thisisahiijack Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 also i have a few fall 96 VML catalogs, though i doubt they are much different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 VML was the Vindictives label (Vindictives Music Limited), and they put out a bunch of stuff other than the live 7"s (thus the catalog numbers). Their first release was the Screeching Weasel / Pink Lincolns split. The first of the live 7"s was VML #2 which was the Queers 4/18/93. It was 1500 on clear vinyl. This was before they hatched the series idea, so it looks a little different from the rest (font, layout, songs listed on the sleeve). Here are some pics...

mxv Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 If I remember correctly, those guys used to record those shows and then try and work out something with the bands after the fact to release something from the recordings. I can tell you the JFA one never came out. Three songs from that recording got released on the JFA/Faction split 7" I released on my label 6 years ago. I was at that show and a couple others they recorded. I dont' think I own a single record in the series for the simple fact I hated the cheap generic packaging of those singles.

thisisahiijack Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 best non-vmlive, non-vindictives vml releases: dimestore haloes - thrill city crime control 12" (surprised more people aren't into this band) hippriests - don't know shit 7" snotboy - i'm gonna break up with you 7" but i mean, really, i dig all their releases. except the unseen.

thisisahiijack Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 also, just so its here, this is the excerpt from my communication with scott harmless about the letterbombs' vml release. not as detailed as i recall: "As for other stuff, we recorded a cover of that old Phil Spector song "Baby Please Come Home for Christmas" for the "A Very Punk Christmas II" compilation on Rocco, but that comp never came out. We were also recorded for a VML Live Series 7", but the whole series came crashing down before ours got released. Our cover of "So Lonely" by the Police was going to be on there, but it wasn't too crucial other than that. That series didn’t have the best sound quality, as you may recall."

suburbanargyle Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I see these all the time, but I never pick them up. Don't know why. You aren't missing too much, the sound quality is usually pretty bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 What's the story with Liberation Records and this label -- did they buy them out or something? I just remember Liberation putting out a whole bunch of CDs billed as "_____ Live At The Fireside Bowl" a few years back, and the recordings were the same as the VMLive ones. I remember Anti-Flag denouncing the release on their website, saying they didn't authorize it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowserhound Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Joey Vindictive was VML (Vindictives Music Live) and somewhere along the line I think he sold the rights to his whole catalog to Liberation, and that's when they re-released all of the Vindictives stuff and so forth. I have the whole set of VML 7"s if you have any specific questions, PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclz Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Someone needs to Google that internet fight from like 1996 with the dude from Liberation (who is like 16), Mark Hoppus and Tom Delonge, and a bunch of other punk band/label peoples. I know I linked it in a thread way back (something that had to do with Blink 182 and Virgil). Its a great read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 If I remember right, VML struck up a manufacturing/distro deal with Liberation, then Liberation just started pressing things they didn't really have authorization to, and then paid no one involved for the sales. Never heard anything good about that label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Still, Punk Sucks was a hell of a comp. They don't make 'em like that anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Here's the catalog in pictures. If anyone wants this for an archive or anything I can do a hi-res scan later in the week: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davehoffa Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Just in case anyone cares: that Flim Flams LP is amazing (and not just because my sister played on it). It's three of the Vindictives, Joey's wife and my sister. They recorded the music for the 7" listed in that catalog, but never the vocals. Then, my sister put together the artwork for Hypno-Punko and they never paid her or talked to her again. Real nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
