    The Md's on Surgeon MD 001. "Brain Damage" 12" LP
    Cover is in VG- condition. (Side seam has a .25" seam split in one corner seam and shelf wear. back cover somewhat yellowed)
    Record is in VG+ condition never has been played. Strong VG
    visually. Overall VG+ Plays Great!
    Very rare Private Pressing!

    The album was recorded in 1980 and put out on their own Surgeon Records label. Interesting mixture of punk, quasi-hardcore and new wave influences. A very good album overall with plenty of attitude and only on the last two songs does the band downshift a little and ease up a bit ending with a ballad laden with synthesizer followed by a reggae influenced number. Overall a very cool and fun album. Hilarious back cover picture that looks like a bunch
    of goofy yearbook photos.

lyrics

We've been so long together
we thought it'd last forever
but now the time has come
you know it's 1981

It's time to say goodbye
come on now don't you cry
wipe those tears from your eyes

We've always had good times
and we've had our bad times too
but in the final test
you know the good times where the best

Our friendships will survive
for the rest of our lives
I love you past the day
that i die

Its 1981
Its 1981 (we only just begun)
Its 1981 (we only just begun)

Its time to wake the dreamer
this is the last time to be seniors
and time just seems to fly
this really is our last goodbye
But we know although we try
we could never say goodbye

Its 1981
Its 1981 (we only just begun)
Its 1981 (we only just begun)

Spoken

"Soon this all will seem,
like dreams and memories
of days when we were young"
In 1981 the good times that we has
just drift into the past
You know this is our last goodbye

Its 1981 NO NO NO
Its 1981 (we only just begun) NO NO NO
Its 1981 (we only just begun)

A bunch of music misfits playing just straight, raw, hard rock n roll.
After 30+ years finally rolling out new tracks for the long due album "Vitals". New songs mixed with a bunch of never released songs that will get you pogo dancing in no time. ... more
