An 86 is not ALWAYS a bad thing…
I mean, sure… to be 86'd from a business establishment usually means you've done something to piss someone off.
The Space Shuttle Challenger disaster took place in 1986, as did the bombing of a West Berlin discotheque that was eventually attributed to the government of Libya.
But a lot of great stuff is associated with the number 86! Like the Texas Instruments TI-86 Graphing Calculator… The Memtest86 Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool… and the Boeing AGM-86 Air Launched Cruise Missile! Yessiree, Boy Howdy!
And here's another one. The band named 86 were quite popular in Atlanta back in the late 80s and were frequently chosen to open shows at some of the larger performance spaces in town. I saw them open for both The Ramones and The Cramps on different occasions and they were always mesmerizing. Their Throbbing, Swirling brand of Psychedelia is something I've not ever heard anyone else come close to. It was, and remains, a completely original style. Enjoy!

Another one I don't know but dig!! You're gonna force me to get a bigger hard drive :))
And a bigger hard drive is... what?
A BAD THING? HA! :-)
The first band to be released on 688 records (followed by Dash Rip Rock).
Link appears broken/expired. Please please fix!
Holy Cow! Had to happen sooner or later, I guess. This is the first link to falter in a couple of years.
RapidShare has recently changed their policy toward hangin' on to files with no downloads for longer than a specific period of time. Like everything else in this world, it's gonna get worse as time passes. Might try an alternative this time.
I'll have to gather the ingredients once again in order to bake this pie again. Look for a repaired link within the next few days.
Fixed it!
Ohmygosh! THANK YOU!!
I've looked for this EP online for... 10 years now!
Keep up the good work!
I always loved this. I would listen to college radio station WAWL in Atlanta, all the way from my home in Chattanooga TN by listening in my car. I always wanted this but could only find their album Provocation
Oh God! I loved this record in high school. East Coast surf rat, found it on a surf trip in South Carolina. Just put it on the turntable. Kinda the precursor to shoegaze... Thanks for your blog!
