actually the very FIRST thing I ever bought on SST might have been the Sonic Youth "Master=Dik" 12", when that came out. I had heard it on a college radio station. I assumed that's what they always sounded like!
and yeah, the catalog that came with it was fascinating to someone at that time had heard of maybe two or three of the other bands. a whole new world opened up

I got Ultramega OK on vinyl 2nd hand in 92 from Missing Records. I remember getting Louder Than Love and the latest Mudhoney cd (piece of cake)for xmas 92.

Been listening to this for the first time since a car trip in '92. Surprised how 80s sounding it is- particularly the fast ones. "Circle of Power" is like the Hickoids or something. "Head Injury" is all Bad Brains.

hurrah
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 20 April 2009 23:37 (fifteen years ago) link
it was you who started all the polls!
yes, i kinda fuxx0red myself there. i thought I'd be okay b/c Custom Lites are pretty much impossible to find and S-1s are fugly.
but no. at least it's a sweet MIJ copy for indie cred.
― butt-rock miyagi (rogermexico.), Monday, 20 April 2009 23:38 (fifteen years ago) link
