Fat Wreck Chords (2020, Reissue)
Randomly, out of nowhere I found an email from Fat Wreck in my 'promotions' folder on my Gmail account. It harkened the arrival of a few 10" reissues on limited colored vinyl. One of the items on the list was Guns n' Wankers, originally released on Fat as a 12", but now being condensed by inches and reissued. The timestamp on the email said it was less than an hour old so I popped over to the Fat Wreck website to collect my prize.
It was sold out already. I couldn't believe it. I figured the NOFX reissue would fly out of the door, but I couldn't imagine the GNW 10" would have been blown out that fast. Dejected, I grabbed a copy on black vinyl and set up an eBay alert. It didn't take too long for one to pop up and luckily I had just traded in a holiday gift card to get an eBay gift card on one of those exchange sites, so I picked it up for $40. I'm not as nuts as I used to be about owning every variant of a record, but there will always be a handful of bands where I'm going to get obsessive about things. Snuff and Guns n' Wankers are still on that list.
This version of the GNW songs is not as complete as the one that 10 Past 12 put out recently. I don't even think it's really called For Dancing and Listening, but it does get referred to as that fairly often. The three Metal songs and the two songs from the Silly 7" are not on this. You only get the eight songs that comprised the Pop 7" and the Hardcore 7". Now, those are the best songs of the bunch and spinning these hits at 45rpm as a 10", there's something that is just very cool about that. The black vinyl is still up on the Fat Wreck site. Definitely worth a pick up of these songs aren't in your collection.
