has anyone heard of...

a band out of Plainview, Texas called "Social Disgrace"? I found the inserts in with a 1200 cd lot I recently purchased, and they look totally rockin'! I would love to get a burn to hear what they sound like. Can anyone hook an uncle up?
here are some particulars that might ring a bell:
1992 Black Nite Records (obvisouly an indie)
8 tracks

The cover suggests Suicidal Tendencies thrashcore, but the pic on the back and song titles make them seem like southern-influenced 80s rock. A quick check on the net lists them as sleaze/glam. Maybe Shiney knows? I've never heard of them.

Where do you buy CD lots?

Still searching, but this is a starting point. Maybe email their contact person?

I've seen them listed on ebay and Craig's List. Never bought one myself, but Craig's List is a good place to look because they're ususally a set price. No bidding wars like ebay.

I thought you were going to sell 7000 CDs at the end of october??

Heavy Harmonies has them listed but not much information on them and the reviews are pretty worthless:

Probably up to 8200 now...

You have a disease Uncle Sax. You need help. Let me come over there and help you

He gets a look in his eye when he sees the used CD store. In fact I think he can smell them before he sees them. And then he pounces like a cougar.....

Thanks Bri - I emailed them. We'll see what happens.

The 1200 cd lot is a bit of a long story. The abridged version is - we stopped in Paducah, KY on the way back from the Keys a couple weeks ago. I stopped at a pawn shop that had gone out of biz. I could see racks and racks of cds in there. After Auntie Saxon nix'd the idea of breaking in, I did some quick investigation (my line of work anyways), tracked down the owner who was very cool and came in after not being in that building for 6 mos. We were both in a hurry (I had to make it to Chicago to see Rollins in about 6 hours from there!). He did a quick count, said there was about 1200 and said "Hundred Bucks for all"? I said "Ya got some boxes"? The Vibe was completely packed when I got pulled over for my second speeding ticket in 2 days on the way to Chi-town.

And, yeah, Uncle Saxons Great CD Selloff begins this weekend, if I can get everything set up by then.

Man, what a lucky score!! I know there are plenty of Pawn Shops in Philadelphia, but I've never gone into one. The ones that I've seen are in "questionable" neighborhoods and probably not worth a bullet in the back.

There's sure to be fecal material in there but there's bound to be some great finds in there as well. What a deal!!

OH NO, a bullet in the back is HIGHLY underrated now

days!

Same here. There are only a couple of pawn shops in this area that I know of, but they're not in the kind of neighborhoods you want to be in at ANY time of day.

The cases on the CDs in pawn shops are sometimes sticky.









I'm just adding my two cents.

There is no neighborhood I won't go into if there is a pawn shop there. South Chicago - Detroit - Harlem - whatever. Actually, chances are most metalheads have the same perspective about avoiding those neighborhoods, so I always find great gems there, because they have not been picked over!! MC666 has a similar career as mine, and I know he has no prob going into any area, because it's his job. Ya kinda lose any fears about those kind of things after 20 years.

What do you guys do? Are you cops?

But what about the sticky jewel cases?

and, yeah, mostly fecal matter, but some great stuff too! But 1200 jewels cases is worth a Benji. I'll have no prob making probably 600% on the investment. I'll post a quick pre-cd selloff tradelist in the metal market tonight.

Put on the latex gloves and switch them out.

MC is a bail-bondsman, and I own a process serving agency.

Similair situation...

Back before the internets, when people actually stood in line at West Coast Video stores and the like to buy concert tickets, my friends and I would travel to a more "urban" part of the city and walk right up to the counter and buy tickets for all of our favorite shows, knowing that noone would be there.

EDIT: I realize that the above statement contradicts my previous post about going into questionable/urban neighborhoods, but this was done years ago, when we were young and didn't know any better. And it was groups of 4 or 5 of us, in all of our metal glory of hair, denim and leather.

Well I for one am glad I am going out of town, otherwise I would more than likely be trying to persuade my wife tonight why I need to buy 20 or more CDs from Uncle Sax.

OK, THAT WAS WEIRD. I ORDERED THIS CD FROM THE SITE THAT BRIAN HOOKED ME UP WITH AND AN HOUR LATER, THE SINGER JUST CALLED ME ON THE PHONE TO SHOOT THE BREEZE. SOUNDED LIKE A VERY COOL GUY. HE DOES GRAPHIC ART IN VEGAS NOW. GET SOME LAME COUNTRY ARTIST TO DO THAT. I LOVE METAL!

I heard this band aeons ago, a dude sent me a cd-r of their stuff...I remember digging it...
