Randoms-ABCD / Let's Get Rid Of New York 1977

Do I even have to say anything about this, aside from that it's fucking timeless?

Lesser known than label mates The Dils and The Avengers, Randoms were kind of like a mix up of all the guys from the 70's LA scene. Everybody in the band was either in The Screamers or Black Randy And The Metro squad. John Doe is on bass for Let's Get Rid Of New York, which is one of the reasons why it rules. This fine piece of wax goes for like 300 bones, so pop a Quaalude and listen up motherfuckers.

ABCD sounds like a Dolls rip KBD type of thing, but Let's Get Rid of New York is definitely wins at greatness.

RANDOMS

"Released with a 1/2 Back Glossy paper picture sleeve. Somewhere between 1,000 & 1,500 copies pressed. David Brown, that helped run Dangerhouse says he doesn't remember exactly how many copies were pressed, but he says 1,000 copies sounds right. Randoms only ever played live once. Pat Garrett - Vocals, Guitar John Doe - Bass K.K. Barrett - Drums"
