Description

ARTIST: bad brains

TITLE: pay to cum

LABEL: bad brain records, usa

CAT#: BB001

YEAR: 1980

CONDITION: cover: n/a /record: VG++

NOTES:

original/offical second press with red and tan labels (and 'masterdisk' stamp in the run-out groove) and no picture sleeve (but includes a xerox of the original sleeve and lyric sheet that i got from a friend years ago).

In 1979, the Bad Brains left for New York City. In December, the band recorded a debut 45 on their own label ("Pay To Cum" b/w "Stay Close To Me"), which was later included on the widely distributed Let Them Eat Jellybeans compilation LP. The first pressing of the "Pay To Cum" 7in. lists two separate Maryland addresses (one on the label, a different "Fan Club" address on the sleeve) indicating that the ties to DC weren't completely severed. The band would later repress the single in New York City and issue it without a picture sleeve (red & tan labels instead of the brown & white of the first pressing). "Pay To Cum" shattered any previous claim to a land speed record (probably held at the time by the first Middle Class 45). –break my face
