The Erector Set 7"

Photobucket

The Erector Set was a band from Brighton, Massachusetts who recorded this 7" in 1980/81.
The song 'Inside out' was on the 1998 Jump Up Records compilation 'Death of an American Skathic'. They also did the live song 'G.I. Jump' on the first American Skathic. Aside from that I know of nothing else they've recorded.

    Yes, an EP from the same time period (4 songs, 12" disc), a couple hundred copies printed. I have a copy but it is 1700 miles from where I am now on afriend's shelf. They were originally from Cincinatti, Ohio and moved to Boston area. Great band, seen 'em 100 times back then, well, I was theri soundboy back in the day.

    "Inside Out" also appeared on the classic 1983 ROIR Records cassette "Trouser Press Presents: The Best Of America Underground" where the band is listed as being from Ohio. Can't thank you enough for throwing this up.

    That song "Inside Out" is a great power-pop/ska song.
