Grab Your Coat And Hat And Don't Forget Your Daddy's Gun

Another post from the record vault. This time I bring you The Beltones. Man, did I love this band. I was always so bummed I never got to see them live. I actually went to their show in Philly, they were playing with Slaughter and the Dogs. We had heard Slaughter was using all the local show opening band's instruments since they didn't bring their own from England. We also heard that Slaughter and the Dogs was trashing the band's gear when they were done. If the story is true, Bill and The Beltones took offense to this and dropped off the tour. Now whether or not that story is true, I don't know. But I do know that I ended up not seeing the Beltones play. But I digress... on to the records.

Lock And Load 7"

This is The Beltones first release, the Lock and Load 7" on Far Out Records. I'm not sure of the pressing numbers for this release. It was done on clear vinyl and black vinyl. I'm fairly certain the clear vinyl was limited to 100 copies.
