The Grifters - Soda Pop 7"

"Soda Pop/She Blows Blasts of Static" 7" was the Grifters first release on Shangri-la Records as the Grifters. This record contains 2 explosive songs of guitar beauty not seen since the days of Marquee Moon.
The Grifters - "Corolla Hoist" 7" / "Thumbnail Sketch" 7"
$5
This 7" followed up "Soda Pop", showing the Grifters wasn't no fluke. The b-side features some of the most hauntingly fine vocals in the history of rock. Seriously. Buy it, rockers!
The Grifters - Bronze Cast 7"
$5
"Bronze Cast 7" With One Sock Missing, we learned that people need to know about a record before it comes out. So we warned people about the then imminent Crappin' You Negative record with this nifty little 7" with an obscure, almost beetlesque b-side called "Confidential." Once again, our friend Roy Berry (formerly a Simple One, now a Lucero) came up with the demented cover. January, 1994.

Strapping Fieldhands - "Ben Franklin Airbath"/ Simple Ones "Forget You"

The easy-on-the-ear pop hit "Ben Franklin Airbath" was commissioned by an overly enthusiastic Robert Pollard on his first visit to Philadelphia. Backed with a monster pop smash track by the Simple Ones, this is an essential Shangri-la Projects masterpiece.

"Rift City" is a guitar monster overload, full of hooks that kill from the Worth the Weight CD. Highly recommended by all in the Shangri-la Projects warehouse!

Doug Easley - "Love's Next Show" 7"
$5
An enigmatic masterpiece from the head honcho of Easley Recording, a now world-renowned sweat shop of recorded hits. This comes from the full-length opus that Mr. Easley will hopefully deliver one day. But, alack, as of now, this will have to suffice.
Will Roy Sanders & His Memphis Soul Blues Band - Live at Green's Lounge 7"
