Stretch Marks - Who & What? The Complete Studio Recordings (SE-002) $14CDN
This marks the first time that both Who's In Charge and What D'ya See will be on CD. Not only that, but both recordings have been remastered from the original tapes by Craig Boychuk!
In addition to these two seminal slabs being digitized for the first time, we've added both of their compilation appearances and have unearthed their last recording with the original line-up: the previously-unreleased "Not Your Decision". Included are liner notes from Pages Of Rage editors Chris Walter (GFY Press) and Matt Vinet, plus loads of rare photos and artwork from the archives!


Personality Crisis (SE-003) $20CDN
This one was a doozy to put together. Not only did we track down the original masters of Personality Crisis' sole album, Creatures For Awhile, as well as their second five-song studio demo, we unearthed an amazing digital transfer of their first three-song demo from original PC drummer Mark Halldorson! But wait, there's more! While we were digging through photos and material, Walter Kot (original PC guitarist) found the master tape that the band recorded in 1982 while down in San Francisco! An undocumented recording session, the tape features six of the album tracks in early, furious form, plus a completely unreleased song called "Fashion's Ruining Music". We tacked on the two compilation tracks, bringing the grand total up to TWENTY-NINE studio recordings. They wouldn't all fit onto one disc, so this one's gonna be spread out over two. Again, big fat liner notes from Pages Of Rage editors Chris Walter (GFY Press) and Matt Vinet, plus loads of rare photos and artwork from the archives!


Pre-orders up now if anyone's interested.

Cheers for the heads up. I had heard of Personality Crisis, but not Stretch Marks, and after listening to some tracks on YouTube I'm definitely interested in getting these to add to my Can-Con collection. Nice to see some CD releases and not vinyl-only. :)

Me too. They will also be available on Bandcamp and iTunes (although I think the Stretch Marks will only be available on Canadian iTunes as BYO still owns the rights to their LP in the US).

Not that familiar with Stretch Marks, maybe heard one song on a comp a long time ago.

The Personality Crisis album is a classic. I have the LP reissue from a few years back but I'm glad to see this getting released on CD too. I'll have to pick it up eventually.
