Severe Pig by Doc Wör Mirran
This album was so important for DWM as it was the very first vinyl album. The vinyl freaks that DWM are, we really wanted one of those typical American style LP covers, just like those old worn out Beatles albums everyone all knows and loves, where the cover is actually printed on paper, and then glued onto a cardboard cover. When this came out, Ron of RRRecords, who handled the pressing in the USA and whose label co-released this with eMpTy, claimed that it sold out so fast that it was the only record he ever released that was sold out before he could put it into his catalog! Musically, it is one of DWM's typical hybrid albums, featuring both guitar oriented tracks mixed with industrial and experimental, and although the production can be rough, it has stood the test of time and remains one of the best DWM releases. Standout tracks include "The Human Prospect", "Joel Selvin Can't Dance", and both parts of "Everyday". Recorded from May 1987 through May 1988, and ncludes an insert. Edition of 500 copies, it is today very rare.
