Stay Fanatic!!! Vol. 3

By Henry Rollins

Fanatic! Thank you so much for coming back. Last time around, I was faced with some challenges in developing the manuscript. If Stay Fanatic!!! Vol. 2 was only going to take in 2016, it would have been too short. If I included the writing from 2017 as well, it would have been too much, even by Fanatic standards. I decided to put the two years of writing together, divide the word count in half and round to the nearest month. If you’re expecting a radical divergence in subject matter this time around, forget it! We’re going to check out rare records, interesting clippings, obsess over the minuscule and wade through tributaries of information, notebooks out and headlamps on full. This time around, I decided not to use 7”s on the cover but instead, bootleg LPs. I figured it would make things interesting. I started work on this immediately after finishing SF!!! V2 and it’s only now, a good way into 2021, that we have concluded work on the manuscript and scans. In an effort to dig the “nothing new here” trench even deeper, work on the next installment has commenced. I know. As I said in the previous volume, if I could stop, I would. Thanks again for investing your time in this “Really, HR, this is a bit much” endeavor. Stay Fanatic!!! -- Henry 07-27-21 Los Angeles, CA

CHAPTER 1

June 2017

06-01-17 Burbank CA: 2042 hrs. Fanatic! At the Starbucks in Burbank. I promised myself I would get out of the office, even if just for a little while, before I have to start the second shift. I’m leaving for some television work in Spokane, WA soon and want to make sure all the radio shows are done well without hurrying.

The last few days have been pretty weak on the listening front. I signed two thousand copies of my new book Before The Chop III yesterday and as a soundtrack, used the first three Radio Helsinki broadcasts. So, I heard a lot of music but it wasn’t new and I wasn’t able to put some numbers on the board except for listening to the Boris/Merzbow collaboration Rock Dream. Another great Boris album. They do a lot of work with Merzbow. I have at least one or two of his records but really don’t know much about him or his work.

A couple of things on this Thursday night, Fanatic. First off, I wrote Nicky Garratt a few days ago after I saw there was a new record by his band Hedersleben, called Orbit. I got it as soon as I saw it. I want to hear anything Mr. Garratt’s doing. I don’t think he needs any introduction but just in case, Fanatic, Nicky was the guitarist in some band called the UK Subs. Incredible player. I’ve written to you about this band and his playing more than a lot. He and I keep in touch, exchanging the occasional email. His letters are always deep and I usually take a couple of days to think about what to bring up when I reply, without using too many words. This is a promo shot of Nicky.

In his recent letter, he wrote about owning things and passing the period of maximum possessions and that, at some point, you have to realize that there might be a lot of books on your shelf that you won’t get read and that the same fate might befall some of your records. It’s an interesting dynamic that one establishes with having things like books and records. They’re probably in some kind of order. That shows a need for organization and control. You play a record and put it back on the shelf, perhaps not sure if you’ll ever play it again. Even if you don’t dig the record all that much, you still want to keep it, so it now has a different purpose in your collection, which is part of the purpose of having a collection. Why keep it? Because now it has a place, a place that you invented. I know what I’m trying to get across but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to find the words. I’ll give it a try: I think a record collection can establish its own momentum and even its own agenda. It becomes more than just a bunch of records, more than a guide to what you like and, in a lot of ways, who you are, but a separate entity that defines itself beyond the fact that you’re the one who assembled it, making it what it is. I know! Phenomenology. Here’s one definition I found online: an approach that concentrates on the study of consciousness and the objects of direct experience. By working at putting together a great record collection, you can create something that’s far more than the sum of the parts. You can build a temple of aspiration. For me, my records are more than just a mere collection. It’s a progressive and relentlessly evolving thing that, as time passes, more clearly defines itself. If the records are added from any emotionally based motivation, be it curiosity, affection for the music, something about the record itself, it doesn’t matter, as long as the intent is sincere, then their presence is valid, not gratuitous or some investment to make money later. In this way, with inanimate objects, you’re creating something truly amazing, almost living. Your record collection is as unique as a finger print. This is one of the reasons I rarely part with a record. Sometimes I get one for whatever reason and then discover it’s not of my interest. Something tells me that it doesn’t belong in the collection. I’m not trying to be mean! I take good care of it and get it to Amoeba where it can go to another home and hopefully to the right turntable, the one it was supposed to be on. This happens very rarely but it happens. I like that concept of a record belonging in your collection. Only you determine that and your reasons are yours alone. I’ve shed a few records because they just didn’t belong with me. It’s not rejection, it’s a chance for the record to go where it’s supposed to and for my collection to be more aligned with my life. A lot of human existence in civilized society is about compromise and negotiation. There has to be some places where you don’t have to hold back. Music is where I go for this little to no restraint environment.

