Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 1980 Six-Song 45rpm Original. "People Are Often At A Loss To Say Exactly What Genre The Invertebrates Represent. Pop, Blues, Rai, R&B, Surf, Jazz, Gospel, Country, Folk, Funk, Punk, You Name It, They've Tried It. Conceived As A Multimedia Performance Group, During The Summer Of 1980, In The Fevered Imaginations Of Three Disparate Artist/Intellectuals, The Invertebrates Were Born Publicly Later That Year In A San Francisco Living Room. Since Then They've Lived In Basements, Garages, Warehouses, And Spare Rooms, And Played In Theaters, Performance Spaces, Nightclubs, Bars, Gymnasiums, Rent Parties, Street Fairs, Pagan Rituals, A Hotel Ballroom, And Even A College Cafeteria (And They Were Paid For It, No Less!). It's No Surprise That The Invertebrates Are Now Known As "One Of The Bay Area's Oldest Continuously Operating Unknown Bands". The Initial Shows Of Fall 1980 Depended On Numerous Film, Slide, And Overhead Projectors. Much Of The Music Was Improvised As Background To The Visuals, Though A Few Loose Songs Were Also A Part Of The Act. But Then The Songs Began To Tighten And Grow In Number. Pretty Soon The Musical Side Came To Dominate. An EP, "Eat 'Em While They're Young", Was Released In 1981, Followed In 1984 By An LP, "Let's Have Fun." - From The Band's Web Bio
