Frazer Smith (USA, 1982)

KLOS DJ with the Malibu Mudhens on the A side and the Dumb Blonds on the B side. This one appeared on eBay a while back, initially listed with an opening bid of $700 and a "Buy It Now" price of something like $2500 if I remember correctly. OK, punk collectors on eBay often do get a little retarded but I think the seller was being just a tad optimistic. When it was relisted with a more realistic opening bid, it ended up selling for $27!

Check out the hype for this novelty:
TOTALLY INCREDIBLE AND TOTALLY UNKNOWN KBD SYNTH PUNK FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA!!!!!  LISTEN TO THE TRACK "COOL PATROL"
AND START SWEATING KBD PUNK COLLECTORS!!!!

ARE YOU DEAD YET!!!!!! BECAUSE THAT TRACK ALMOST KILLED ME!!!!!!!!!
IF NOT THE B SIDE "PARTY MACHINE" SHOULD DO YOU IN!!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK GETTING THIS RECORD!!!!! I TRIED TO GET AT LEAST 1 COPY FROM FRAZER TO NO AVAIL!!!!!!
THE PAIN TORMENTS ME ON A DAILY BASIS!!!!!!!
O.K., THERE YOU GO!!!! NOW YOU'RE DEAD!!!!!
KILLED BY OBSCURE!!!!!!! 

My copy has a pressing flaw (shitty picture disk) so there is a skip on the B side. But it is a KBD SYNTH PUNK KILLER!!!!!! (Maybe a few more !!!!! would have lead to a selling price of more than $27?)
