Exclusively for Record Store Day’s Black Friday!
On November 23rd, Sub Pop gets into the Christmas spirit / fires the latest salvo in the war on Christmas by releasing Green River’s ‘Away in a Manger’ and the U-Men’s ‘Blue Christmas’ as a split 7” single for Record Store Day’s Black Friday. The exclusive single is limited to a total of 2,000 copies, will be pressed on both translucent green and translucent red vinyl (1k copies per color), and features front and back cover art from cartoonist Peter Bagge.
Green River’s sick & unholy rendition of the classic Christmas tune “Away in a Manger,” was originally released on the long out of print C/Z Records compilation entitled Another Pyrrhic Victory: The Only Compilation of Dead Seattle God Bands.
U-Men’s slurring, lurching, belly crawling, pisstake on “Blue Christmas” was originally available on the Christmas ‘84 cassette compilation that very few will remember having ever been in print.
Two ugly orphans, brought together to live as one grinning, writhing glump of career-capping, Christmas gak! Happy birthday baby Jesus!
Green River / U-Men
