Poli Styrene Jass Band - Drano In Your Veins 7" (Violet Times 103) Cleveland, Ohio 1975. Ground zero pre-punk sounds reissued

VT 103 - Poli Styrene Jass Band - "Drano In Your Veins" b/w "Circus Highlights" 7" w/ hand-stamped sleeves Two new reissued releases from VTWrecks available now. 35 years later and both these wrecks still sound timeless. Essential Cleveland, Ohio pre-punk / proto-punk sounds, these heavily dosed trax were recorded at Owl Studios in Columbus, Ohio, August of 1975 at the same session where Mirrors laid down an album's worth of trax, mostly compiled on the inaugural Violet Times release. This is what Paul Marotta & Jamie Klimek did next. On 9.20.75 the last performance of Mirrors & Electric Eels took place at a Case Western Reserve University courtyard at WRUW-FM. This was also the first show for Poli Styrene Jass Band. "The end of Mirrors, the birth of The Styrenes, and the revenge of the eels" - Jamie Klimek 


This 45 is now SOLD OUT from VIOLET TIMES.
