SEPTEMBER - ERASMIA PULCHELLA 10" (TREE RECORDS [TREE 05], SIMBA RECORDINGS [SIMBA 05], 1995) [USA]

September - Erasmia Pulchella 10"
(Tree Records [Tree 05], Simba Recordings [Simba 05], 1995) [USA]





The only release by San Jose, California emo group,
September, other than a track that appeared on a compilation CD. This 10" appeared as a split label release by Tree Records and Simba Recordings. Discogs names this release "Erasmia Pulchella", but I don't see that anywhere on the release itself. The compilation song is titled Erasmia Pulchella... odd.

The Hepburns - Goalmouth Incident 12"
(Cherry Red [12 CHERRY 98], 1987) [WALES]





An awesome 12" single from Welsh indie pop group
The Hepburns. Their first release. I'm always ignorant and assume a band from the UK is probably English -- always pleasantly surprised and happy to find a Welsh group or Scottish group.
