RSD 2020 release. Munster Records present the first vinyl reissue of Warsaw Pakt's Needle Time, originally released in 1977. "Real high-energy rock'n'roll in its most potent form is best captured live and in the moment. Maximum thrills, minimum frills. In 1977, London's Warsaw Pakt took that premise one step further, recording their album live, straight through, direct to the cutting lathe -- no tape master, no overdubs, no mixing. The record was pressed, packed, and shipped overnight and was in the record stores the following day . . . 'The idea was to bypass tape and gain a very accurate recording that would be louder and clearer than any other method then available,' remembers guitarist Andy Colquhoun. If the recording method was motivated by an element of gimmickry, no matter, the blazing urgency of the band's performance, combined with a set of edgy, memorable songs makes Needle Time one of the most exciting releases of the '70s punk era. It's also one of the most neglected. The Pakt favored a high-revving formula with hard-boiled street-smart lyrics delivered quick and cool against super-charged Chuck Berry guitar licks, a modus operandi much like the MC5 circa Back in the USA, but with a vibe that was more attuned to the pubs and squats of their native Ladbroke Grove. Though given a punk rock paint job, the sound is redolent with the fumes of high-octane British R&B, a dead giveaway of their roots, as The Rockets. Along with some choice cover versions, like The Who's 'It's Not True', they looked to the old Rockets songbook and retooled material written by Andy with the Rockets' old manager Frank Day, including some great songs like 'Fruit Machine', 'Dogfight', 'Speeding', and 'Sick n' Tired'. Although R&B based, these tracks all had plenty of attitude and aggression, so worked well in their new 'punkier' context. 'Safe and Warm' was recorded as the single in October 1977, and in the studio the band created a uniquely moody, almost psychedelic sound, Coull laying down a soulful vocal over Colquhuon's screaming guitar lines and Manly's supporting rhythm licks, while some strikingly eerie harmony back-ups add a magical finishing touch. A month later, Warsaw Pakt assembled at Trident Studios to record their 'Instant Album'. Less than 24 hours later, with the band's fingers still bleeding, Needle Time was released . . . More than forty years later, though, Needle Time stands as one of the most authentic documents of the lean, visceral sound of London punk rock in its banner year." --Mike Stax, Ugly Things Magazine Includes 7".

So soft and attractive
Fit Type: Regular Fit, Color: Heather Grey/Heather Grey, Size: X-Large
Bought these for my husband. He loves the fit and they're so soft and don't wrinkle easily. They're also a nice weight. I've washed them a few times and they don't pill or shrink. Wish they came in a larger variety of colors, but plan on ordering more.

Shockingly great affordable basic T- Shirts
Fit Type: Regular Fit, Color: Black/Black, Size: 6X-Large Big Tall
I love these shirts! The fact they are big and tall is amazing. Better than Hanes, Fruit of the Loom, and Gildan. I am 6 foot 5 and heavier than I'd like to admit. I also have a wide chest 64 inches(Its hereditary). I need width and length! It is tough to find a shirt that is big and tall. Literally it's one or the other. Amazon of all places solved this. I did get two that weren't right they replaced them swiftly. Also for some strange reason white is a tad bit smaller in the same size. Usually it's the other way around with other manufacturers. I could not find black shirts that fit me comfortably for years! I was convinced it would be impossible to ever find any that would fit. This felt like a long shot and it paid off! Which is rare. I do not dry them in the dryer I know they will shrink(Probably wouldn't hurt to wash cold). If you want to dry them and you can I would go size up. Not too thin or too heavy wouldn't consider it an undershirt.

New default shirt
Fit Type: Regular Fit, Color: Navy/Navy, Size: Small
Amazon has again proved that it did good research about what makes a good basic garment. I've been wearing these for a few weeks now and honestly I forgot about them because they just fit and are not annoying and don't look bad. They are good. Also the cotton seems high quality and is soft. Also the small fit as expected.

Durable, Comfortable, and a Great Everyday Basic
Size: XX-Large, Color: Navy, Pocket Description: Plain Front
The Amazon Essentials Men’s Relaxed-Fit Heavyweight Cotton T-Shirt is exactly what a good basic tee should be—comfortable, well-made, and built to last. The heavyweight cotton feels substantial without being stiff, and it holds its shape nicely after multiple washes.
The relaxed fit gives plenty of room for movement without looking sloppy, and the fabric has just the right amount of structure for a polished casual look. It works equally well for layering under flannels or wearing on its own.
Pros:
• Thick, high-quality cotton that feels durable
• Relaxed fit for comfort and ease of movement
• Retains shape and color after washing
• Versatile for casual wear or layering
Cons:
• Slightly longer length may not suit shorter torsos
• Limited stretch since it’s 100% cotton
Bottom line: A sturdy, well-fitting T-shirt that’s perfect for everyday wear. Great quality for the price and likely to become a wardrobe staple.
