LABEL LISTINGS

To finish up here's a couple of label listings. You might be tempted to buy something on VVV because you've been told it's as good a label as Dangerhouse, but hold on - there's records on VVV way worse than Howard Werth (which I happen to like, by the way, zerozerozerozero...).

Existential Vacuum exists to reissue old and lost Texas punk and to issue some good recent stuff (marked * below).
