Description
"Spend in a Night in a Haunted House with...The Spits" deserves its reputation as the most unusual 7" by the Seattle punk band. The limited-edition, slime-green vinyl record sold out from Missile X Records back in 2004, and you are bidding on an ORIGINAL in 100% mint condition. The title track of this rare, Halloween-themed slab is now on "Kill the Kool" from In The Red. Instead of one, this auction includes three custom lollipops that read, "The Spits Missile X Records Happy Halloween Suckers!"
From "The Spits" Wikipedia: Spend The Night In A Haunted House With... The Spits 7" (Missile X Records, 2004, MX 003) clear green vinyl, 500 copies, released with a candy sucker for the little Trick-r-Treaters A1. Halloween Fun A2. Black Candles B3. Spend The Night In A Haunted House With The Spits
From Terminal Boredom: The Spits "Spend the Night in a Haunted House with..." 7"
OK, so it's two or three holidays later, and we finally get the Spits Halloween single. I imagine this was a real labor of love for Miss Alex, as this record was originally supposed to have a toy with it, which due to financial unfeasibility I imagine, became a sucker instead. You gotta give her credit for trying something so impossibly ambitious. The good news is, this single is a killer. I think the Spits are at their best on the seven-inch format, (I'm a firm believer that the 19 Million AC EP was their finest hour) as the last two full lengths got a bit boring. Both songs on the A-Side are great cuts, you know how it's done: sub-KBD guitar sounds/fuzz, brutally simple and goofy vocals, one-two bashing, the ususal. But it's done very well, especially for a holiday-themed record. The B side is one long freak out over a beat with some girls screaming and giggling profanities in the background. Just weird. Definitely a good record, and not just holiday-themed schtick. Scum stats: 500 pressed on clear green vinyl, all of which come with a sucker glued to a spot on the back that says 'Eat Me!" (I hope she didn't have to hand glue 500 of these things). Inscription on sucker: "Happy Halloween Suckers! The Spits/Missile X Records 2004". I'll be selling my extra copy with sucker still attached for $250 on eBay in a few years if you miss out. Hey, how many sucker flavor variations are there?(RK) (Missile X Records // www.missilex.com)
