Hey! It's another LP! And because my scanner is too small and because I go to work when its dark and come home when its dark meaning I can't take a photo of the sleeve and also because the flash makes it look crap but mainly because no other loser has ever bothered making an image of the sleeve of this record and put it onto the web for me to steal ... there is no picture of the sleeve. It's pretty messy, anyway. So, instead, here's a picture of Mr. Michael Lucas drinking from what looks like a bottle of cough medicine from all that writing on the side of it. I lifted the picture. Sorry. I've done worse. Thanks, Toe Stubber. You've really captured the entrepeneurial spirit of Mr. J.P. Gutrock.
Just to prove I'm not totally lazy, here are the sleeve notes from the back. Hand-written by JPG himself.

"FROM THE DESK OF J.P. Gutrock
IT GIVE ME GREAT PLEASURE, ETC., 5 UP AND COMING, ETC, "TOUGH" (OR IS THIS EXPRESSION DATED? PLEASE CHECK - IF SO, CHANGE) PUNK/INDIE/ALTERNATIVE/NEW WAVE (CHECK DEMOGRAPHICS THIS WEEK & SELECT MOST SELLABLE GENRE) (THOUGHT - MAYBE "GARAGE"?). MENTION OTHER RELEASES BY THESE BANDS (REPENT RELEASES ONLY, OF COURSE), COUNT BACKWURDS (CHECK SP.) COURTESY SUMPP, WERTHEIMER MANAGEMENT GROUP, ETC. "DOING IT FOR THE KIDS." HOPE YOU ENJOY, ETC., OTHER FINE REPENT RELEASES (PLUG VULCANEERS LP ESPECIALLY). CLOSE WITH "ROCK ON" OR SOMETHING.
SHIRLEY - THE ABOVE ARE LINER NOTES FOR "V.P.B.C." - TYPE UP AND HAVE IT ON MY DESK TUESDAY A.M. ANY PLANS WEDNESDAY LUNCH?"

Sometimes something is less than the sum of its parts. This band features three Trashwomen and one Mummy/Go-Nut, was recorded by Darin 'Colonel Brain' Rafaelli at Radio X studios, and has sleeve notes by Michael 'JP Gutrock' Lucas. What comes out is the result of one cross-breeding experiment too far. A lazy mess. That said, as I've hardly ever played it, this copy doesn't crackle and pop too much. Just a bit.

More from this band when I post their Repent material. From what I remember, it's much better. Let's just wait and see...

The Count Backwards - Double Decker Bus / Bad Little Woman. Big City 7".

I must confess I nicked the image above. I'm struggling to get good images from LP sleeves; particularly those with the shrink-wrap still on them, so I took the easy way out and lifted it from some Japanese fellas website. Sorry, Surfy San.

Anyhow, another upload, again from Mike Lucas's Repent label. This one is Heritage-focussed. Lots of 60s surf and not-surf. And The Phantom Surfers.

Enjoy.

More trebly treble, daft as fuck, angry bhangra from East LA's least talented but most enjoyable group. Released by Mike Lucas on his Repent Label and, at it's best, beautiful and stupidly catchy.

Loli and The Chones - Total Fucking Genocide / Rock'n'Roll Genocide. Repent Records LP.
