The vinyl of this matches the CD single track wise, so there

Artist: Plexi Title: Plexi EP Label: Boy's Life Records Format: CD EP Cat: 95771-2 Year of Release: 1995 Country and Year of Edition: US 1995 Date of Sale: 9/10/23 Sell Price: $6.99 (Amazon) Condition: VG+/VG+  Discogs Last Sold: 11/9/22 M/M $13.75 Low:  $2.81 Median: $5.83 Average: $5.97 High:  $8.88 Current low price: $3.35 Current Number on Sale at Discogs: 7 Have/Want: 37/7 Where Sold: Auburndale, FL Time It Took To Sell:  11 years Where and When Bought: NYC dollar bin guessing Rocket Science for $1 Gwiz-gau Letter Grade:  C- Sad To See It Go: No Every once in a while something sells and I wonder why I ever bought it in the first place.  In the case of Plexi, they were short lived but made it on to Sub Pop records immediately after this debut EP.  A band like this seemed to indicate the downfall of "grunge indie" with nods to Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins and even Oasis with a noise sheen that winks at Steve Albini. Normally I don't focus on lyrics but if you are goi

Dirty Rotten Imbeciles are in their purest hardcore state on their debut 22-song ep.  All thrash all the time with many classics.   The best is "I Don't Need Society" which they crossover metaled up on their second LP Dealing With It. I always cons

Gary Davis are the big names here. Th
