Oil Tasters comprises both their self-released 7s and their subsequent lp released on Joe Carduccis excellent thermidor label (they were actually recommended to Carducci by his good friend, Jello Biafra), all of which have been newly remastered from the original reels which, funnily enough, had spent the last 5 years collecting dust on the shelves of none other than Henry Rollins office. The cd reproduces the shockingly handsome front cover of the original LP, including an 8-page booklet with liner notes from longtime fan Keith Brammer (of Die Kreuzen/Boy Dirt Car) and Richard Lavalliere himself, a plethora of band flyers and photos and a full 40 minutes of surrealist, one-of-a-kind post-punk.