The lugging of records from all over the world, carrying them for weeks, getting them back in good condition, records found after years of searching, these are the ones that you will find in my collection. There are stories welded to these records, how I became interested in them, when and where they were acquired, what it took to get them. There’s something to all of this that’s really cool. If possible, I would like to have the collection kept intact, at least to be databased as a thing unto itself. Then, if that aspect is no longer an asset, let it be dismantled so the records can find themselves on the right shelf elsewhere. A perfect transference of energy and devotion. It would be great if the next person who had the record understood that it was an object of affection, that it was enjoyed and should be looked after with the greatest of care. This, Fanatic, is what I was trying to say. In my mind I have this Fanatic idea of a large room, shelves custom built to safely house all the records, a desk with a computer and a scanner and someone in there every day, taking down information, scanning images and eventually, putting all the information online for free and easy access. If anyone was ever curious as to what was in the collection, they have a resource that’s in a constant state of update and addition. It would be great to have a few years in there to give the next curator some information and provide information I might inadvertently take with me upon expiration. Yes, Fanatic, this is the kind of thing that fills my thoughts!

And now, in a startling change of topic, albums by Wire are some of the best ever made. Some versions of their early records are sought after but not on the level of rare records by bands like the Damned, the Clash or Buzzcocks. They weren’t putting out different picture sleeves in territories of distribution like the aforementioned bands. They just weren’t marketed that way, which I think fits the mood of the music and posture of the band. The sleeves of their records, while artistically high minded, were fairly utilitarian. There are, however, some moments for Fanatic finds when it comes to Wire’s catalog. You might remember me telling you on 04-09-16, I was able to acquire a one-sided acetate of I Am The Fly. This inspired me to check the all knowing 45cat.com site to see if I had every variant of this record, only to discover I was missing one. I finally found it. In fact, I unpacked it not a few hours ago. Some cool images to show you. We will absolutely get to that. More soon, Fanatic! 2139 hrs.

06-03-17 Burbank CA: 2009 hrs. Fanatic! Back at the Starbucks. It’s Saturday night. I’m out the door on Friday to Spokane for almost three weeks to work on a show called Z Nation. Of course my character gets killed. Why would it be any other way? It’s employment and I’m grateful for it.

I’ve been working to get the radio shows done for the time I’ll be gone, so that was pretty much all I got up to last night. I really wanted to get out of the office but it wasn’t going to happen. The shows are really good and I’m almost done. I spent most of the day working on the last of the three. I’ll put the voice tracks down tonight and tomorrow.

So, let’s check out the variants of the Wire I Am The Fly/Ex Lion Tamer 7".

Warning! Fanatic Label Gazing Activity Ahead Dept.

Wire - I Am The Fly / Ex Lion Tamer (Harvest/EMI UK label variants) 7": As best I can find, HAR 5151 was released in the UK only, February of 1978.

Perhaps, in an effort to not give too much away about the upcoming Wire LP, Chairs Missing, which would be released in September of that year, HAR 5151 offers a song that would feature on Chairs as the A side, and a song from Wire’s previous album Pink Flag, on the B. As the band had shows in the spring of 1978, this would be a smart release. It gives them a new song to put out there and they can tour on it, which it looks like they did.

