Title: Jackknife – Drug Star ’69Year/Genre/City: 1993, Garage Punk / Lo-Fi Rock, Los Angeles, CAMatrix #: SFTRI 227Condition: VG+ (clean copy) Cultural Facts: [Band Origin]: Guitarist Rich Alvarez formed Jackknife after leaving the LA noise-rock band Slug, a jump from art-damage collage rock into leaner garage-punk songwriting. [Label Home]: They were part of Long Gone John’s Sympathy for the Record Industry world, where bands lived on mailorder, zines, and touring more than mainstream press or radio. [Catalog Trail]: Before this LP, Jackknife already had multiple Sympathy singles (including the “San Fransisco Beauty Queen” release), building their reputation one small-format drop at a time.
