I Had No Idea an Eldopa Discography Came out Last Summer

As I mentioned yesterday, I’m slow (if not completely stationary) in the record-buying department. So, I just found out via Prank Records that there is an Eldopa discography out now, The Complete Collection, on Tee Pee Records. It came out last summer. Who knew? This pivotal East Bay grind/crust band only put out one 7-inch (on Prank) and one album (on Easy Bay Menace) during their short time as a band, and both are out of print (though Prank has copies of a re-press of the 7-inch; it’s put out now under the name 1332, which they had to switch to after being confronted by another El Dopa band). This discography includes those two records, plus some live stuff and a couple demos, so it’s an important CD for an Eldopa fan to get, especially if you’re not fortunate enough to have that 12-inch (personally, I am that fortunate). And look at it; it’s sort of beautiful. Buy it here.

Awesome. That cover looks like something the Stranger's own Aaron Edge might have designed.

Aaron's the new art director now that Corantian (that's as close as I'm going to get to spelling that right) left.
