These guys were a obscure hardcore punk band from San Antonio Texas. I first heard them in the late 80's on the compilation LP "cottage cheese from the lips of death". From what I know they only appeared on that comp, and this 7" ep. I think people from outside the area were pretty offended by the bands record cover, record title, and song titles/lyrics. From what I've heard people from the area, and people that knew them knew that this record was a total joke, and they were just trying to have fun(yeah I know, at womens expense), and trying to offend people. It's no wonder people could give two shits about this record... their loss, because this record is a heafty punk rock ripper.

Any idea how many copies were made? Seems like this one turns up quite frequently. I've had three or four copies over the years.

I'd guess around 500 copies. Are you from Texas? I'm in Austin where the record label was, and I've only seen this once. great stuff. I need a copy if you still have an extra.

I'm not sure how many of these were pressed. My guess is around 500.

With the frequency I've spotted Bang Gang 7"s, I'd venture that many more than 500 were made. Gotta be at least 1,000. Would be awesome if a band member could set us straight.
