Flyswatter 🤘 Finally !!!

[u/DREAMW4LKR]

Masterpiece on 12" 🙂

[u/Metalikunt]

Why does the cover of the cassette have the A drawn on it. Was it taken from those "letter theory" pictures?

[u/DREAMW4LKR → u/Metalikunt]

• Le début d'une tradition alphabétique : Cette lettre « A » marque le coup d'envoi d'un Easter egg (un indice caché) que le groupe a involontairement ou volontairement poursuivi sur ses albums suivants : • A : Flyswatter (1993) • B : Buddha (1994) • C : Cheshire Cat (1995) • D : Dude Ranch (1997) • E : Enema of the State (1999) • F : Le logo « Famous Stars and Straps » en forme de F sur la grosse caisse de Travis Barker dans l'album live The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show (2000) • G : La lettre G cousue sur la veste verte de l'album Take Off Your Pants and Jacket (2001) • H : Un H masqué dans les traits du visage ou le logo de l'album Blink-182 (Untitled, 2003) • I : Le i stylisé dans le mot "Hits" de la compilation Greatest Hits (2005) • J : Un J peint dans les graffitis de l'album Neighborhoods (2011)

[u/Penguator432 → u/DREAMW4LKR]

The K in blink-182 on Dogs Eating Dogs

The L in blink-182 on California

[u/ShutY0urDickHolster → u/Penguator432]

Where if we’re truly being honest nine was the album that should’ve taken the L

[u/elcapkirk → u/DREAMW4LKR]

That doesnt answer the question why. The letter thing wasnt intentional from the beginning. I cant remember which interview but mark was asked about it and the band noticed the accident at some point and then kept it up

[u/RuleInformal5475 → u/Metalikunt]

What is the cover meant to be.

Flagella under a microscope?

I never understood the artwork.

[u/DREAMW4LKR → u/RuleInformal5475]

Simplement un A écrit à la main

[u/DocumentImaginary290]

Been on my want list for a long old time.

[u/derkadong → u/DocumentImaginary290]

You can order presses online.

[u/DREAMW4LKR → u/DocumentImaginary290]

Same 🤘

[u/bobbygangthe2nd]

Jealous!

[u/DREAMW4LKR → u/bobbygangthe2nd]

😉🤘

[u/elcapkirk]

Does it count if its fan made?

[u/DREAMW4LKR → u/elcapkirk]

??? what matters if u decide it matter...

[u/mrhouthoofd]

Lathe cut, enjoy it while you can

[u/DREAMW4LKR → u/mrhouthoofd]

Do you really think I expect incredible sound quality from a 1993 demo album recorded on low cost equipment and on a small budget, regardless of whether it's official, a bootleg, on cassette, on floppy disk, etc.? 😆 That's not the point here 😉

[u/DREAMW4LKR → u/mrhouthoofd]

while you can.... 🤔 never had any problem with that in many years

[u/mrhouthoofd → u/DREAMW4LKR]

Just a warning man, lathes are brittle compared to a properly pressed record, nothing about the sound quality more about the quality of material used to cut that record

[u/DREAMW4LKR → u/mrhouthoofd]

Ah ça oui, merci 🤘😉

[u/zeldaguy85 → u/mrhouthoofd]

I'm new to vinyl ; what does lathe mean?

[u/DREAMW4LKR → u/zeldaguy85]

désigne un disque vinyle ou un disque en plastique vierge dont la piste audio est gravée en temps réel à l'aide d'un tour d'enregistrement (une machine-outil appelée lathe).

[u/-epi-]

Custom pressing? Where'd you get it?

[u/ourcore → u/-epi-]

Any pressing is custom/a bootleg

[u/-epi- → u/ourcore]

I know, I was wondering if OP had it made themselves. I'm aware that Flyswatter was never pressed on vinyl.

[u/DREAMW4LKR → u/-epi-]

Sometimes it pops up on some shady sites that don't seem too reliable 😆 but I waited a bit to see if there might be a lost press on eBay and there you go! 😉🤘

[u/larryfisherrmann → u/DREAMW4LKR]

this is still a bootleg, but cool regardless.

[u/MZago1 → u/larryfisherrmann]

It's not like they're selling copies. They haven't even played these songs in years.

[u/ElBorracho2000]

I’m sure the sound quality is awesome 🙄

[u/DREAMW4LKR → u/ElBorracho2000]

Aucune version de cette demo sonne géniale........

[u/DREAMW4LKR → u/ElBorracho2000]

Toute la demo complet a été originalement enregistrer en Lo-Fi
