tracks scratch it out / bikini twilight
notes july issue of a monthly series. both songs are on side a.
"kurdt only played on 'bikini twilight', the line-up was: calvin, guitar - kurdt, guitar - tobi, drums.
we recorded four songs, including a cover of the Stooges song "Loose". we made about 700 copies of that single. there is a frequently asked questions page that has a lot of info about the history of K and olympia music:
here. on the fanzine, 'sand', which I wrote in 1988, there's a review of nirvana's first 45, which as far as I know is the first ever review of a nirvana record, and maybe the first article about the band in general. love, calvin"

"Originally we wanted all the singles to be one-sided with the blank side to have no label, just a silkscreened image. the pressing plant said they would not press them without a label, so we asked if they would use a blank black label instead. they usually used a blank black label, but often they just used whatever blank labels they had around; so some of the Go Team records have black, green, white or red labels on the b side. also, by the time the summer singles came out, we were pretty burned out on the silk screening, so a lot of them didn't get screened, probably it's more common that they didn't get screened for aug and sept than that they did for july. calvin"
