Richie Stotts – Richie Stotts limited edition 100 copies LP – Hand signed – Spattered paint cover
Now we’re talkin’ some really cool awesome obscure shit! This is limited to 100 copies, all individually hand signed and hand splattered painted covers. This is probably the only one of a kind record I own. Truly only one copy like this one. After signing each cover, slapping a back sticker on the back of the cover, Richie went to the roof of his apartment and spattered each cover with red paint. 100 copies of this lp exist and each one is unique and different. I bought this directly from Richie in 2002 via his website. It contains songs Richie had on cassettes he had recorded but never released that had been in a box in his apartment. The rest of the songs are from his band King Flux, the group he formed right after the Plasmatics. Richie is an amazing guitar player and his 6’7″ frame with his Mohawk proved to be a crowd pleaser in live shows. He is known for his Flying V guitar, blue Mohawk, nurses uniform and wild style of guitar. King Flux has two of Tommy Hilfiger’s brothers and Marky Ramone on drums.
In that box of tapes also laid the song “Rock and Roll is the answer”, written by Richie and Joey Ramone! He later re-recorded the song with Joeys brother basically creating a new song around Joeys vocals.
I love this record because it is very special. Very personal and something you won’t find in any record bin at even the best rare record stores or even online. Cool cover of “C’mon Everybody” by Eddie Cochran.
