STAINS- John Wayne was a Nazi, b/w Born to die 7" (RRadical Records, USA, 1980)
Texass up yours! Since I recently posted the first DICKS 7″, I thought I had to follow up with this first release from Rradical Records. STAINS were basically, as you know, what was later known as MDC.
“John Wayne was a Nazi”, though it’s quite obvious that he wasn’t, has become a real catch phrase and should be regarded as such. Whereas I didn’t enjoy the flip too much back in the day, I nowaydays find it fantastic! The stakkato preachy singing of the singer alreadys shows up here but is still way more bareable than in MDC. I never saw MDC live but the Flipside Video is hillarious – the singer spends more time preaching than singing.
I’ve had two pressings of this originally. Next to the one featured here, there’s one with b/w cover and the addition of “MDC” next to the band name. This later version also had a different mastering job, if I’m not mistaken. Please fill us in and / or provide a rip of the 2nd press, if you can.

Saw MDC for their first couple of LA shows, once with Minor Threat (1stLA gig) & the Zero Boys (1st LA gig) and 2nd time at the Whisky with DOA. I totally thought they were kidding! Some bald dude who looked like Don Rickles saying “This song is about McDonalds, DON’T EAT THERE”" Thought it was supposed to be funny, punk band yelling at me not to eat junk food. Bought the LP and realized they didn’t mean to be funny. Or maybe they did think it was somewhat funny when they were still the Stains, to make ridiculous statements like Corporate Deathburger or John Wayne is a Nazi, but took it seriously when they went to SF and were influenced by MRR.

Great post, thanx for sharing this. These two early recordings of these two songs are quite a bit different from the versions the band played as MDC. I think I like these two better. My band got to play with MDC a couple of times at small shows in Northern California and I found them to be very good natured. I wish there were more bands out there like them. Thanx again for the post.

You think he’d be rich if somebody bought one of his items? 900$ make you a rich man? That’s quite an interesting definition of being rich. Haha.
Anyway: t’s a free market. If Rob wants 900$ for this and somebody pays it, then it’s great for Rob. I once sold a Fear Of God 12″ for 1600$. I didn’t feel bad one second long.

i wouldn’t pay that much for a record with two songs on it that i probably couldn’t play. i’m more about the music then collecting. like the time when i found a lot of oldschool punk and hc records in a box just sitting around. it had the first rf7 7 (fuck yeah!) as well as the first redd kross lp. i smashed the records that i didn’t like. the guy who bought this i feel sorry for him.

i just got the repress in the mail today. What’s Going On? the songs were taken from the LP versions not the original recording. i was expecting the original versions, but oh well, it was only $5. it did come with a nice little insert located here (i think some of the lyrics are wrong): http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BR4lNNvUhuk/SyrVt7Nmu6I/AAAAAAAAAMI/qBpWLb8S5Dw/s1600-h/mdc_insert.jpg