Wire’s next record would be another 7", HAR 5161, released in June with Dot Dash/Options R, which are, as far as I can find, exclusive to this release. Chairs was still months away. If I have all this correct, it might be a good way to keep fans interested. They’ve already heard one track from the next album and now they get two tracks that won’t be on the album. In the UK, having a new record in the shops, even if it’s just a 7, is enough to get a band on the road for some shows. The internet says that England is approximately 243,610 square kilometers, while the USA is approximately 9,833,517 square kilometers, so it stands to reason that a 7 could generate enough interest to book some shows around.

Here are all the pressing variants I’ve been able to find. So far, I’ve passed the 45cat site test, that is to say, I’ve got what they’ve got, which in itself is a good start. In order of what I’ve found to be the easiest variants to track down to the most difficult, here they are. This is the push out center variant.

The push out center variant is around at the usual places. The next one, I don’t see all that often but it’s around. The price jumps up a bit but at the time of this writing, not all that much. You’ll notice the promo A and the demo notation in the center.

I’m guessing that this solid center variant was the second pressing. Just now, I saw three of them on Discogs from 28 to 43 USD.

This is where I break from 45cat. I’ve seen three of these on Popsike. I think amongst them is the one I have. This is a single-sided test pressing of I Am The Fly.

These are all the pressing variants I’m aware of. I wonder if there’s a two-sided test pressing out there. Just because I’ve never seen it doesn’t mean there isn’t one.

Okay, still on the topic, here’s the variant of this record I’ve only seen one time.

Flight Of The Maltese Falcon Dept.

Wire - I Am The Fly (one-sided acetate) 7": You might remember that I got this in April of last year for about 437 USD. As I recall, it was one of those nine day auctions that felt like forever. This is the only Wire acetate I’ve seen, but as far as collecting their records, what I don’t know is eclipsed by what I do.

I’m always looking for interesting things from Wire’s EMI period and this is the rarest record of theirs I’ve found so far.

I thought it would be interesting to follow up on the examination of the Orgasm Addict/What Ever Happened To? 7" we did on 05-26-17 with the next record Buzzcocks released on 02-03-78, with What Do I Get/Oh Shit. It just occurred to me that their first two singles on UA both have language that would keep them from radio play. There’s no way this was missed by the label, right? It must have been in someone’s playbook. I don’t see the upside of that in a country with a government run radio service that has language and content restrictions. At least this time around, the radio unfriendly track was relegated to the B side. Perhaps this was a plan to get some press? I don’t know. They’re two great songs nonetheless.

The first Buzzcocks 7" on United Artists was released in the UK and France. The second one was released in those territories as well as Portugal, Holland, Belgium and Germany. One of the things I find interesting about this record is that besides the push out center UK pressing, the other variants rarely surface. In smaller territories, there’s not the demand for many to be manufactured so the UK version would be finding its way to the shops anyway. Variants of this record ended up being some of the rarest of the entire Buzzcocks catalog. This place is closing soon. To be continued. 2139 hrs.

2227 hrs. LA CA: Fanatic! We resume. It’s obvious that UA saw the commercial potential of Buzzcocks, hence the expansion of territories the second 7 was released in. Perhaps the B side with the language issues was to take advantage of the punk" thing that had almost immediately become a marketing tool. Just my opinion but this was unnecessary with Buzzcocks songs. They didn’t need any gimmickry as the sheer brilliance of their music was obvious. I think UA got it soon enough. For the sake of pacing, let’s look at just the UK variants I’ve been able to find so far. I’ve been at this for decades but as we learn over and over, a Fanatic would be foolish to think they’ve seen it all. This is why when I write to you about these records, I strive to make it clear that this might not be the end of the story. I’ll never be an expert but I’ll always be a Fanatic! So, here are all the UK variants I’ve been able to find.

Warning! Fanatic Label Gazing Activity Ahead Dept.

Buzzcocks - What Do I Get? / Oh Shit (UA UK pressing variants) 7": The color scheme for this is as well considered as the music. Two shades of green on both sleeve and label look really cool. Interesting that in the time when Punk Rock was all about day-glo and outrageous images, the picture sleeve for this record is a model of minimalism and understatement which, to me at least, reeks of quiet confidence.

