEARS! GREG SHAW HIMSELF PLAYED THE TAPE AND THOUGHT IT WAS STIV. Only 10 copies left and will not be repressed with those two songs. The 2 songs are Crack Boom Bam and Misery loves Company. Sure to be a collectors items.
(3) STIV BATORS POSTER CREATED JUST FOR THIS SET
(4) VINTAGE GLOSSY PHOTO OF STIV FROM OUR ARCHIVES, ORIGINAL!
(4) ENTIRE SET IS PACKED IN A HEAVY 13x13 POLY ENVELOPE with EXCLUSIVE COVER DESIGNED BY OUR ART TEAM. THE COVER FEATURES A STIV BATORS "AUTOGRAPH" SCANNED FROM ONE OF OUR CONTRACTS, ESPECIALLY RARE BECAUSE HE SIGNED IT "STEPHEN J BATOR JR", (NOT BATORS) RATHER THAN THE USUAL SCRAWL YOU WOULD FIND ON AN AUTOGRAPHED RECORD, FOR EXAMPLE.
DISCONNECTED LP- Inner sleeve includes photos and lyrics. Bators' first solo album, Disconnected was recorded in Los Angeles following the breakup of the Dead Boys."It's got more of a garage pop/Nuggets vibe than the work of the Dead Boys-he even covers the great Electric Prunes track 'I Had Too Much Too Dream Last Night.' But even though he professes to be an evil boy, he does it with a charm that's pretty irresistible." - Creem
