SHOCK THERAPY

Shock Therapy

US LP released on Metro-America Records in 1985.

The brainchild of a disturbed 19 year-old, Shock Therapy was created in 1984 by lead singer/guitarist/synthesist Gregory John McCormick A.K.A. Itchy. After spending an influential period of his teenage years in the care of psychiatric institutions, Itchy channelled pent-up aggressions creatively in his early adult life to what is now the most original, raw underground music group in existence today. Critics and fans alike agree- no band does what Shock Therapy does, has done and continues to do in the studio or on the stage.

The first release of Shock Therapy in 1985 was the self-titled 6-song EP which featured the huge underground cult-classic "Hate Is A 4-Letter Word". After touring the USA as a headline act throughout 1985 and early 86, the band was informed of the first EPs success in Europe. The rest is history. Shock Therapy gave up touring in the USA altogether in favor of the more esoteric European audiences.

Many band-members took up residence in Germany, the center of the then-rising industrial-techno-punk sound of the late 1980s - the sound that was pioneered by Shock Therapy in their earliest musical releases and stage performances. After six successful tours throughout Europe from 1986 through 1992 singer Itchy once again turned his eyes toward home.

---------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SIX (6) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

***Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually***

---------------------------------------------------

COMBINED POSTAGE FOR DIFFERENT FORMATS will be invoiced at my discretion:

While I am happy to combine (for example) one or two 7” singles into one package with 12” records, sometimes it simply isn’t practical (like if you want me to combine one 12” record with three or more 7” records). I simply do not think that these combinations can be packaged together safely and securely. Therefore these will be invoiced separately as two packages.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE, please contact me before bidding!

---------------------------------------------------

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