As cool as the covers of Buzzcocks 7"s were, they were rivaled by the advertising for them. Malcolm Garrett gave the band a great look not only on the records but in the music newspapers as well. This is a small color promo poster, the only one I’ve ever seen, and an advert from 02-04-78.

As we come to find with UK origin Buzzcocks 7s on United Artists, the most easily found is the push-out center variant. I think it’s cool that instead of a B on the B side, there’s a 1" instead.

At the time of this writing, you can find this record in the usual places at fair prices. Buzzcocks sold a lot of records, so they’re still easy to find and looking for a good home. For years I suspected that the Singles Going Steady LP was responsible for a situation where people switched out their 7s for the LP. No! Keep your 7s to the end!

Solid center Buzzcocks 7"s are difficult to find. The ones I see most often are for the Promises/Lipstick 7", then Orgasm Addict/ What Ever Happened To?, then Ever Fallen In Love… (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve) / Just Lust. Of all the solid center variants, in my experience at least, it’s been the ones for What Do I Get?/Oh Shit and Love You More/Noise Annoys, which I’ve only seen images of online. I finally found a copy of the former only recently. It was one of those great eBay moments. I was, for the millionth time, in the Buzzcocks section, looking and there it was, I think the seller had it for 8 USD, buy-it-now, so-I-did.

What Do I Get? / Oh Shit A label promo 1 side

This is pretty interesting. There are, as far as I know, at least three promo variants of this record. Here’s the A label version.

What Do I Get? / Oh Shit promo A side

What Do I Get? / Oh Shit (w/notation) promo 1 side

This one comes up fairly often for an almost four decades old record, as does the next one. The A label seems to be the retail version but the 1 label side has a demo notation under the spindle hole.

What Do I Get? promo notation A side

What Do I Get? white label 1 side

The next one I don’t see very often. I forget when I got mine. I’ve been at this so long, it all runs together. This variant is one-sided, with a white label/ blank B side.

What Do I Get? one-sided test pressing

To further annoy, there’s a test pressing of the one-sided promo.

I have a two-sided test pressing for this but I’m not sure if it’s real. It’s frustrating that there are fake test pressings going around but there are. I have a feeling mine is not legit. I’m going to default to it not being real. I can tell you that what I have is a blank white label, push out center. You can see it in your mind! If there are acetates that were cut for this record, I haven’t seen any. There were a lot of acetates for this band. So, I’m always on the search.

Fanatic, the next variant has been talked about enough in collector circles and it’s possible that you know of it and within a few seconds you were officially bored and on to the next thing. Smart! What I’m talking about is the Peaches/Oh Shit mispress. The A side is by the Stranglers. Knowing that mispressings aren’t common but they do happen, it’s useful to look at the catalog number. Sometimes, the wrong master is selected and pressed. When you line them up, the numbers are close. Perhaps this is what led to the mispress.

The Stranglers - Peaches/Go Buddy Go UA 36248

Buzzcocks - What Do I Get/Oh Shit UA 36348

It looks like the regular push-out center pressing. I’m not going to bother showing it to you but I promise it’s here.

One of the reasons I’m so fascinated by the UA period of Buzzcocks is because I remember when these records were coming out. I wasn’t up on checking out all the music newspapers from the UK, so I never knew exactly when a new Buzzcocks single was released but after the first couple, I just remained in a perpetual state of readiness for the next one. The fact that, for the most part, the songs were not on their albums made it all the better. Most bands feature songs from their current album as the A side and something unreleased on the B. Buzzcocks seemed to have so many songs, they didn’t need to prop up the album. I remember I would get these records to my turntable and be amazed at how good the songs were. In my small and low information world of music, I wasn’t aware of any band I was listening to that was releasing one amazing 7" after another like Buzzcocks. Were there other bands from the genre releasing records in this manner? Fanatic, I’m beat. More at some point. 2356 hrs.

