ADRENALIN - Cumz N Goes/Rock N Roll Screamer

Detroit Rock circa 1976 meant one thing and one thing only:-Ç the ready-made light beer commercial sounds of Night Moves by Silver Bullet Bob Seger.-Ç And if that one fact is not enough to convince you that the high time, high-tide of high-powered Motor City rock was definitively dead mid-Me-Decade then you can see also Glenn Frey.-Ç However, there remained many ideological hold-outs; bright spots amongst the burned-out crags of Detroits blighted skyline:-Ç Sonics Rendezvous, Death, The Dogs, Lightnin.-Ç -Ç But the band that came the closest in true garage group style to recapturing the excitement and spirit of the Grande Ballroom with one fell double-sided swoop before hopping a bus-ride back to nowhere was Adrenalin.-Ç Looking, from surviving video footage, like the featured entertainment at a Hamtramck Junior Prom, but sounding like a junior varsity MC5, the Guitar Army rampage on Rock N Roll Screamer reeks of amphetamines and A2 residue; the gymnastic histrionics of Sonic Smith most particularly.-Ç The flip-sides no slouch either.-Ç Easily in the same league as City Slang, Raw Power or Borderline, Rock N Roll Screamer, originally issued without a picture sleeve on the obscure local Fiddlers imprint, is the happiest of accidents as Adrenalins intentions were never proto-punk glory.-Ç The best record I dont own and, in my mind, the best justification for the continued search for obscure and unknown records.-Ç BUY IT NOW! -Collin Makamson.

After nearly a decade of false starts, multiple game plans veering off the rails, and a handful of shattered hopes and/or dreams, the odyssey is finally complete—the new Fusetron site is here.

This is the first phase of a multipart rollout that will span the next few months: the currently browsable stock includes miscellaneous new releases from the past 8+ months (we have a lot of catching up to do), plus approximately a third of our backstock. Note that we’ve reduced/slashed prices on many titles and will continue to do so in order to make room for new stock. We’ll also be expanding / tweaking / improving / debugging the site itself (for example, we still have work to do on the automated international postage system, not to mention the inevitable inventory discrepancies that come with transferring an ancient and massive database to a new system).

Over the next few months, as we take inventory, clean house, and delve into our storage, we will be uploading thousands of additional items, gradually, on a near-daily basis. This will include the majority of the LPs, as well as many titles, in all formats, once thought long-gone. Many currently “sold out” items are likely to resurface.

Finally, once our general backstock is up (probably in the next two or three months) we’ll begin making our extensive stockpile of rarities available online for the first time: tons of random out-of-print titles, "deadstock," warehouse finds, secondhand collectibles, etc., accumulated over the past few decades.

Frequent/returning customers will be getting early access to these items. Details to follow on how this will work (a priority mailing list? a 'frequent flyer'-like program?), but it will not be based on dollars spent. We want to reward those who consistently support us, especially in the discogs marketplace era (to those who show up trying to poach five copies of a one-off rarity, and nothing else, ever… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).

So—we suggest you take some time to dig through the site—even we’ve been surprised by what’s been turning up, and there’s much more to come.
