| Skin Yard- The self-titled 1st album | |
| Recorded '85-'86, originally released
Jan '87, approx. 1400 vinyl copies, all on translucent skin-tone vinyl
(really! We asked for "clear", i.e. like glass, but that's what the
clever people at Futuredisc gave us) except a few hundred were black
for all those DJ's we thought would play it. Later issued on C/Z CD
(pictured) with one song dropped and 7 songs added, two of which were
from our first 7", "Bleed"/"Gelatin Babies" (CZ004). In Spring '92
Cruz records re-issued the CD and the vinyl. Cover painting by Beth
Hendrickson, who still has the original. Matt Cameron drums on all
except "Bleed" and "Out of the Attic" on which Jason Finn plays. Recorded
(as ever) by Jack, assisted by Bruce Jones and Gordon Raphael (later
of Sky Cries Mary). (CZ003). Mailorder: $13.50
postpaid inside the U.S. through Paypal. You'll have
to pay xtra shipping outside the U.S. |
