Husker Du 12" Metal Circus

This came out in 1983 on SST. I didn't buy a copy until '86 or so but blew my mind whenever it was. This was Husker Du's second release after Everything Falls Apart, which I didn't have at the time, and is so abrasive it hurts. Husker Du were the original (and still one of the best) noisy pop band.

While this is still my second favorite Husker Du record behind New Day Rising (which is coming) it is still pure genius and sets the tone for the two GREAT songwriters in Hart and Mould to battle and keep coming up with songs to trump the other, which is what pushed these guys into ever more surprising and exciting directions, eventually leading to them being signed to a major and then disintegrating.
If you don't have a copy this, come and grab a new or second hand one of these NOW. You will not regret it. Tim
