When you think of the SST record label chances are your brain goes straight to the Minutemen or Sonic Youth, Meat Puppets, Dino Jr. etc. etc. etc. If you don't know that story you owe it to yourself to look into it. If you do, where, you may ask, is your brain to turn?
Don't turn, just keep going in the same direction - today we take a peak into Greg Ginn's storage unit and see what else was going on in Southern California twenty years ago. These tracks come from Paper Bag's 1987 effort Ticket To Trauma, an album purportedly assembled entirely from freely improvised first takes. Live fast and die young didn't stop at the recording studio doorway.
Today's post was not a first take.
