Flashback to 2002, when Ipecac Recordings released a Melvins studio album called Hostile Ambient Takeover. The following year, they issued a series of 7" singles with the A-side from that record, but the B-side was an exclusive track of the Melvins take on various cover songs. Since then, people have wondered, "Yo Goober, is there gonna be a follow up LP with the B-'s?" It only took 17 years to answer that question, but yes, yes there is & it's called Hostile Ambient Besides.
The cover is designed by our very own HAZE XXL keeping up with the cheapo plastic mask theme of the singles with his take on the whole Nutty Mad/Weird-Ohs genre.
This is the Nutty Psycho Edition with a orange & yellow silkscreen ink on the front cover, exclusive to this edition.
Here's where things get even more interesting. There's 3 colorways of the art on the back of the sleeve & are random. That means, all the editions will have the same color mask on the front, but the backs could be either dark/light green, yellow/orange or pink/purple.
Edition of 100 with the # hand-stamped on the back. Pure artwork on both the front & back of the sleeve, with no titles or track listings. Ooooh, what will they be? I love surprises!
The vinyl is an orange & yellow pinwheel pattern.
Catalog # is AMREP136.
Now to ruin that surprise. Here's the track listings...
Side A
Jerkin Krokus (Mott the Hoople)
Promise Me (The Gun Club)
Arny (Warlock Pinchers)
Fast Foaming
Side B
Return of the Spiders (Alice Cooper)

We say this nearly every time & maybe one day it'll work, but PLEASE place everything you want into 1 ORDER.
If there are multiple orders placed from the same customers we will either combine them with no refund on postage, or they will be sent out exactly as placed.
C'mon, it's hard enough processing a couple hundred orders quickly without this AND responding to all the emails requesting combined shipping and refunds. This delays EVERY order.
