I’m still disappointed the book wasn’t interested in diving into the non “punk” directions the label took from the late ’80s. Like, I don’t remember if it even mentions Ginn’s affinity for Tim Harding of the Richmond scene; I just got a mint copy of the Office Ladies LP on New Alliance from 1989, unopened until I sliced the shrink rap to put it on my turntable 20 minutes ago, and it’s great! But it’s like, Black Flag breaks up, the partners sell to Ginn, Ray Farrell and Mugger leave, and Ruland’s immediately uninterested in the story. Like, I dunno man, stuff like Issues Records and why it existed is interesting to me, but the book doesn’t even acknowledge it existed!

instead of like spending $44 billion dollars to ruin an app, i wish some billionaire with too much money would buy everything associated with SST and hand it over to the folks at Numero Group to give it the treatment it all deserves

agreed, altho Ginn has probably ruined the masters already through poor storage etc
