THE UNDEAD – Nine Toes Later (EP). Stiff Records (US) TEES 7-14. Issued in 1982. 4-track EP, plays at 45 rpm. TRACKS: A Life Of Our Own, My Kinda Town b/w When The Evening Comes, I Want You Dead. PICTURE SLEEVE: VG++, printed on glossy heavy paper weight stock. VINYL: VG++, play graded; small hole center, labels are white with black print. MEMBERS: Bobby Steele, Patrick Blanck, and Natz. Produced by Jimmi Quidd. DESCRIPTION: Debut EP of ex-Misfit Bobby Steeles new band. This sounds a lot like "Walk among us"-era Misfits, fast & noisy horror punk, catchy & original. A must for Misfits fans. It was first reissued in 1983 on Post Mortem Records, but this is the original slab. The story behind the EP’s title: September, 1981. A hospital in New York City. Bobby Steele - the Misfits' one-time guitar hero and token drugbag f*ck up (EVERY punk band NEEDED one of those, back then) and now leader of his own hotsh*t punk band, the Undead – is lying in a bed listening to doctors debate whether or they should amputate one of his toes. A sore had recently burst open on his left foot, after months of neglect. From the wound poured not only lots of blood, but the remaining bone structure of the toe. If the remaining flesh wasn't removed, he was risking the loss of the foot, possibly the leg. Steele looks up at the white men in their white coats and white hair, and fixes 'em with a measured, determined gaze. "Cut it off," he says, evenly. "Just cut it off." Steele later celebrated the moment by titling the Undead's debut EP Nine Toes Later.
NOTE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS, PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING:
For the most part these 7” singles and EPs come from my personal collection that, though played, has been well taken care of; they were purchased new. The most noticeable use on the sleeves will be near the open end from removal to play and then placing back in the sleeves. While going through my collection for listing I have removed the discs from the original sleeves and placed them in a plain white paper sleeve, placing the original sleeve and disc within an outer plastic sleeve. Even if the disc was originally purchased with a stock company sleeve or plain sleeve, I will include the original sleeve that came with my purchase along with the disc. As for the vinyl, keep in mind that these come from my personal collection and have been played (used but not abused), though I haven’t played most of them for nearly 20 years (or more). I have been playing both sides completely through for grading purposes on these listings and have noted obvious flaws, if any; if I’ve missed something my apologies in advance I am trying my best to properly grade items. The rating of EXCELLENT, VG++, VG+, VG, etc., represents the overall condition of the sleeve and disc. Additional comments after the overall grading are not necessarily all inclusive of blemmishes, but are the most obvious. Any skips, deep scratches, unplayability due to warpage, audible background noise that is continuous through the complete play, etc. will not be listed. Please e-mail me back with specific details if there is a problem I will gladly allow your return with full refund, minus your shipping cost back to me. Refunds will only be issued once I have received the item back. I worked in a record shop from 74-80 and then set up at record shows thereafter stocking many singles, so most of these items came from distributors or, later on, from dealers who also stocked new singles. By the mid-80s my interest in current singles of punk, garage, psych, and independently released music waned (as did the music itself). For the time being I am concentrating on listing releases from the years 1975 -1985, give or take a bit. I’ve got approximately 500+ singles left to sort through and will list them in small batches of 10-20 per listing on a first come first list basis. Those that don’t sell the first time around will be relisted as a group at a later date. If you have any questions about an item listed please e-mail me. At this time I really can’t answer what items I may have in the future to list as most of the singles are not in any order, due to several moves over the years; I’m taking it a crate at a time. As I am doing this as time permits, I have no idea how long this will take, so keep checking in. Thanks for looking.
PACKAGING:
I use a thick corrugated box that holds up to 10-12 x 7” records to assure safe damage free shipping around the world. Any space inside the box is filled with packing material (above and below the disc/s) to add protection and keep the item from moving around in shipment.
If you have any questions or if you have additional information, especially corrections, to the description, please e-mail me.

All packages are shipped via first class mail international (air); this is the least expensive method of shipping internationally, but does not necessarily meet all the conditions of Paypal’s buyer protection plan and does not include a tracking number. If security is a major concern than please request Registered Mail, available upon request and at your expense, this is the least expensive method of meeting the conditions of Paypal’s buyer protection plan; actual postal fee for registration is $11.50 in addition to the shipping total (required on all bids/purchases totaling $100 or more; this will be included with the invoiced shipping total). Priority Mail International and Express Mail International are available upon your request and at your expense. If you have any questions please e-mail me. Air Letter Post is now called First Class Mail International, but the method of shipping and delivery remains the same.
*ALL CUSTOMERS*
HANDLING TIME:
Packages are usually shipped in less than 72 hours. NOTE: This is not the same thing as delivery time, which begins once a package is turned over to the post office; averaging 3-7 business days for US delivery and 5 days to 3 weeks for international delivery (Italy seems to take even longer often times). International delivery is largely determined on how long it takes your local customs to process its mail. Due to my full time job and rotating days off, I ship two to three times per week as my schedule allows. Most packages are shipped within 48 hours of receiving a confirmed payment. I will confirm receipt of payment and shipping date via my personal e-mail, adjust your filters accordingly. If you do not hear from me within the first three days after your payment, most likely my attempts to e-mail you have failed. Please keep me posted on your payment plans or any special requirements/needs of your purchase.
RETURN POLICY:
Please e-mail me with specific details and I will get back to you with your options. I ask that if there is a problem with the item that you contact me as soon as possible after receiving it. Any item that must be returned is done so at the buyer’s expense. Any refund via $ (refunded to your Paypal account or via the same method as your payment), exchange, or substitution/credit will be at the buyers choice, but not made until the original item is received back by me; in the condition as stated in the item description.
NON-ARRIVAL OF PACKAGES:
US Customers: Please wait at least two weeks from my confirmed shipping date before contacting me about the non-arrival of your package. Packages are not shipped with confirmation; this service is optional and available upon request at your expense, e-mail me before making payment so I can invoice you accordingly. It has been several years since I’ve had a package not make its US destination, so risk is minimal.
INTERNATIONAL Customers: Please wait at least 3 weeks from my confirmed shipping date before contacting me about the non-arrival of your package. If security is your concern please have your package registered (see above for fee). I do my best to quickly post packages, but once the package is in the hands of the world’s postal systems it is beyond my control. With first class mail international my only option for investigating the loss of your package is to verify that it left this country to its destination country. Most all delayed/lost packages have disappeared/been delayed after they have reached their destination country. NOTE: International mail has been running slower than its stated delivery schedule, in some cases taking more than three weeks to reach its destination.
MULTI-ITEM PURCHASERS:
Multi-bid winners/purchasers: If you combine various formats such as LPs, 7" singles, and CDs, please wait for my eBay invoice for the shipping total before making payment. For example, US customers purchasing an LP with a 7” single and/or CD, as LPs ship via media mail, your package will ship as media mail. All international purchases are shipped via first class mail international so discounting will be determined by weight. Shipping discounts apply only to multi-item purchases that are paid for in one single payment and shipped in a single package.
