Description

Some history: In late 1986, the band released a self-produced EP titled Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide. Designed to gauge public opinion of the band outside of Los Angeles, the record contained covers of Rose Tattoo's "Nice Boys", Aerosmith's "Mama Kin" along with two original compositions: punk anthem "Reckless Life" and the classic rock inspired "Move to the City". Despite having the look and sound of a live album, band members have admitted that the tracks were studio recordings with a live audience overdubbed. Only 10,000 vinyl copies of the album were produced, and even though the tracks were re-issued verbatim two years later as part of the GN'R Lies EP, the original Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide has been a valuable and sought after collector's item among fans since the late 1980s.

This EP is in excellent condition and has not been taken out of its' protective packaging since bought by me in 1993! There is a very slight wear on the bottom left corner of the cardboard sleeve - probably from when originally purchased and stood on it's end in a record rack. You can hardly notice - just a slight mark where the black cardboard has rubbed showing the white underneath. Only 5mm in width! Otherwise the EP is perfect - including the record itself. The record is in its' original plastic sleeve within the cardboard sleeve, and that itself is within a plastic sealed envelope.
