Score!

I just won Hüsker Dü's 1st single, "Amusement" b/w "Statues" on ebay! Needless to say, I'm pretty geeked out about it (I did pay $56 for it but that's less than the $70-$95 range I've seen it sell for in the past). No, it's not the "In a Free Land" single, but still kind of rare (only 2500 pressed, supposedly 1000 distributed). It isn't like finding an Action Comics #1 but maybe like getting some early Alan Moore comic from England (Miracleman or some of his Dr. Who stuff?) Anyway, I'm pretty happy about it.

Here's a clip of early Hüsker Dü recorded at the 7th St. Entry in 1981. Dig the hair nets! (not sure why, but they stop right in the lead up to the chorus, Grant walks out from behind the drums and Greg takes off his bass)
