Various "Be Gay, Do Crime" RE LP (2020)

Details: Various "Be Gay, Do Crime" RE LP (2020, Girlsville Records). New stock repress! Black vinyl, new—but small cover top split and heavy visible corner bend from shipping (VG). Record is M (never played). 

Description: "Be Gay, Do Crime!" is a Girlsville benefit compilation for Prism Health in Portland, Oregon. "Prism Health is committed to offering safe, compassionate, and affirming primary and mental health care to all members of the LGBTQ+ community."

"The comp has new and exclusive music from bands like Osees, Gen Pop, Germ House, and UK Gold. Some stuff that had fallen out of print (The Primitives 2016 cover of "Been Hiding" by The Aislers Set), and then some songs bands gave us just to be a part of it. Artwork and design concept: Anna Jo Beck. Mastered by Patrick Haight."

"Girlsville hits it out of the park with this one. This comp is absolutely killer and features such heavy hitters as GEN POP, STIFF LOVE, and even a new track by OSEES (the newly renamed/revived OH SEES), as well as sixteen more tracks. It’s impossible to pick a favorite track off of this as it hits a lot of different bases. I was most surprised by how driving and gritty the OSEES song on here is, though; haven’t heard that band sounding this nasty in a while and I absolutely love it. Listen to this comp, make a donation to Prism Health if you can, and perhaps most importantly do what the label says: be gay, do crime!"--Biff Bafaro, MAXIMUM ROCKNOLL
