Headlines(?) were made recently when the office fixtures of Chicago dumbshit/repository Victory Records were auctioned off to the public, but what of the treasures left behind in the warehouses of San Francisco’s Grr-r label? Though the imprint only released one title, 1990’s seminal, ‘Sebastian Speaks – Your Watchdog On A Disc’, we can only speculate what sort of incredible artifacts were up for grabs when Grr-r decided to shut their doors. Or we can do a 2+ hour podcast about it.
(On the advice of their lawyers, no one involved with Grr-r was willing to speak on the record. So I’ve had to substitute musical selections instead. Hope that’s ok with everyone).
