Melvins - Eggnog

Translucent green vinyl LP

An early release from the often imitated but never duplicated Melvins. Originally released as a 10-inch, Eggnog, from 1991, is a wild ride into the outer limits of Melvins-dom. The first side cuts loose with three quick blasts. "Wispy" has the Lorax (Lori Temple Black) on bass and Dale Crover on drums, pounding one note in unison while Buzz Osborne bellows and whispers and turns his guitar on and off. Side Two features the side-long epic "Charmicarmicat," with seasick waves of guitar and slow-motion madness bringing communicable disease and poisonous jellyfish ashore, stinging and infecting the unsuspecting sunbathers before gently washing out to sea again.

Back in print for the first time in 15 years, these LPs have been remastered, with a new gatefold package that includes never-before-seen vintage photos, as well as the original artwork and insert. Awesome!
