Bim Skala Bim - Run Joe 7"

Description:
US import!
Bim Skala bim is celebrating 40 years! Needless to say they are one of our all time favorite bands, American ska pioneers that helped fuel our ska obsession in the 80s when we were in high school! Back at the tail end of the 80’s a handful of us bands kept the flame alive with college radio airplay and small club gigs, it was at one of these first chicago shows that we picked up their debut 7 inch “fathead” with iconic design by sluggo! To celebrate the band’s historic birthday we wanted to recrate that early diy 7 inch single vibe, complete with “late night kinkos xeroxed sleeves” designed once again by sluggo!

Three must have covers in Bim stylee, two on vinyl for the very first time. Stranger Cole’s 'Run Joe' and Sam Cooke's 'Bring It On Home To Me' were both recorded in 1999, while The Beatles' 'Rain' first appeared on the vinyl only 'Boston Does The Beatles' compilation LP from 1987. Black vinyl with big hole for real heads, one time press of 500 copies.
