The Trend - “Electric Chair/Band Aid” (7″) (Northside Records/USA 1980)
As an act of appreciation for this website, I am posting this classic unadulterated teen-pop-punk single. The (stronger) B-side was featured on V/A-”Killed by Death #10 ” (LP) and quite rightly so. Unfortunately, the original copies I have seen so far have been selling on eBay in excess of $600-$1200 depening on the condition. “Batman Live At Budokan” (LP) is also brilliant and, despite the misleading title, is a studio album; there is a reissue of the LP with 7″ tracks added as bonus on Hate records (Italy). A coprehensive biography is featured here.

It’s an ok record but prices for this one is just ridicoulus. Thanks for the post so people know what they might spend their money on.
this record is fucking magic. i think that i heard it on the rave-up records LP, and ive been looking for a copy ever since, and i dont seem to be finding. i havent looked on ebay, mind you…600-1200 seems steep, but i think there are very very few of this single left.
I fucking love this record!! Teenage powerpop/punk at it’s absolute best. The “no, wait Mark. That’s on the other side.” is absolutely hilarious. AMAZING TRIVIA FACT TIME: Tom Kenny (Mr. Show, voice of SpongeBob Squarepants and countless other cartoon characters) and Bobcat Goldthwait were both original members of Trend. Neither are on this recording though.