06-08-17 Spokane WA: 2023 hrs. Fanatic! I’m in a Starbucks down the street from a hotel I’ll be living in for almost three weeks as I work on Z Nation. It’s about a zombie apocalypse. Yup. I work for a living and this is work. Beyond gratitude for the opportunity, I have no other feelings about it. I have a minimum wage mindset on all this. It’s work, I’m showing up.

Fanatic, as I told you weeks ago, Radio Helsinki in Finland contacted me and asked if they could replay shows I had done for KCRW. They were looking for content, basically. Two things wrong with this. KCRW would be less than happy, and who could blame them, and who wants to hear a re-run? As far as I was concerned, there were only two ways to go. Either say no thanks, or make twelve shows just for Radio Helsinki. Fanatic, you know me and can probably guess which route I took. Below are the show notes for the first one.

RADIO HELSINKI #01

June 07 2017

Radio Helsinki Listener! My name is Henry Rollins and I was given the great opportunity to put together some shows for Radio Helsinki.

Months ago, the station contacted me and asked if I would be interested in making twelve shows to run weekly over the summer. I said yes and immediately got to work.

If all goes according to plan, we will be together for twelve shows! The dates are as follows:

01. June 07

02. June 14

03. June 21

04. June 28

05. July 05

06. July 12

07. July 19

08. July 26

09. August 02

10. August 09

11. August 16

12. August 23

With this many shows, there were a lot of different ways to go. I listen to a lot of music from Finland. You should hear my radio show on 89.9 FM KCRW in California as I try to pronounce Kemialliset Ystävät or Tomutonttu. Actually, it’s probably better that you didn’t. At least I have the records. I figured I would stay away from Finnish music as you would probably be familiar with it and it would be too frustrating to fail at pronouncing Finnish words to a Finnish audience. Believe it or not, bands from Finland make up a large part of my listening. I would like to hear more of their work and learn more about them.

I also decided that perhaps it was best to stay away from too much Drone, Noise, Musique Concrète and other Avant forms of music. These genres make up a large part of my listening as well. It’s one thing to listen to some of these records in your room but on the radio, in context with other music, I don’t know if it works as well. I’m in no way trying to imply that you don’t have the ability to appreciate all kinds of music. I’m sure there’s nothing you can’t handle, it’s that just because a piece of music is good, doesn’t mean it works in every context.

Since there’s time for about ninety some minutes of music per show, my goal was to make a really good C-90 mix tape. For the most part, I wanted to keep the sonic landscape changing frequently and try to match the music to the temperature and light cycle you’ll be experiencing in the weeks to come. From what I was able to gather, your high temperatures will be in the low 20s Celsius and since the show goes on at 1900 hrs., it will be daylight. Believe it or not, I actually put together these shows with all this in mind.

I know that might sound strange and it probably is but I associate certain bands/ albums/songs with different times of the year. To me, there’s cold weather listening, warm, hot, etc. There are records I will not play in the day time. Maybe a song or two but not the entire album. Here are some examples of what I mean. Will we listen to David Bowie? Of course! Just not anything from Station To Station, Low, or Heroes. To me, those are not warm weather Bowie albums. Will we listen to music by the Damned? We better! Just not anything from the Black Album. If we were together in October, we might listen to the entire album in one show. These associations are in my head, completely. I think it comes from all the years I’ve been on the road and dragging tapes all over the place with me for months at a time.

I’ve had a radio show in the USA for over a decade. I sometimes do guest residencies, if you will, on stations all over the world, kind of like what I’m doing with Radio Helsinki. I occasionally substitute for The Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Of Rock And Roll, that would be Iggy Pop, on his BBC Radio 6 Music show. Getting music out to people is one of the best things I’ve ever had the opportunity to do. Of course, one of my main aims is to make a really good show, but perhaps more than that is to make you curious so you search out more information on some of these bands and actually get the records, thus helping to keep the band moving forward. In my opinion, great bands and music is ours to lose when we don’t show our support.

You might think I’m a maniac (which is likely the case), but I try to buy one to three records a day and try to listen to five minimum. I actually keep lists of what I listen to and in what order. You want to see one? No problem! Here’s the one from April of this year.
