Insoc E.P.

Information Society · 1983 · Vinyl-12-Inch · US · E-1007

Kurt Harland: "While continuing to play shows we managed to scrape together about $2000 to make the first InSoc recording: The InSoc E.P. We printed 1000 copies of this, and sold perhaps 50. One local distributer said, after a few months, "Yeah, I'd actually appreciate it if you got them the hell out of here." I saved about 200, but over half of them were discarded and destroyed. It taught us that having an album didn't really mean much. What I wish we had understood better was that self-made albums are to be used for promoting the band. We should have made an effort to get these E.P.'s into the hands of people in the music business". (c) www.insoc.org
