Description
The Victims were formed in Perth in mid-1977 with James Baker on drums (ex-Beheaded/The Geeks), Dave Flick (real name Dave Faulkner) on guitar and vocals (ex-Beagle Boys) and Rudolph V (real name Dave Cardwell) on bass guitar.[1][2] Earlier in that year Baker and Cardwell had founded another punk band, the Geeks, with Ross Buncle on guitar and a vocalist, Lloyd. That group folded in May and their original songs formed the core of the Victims' initial repertoire.[3] The group's sound was based on United States punk pioneers, the Flamin' Groovies, the Heartbreakers, New York Dolls, and the Stooges.[1] Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, felt that "with their frantic, explosive sound backed by a solid melodic bent, The Victims became the premier punk band on the Perth scene."[1]
In 1977 the Victims recorded their debut single, "Television Addict" (Faulkner/Baker) / "I'm Flipped Out Over You" (Baker/Buncle),[1][4] of which only 1,000 copies were pressed. In August 1978 they released a five-track extended play, The Victims (also known as No Thanks to the Human Turd), with: "I Understand", "Open Your Eyes", "TV Freak", "High School Girls" and "Disco Junkies".[1][2] Baker was one of the writers of the latter four tracks; the identity of his co-composer was disputed – some sources attributing Faulkner and others citing Buncle – the situation was later resolved, with Buncle acknowledged as co-writer.[4][5] Only 500 copies of the EP were released. Some versions had hand-drawn sleeves, which McFarlane described as "ultra-rare and highly prized collector's items."[1]

Selling this record on behalf of a mate of mine in Perth.
He recollects that he saw the band at Hernando's in East Perth.Liked what he saw and purchased the record at White Rider Records(they both no longer exist)
Vinyl is NM..Has not been played!!!(There is some dust on the record as it was not sealed or kept in a sealed sleeve...I will leave the cleaning to the buyer)
Sleeve is VG+.. both the outer and inner (minor yellowing due to age)
This is a no reserve auction and the very best of luck to you!!!
If the buyer is an Australian Resident I would prefer Bank Transfer ..No Pick ups
Many Thanks
