Selling by Branca. This is the original first edition LP of Rat At

Rat R's first album AMER$IDE released on Neutral

Records (N-12) in 1985. Mint in shrink wrap.  The cover has a small bend in the upper left hand corner as you can see in the photo.  The record is sealed and the vinyl is mint.

In addition to the album the Neutral Catalog of

an earlier period (pictured above) is included in the

purchase.  The catalog will be signed by Branca before mailing.  

The LP also includes an insert by the band.

FYI: Rat At Rat R is originally from

Harrisburg, Pa. where I (Glenn Branca) was

born and raised. They moved to Philadelphia 

and then NYC. Sonda is in fact my second 

cousin although we only met once

when we were kids. When they moved to

NYC they contacted me and played me their

tape. I was immediately blown away. There

was no nepotism here. They would become

known as the best live band in the city. Later

John Myers would become a member of my

ensemble and then the conductor of my 100

guitar piece: Symphony No. 13 (Hallucination

City).
