The Doom Patrol- I Was A Teenage Monster 7".  Even the most die-hard Electric Frankenstein fanatics aren’t aware that Electric Frankenstein co-founder Sal Canzonieri’s musical career began nearly 15 years prior to the release of first Electric Frankenstein 7" when he helped form this band, The Doom Patrol, with his brother Joe in 1980. And the reason this band has eluded the public for so long is because only one lone Doom Patrol master existed, which was in Sal’s possession in the early 80's before he lost track of it over the years.  Than, decades later, he was going through some old boxes at his parents house when he re-discovered these incredibly rare, long-lost recordings and knew they had to be released.  As history would have it: Sal formed The Doom Patrol in early 1980 after being inspired by seeing bands like The Misfits, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Fear and the Circle Jerks, just as the first wave of Punk was winding down and Hardcore was about to take over the underground.  Using a bulletproof combination of loud, fast, raw and heavy, The Doom Patrol made one sole 6 song recording in 1980, 4 of which appear on this archival  7".  Although somewhat stylistically similar to those influential  bands he was seeing at the time, The Doom Patrol lean a bit closer to  the HC bands on the horizon like Deep Wound, Negative Approach, the Necros, Cro-Mags, the FU’s and  Adrenalin O.D. ; although these recordings actually predate all of those bands debut releases.  A nice slice of New Jersey Punk Rock history circa 1980 including a detailed insert with liner notes by Sal documenting this unique first chapter in his storied musical career.  THIS INSTANTLY COLLECTIBLE LATHE CUT 7" COMES HOUSED IN A SLICK LOOKING FULL COLOR 7" JACKET AND IS STRICTLY LIMITED TO ONLY 69 HAND NUMBERED COPIES ALL ON GLEAMING CRYSTAL CLEAR WAX!
