T.S.O.L. (EP)
''T.S.O.L.'' is the eponymously titled debut EP by the American hardcore punk band T.S.O.L. (True Sounds of Liberty), released in 1981 through Posh Boy Records. Its fast tempos and politically radical lyrics established the band as a major force in the southern California hardcore scene of the time. T.S.O.L. quickly moved away from leftist political subject matter, however, shifting in a gothic rock direction and changing labels to Frontier Records for their full-length album ''Dance with Me'' (1981). This led to a dispute with Posh Boy owner Robbie Fields, who claimed the band owed his label another EP. The two parties eventually reached a settlement in which Posh Boy gained the rights to T.S.O.L.'s 1982 EP ''Weathered Statues'', combining it with the debut EP in the 1987 compilation album ''Thoughts of Yesterday: 1981–1982''. Nitro Records purchased the master recordings from Posh Boy in 1997 and re-released the two EPs as the compilation ''T.S.O.L. / Weathered Statues.''
==Recording and release==
Having made a name for themselves with their live shows, T.S.O.L. received an offer from Posh Boy Records owner Robbie Fields to make a record. According to singer Jack Grisham, the arrangement was based mostly on a verbal agreement which the band expected Fields would exploit:
It was shit money and a shit deal, but what did we care? The initial contract got flushed down the toilet at Sammy Wong's hotel when we were playing a gig in San Francisco, and we didn't even bother to sign a new one. We made a verbal agreement with the Fagin of punk rock. Robbie, or the "Posh One", was an ex-Brit, a sometimes substitute teacher who minored in punk rock exploitation. He was the perfect host for our first disc. Robbie had his own record company, Posh Boy Records. Jesus, even the name sounded like a scam.〔
The band had already written most of the songs that would comprise their debut album, ''Dance with Me'' (1981), but were distrustful of Fields and chose to only give him a few tracks: "We knew Posh Boy was gonna burn us," said Grisham, "but we wanted to put out a record. So it was like 'Let's give him these (), and we'll save the good stuff for later. The EP was recorded in March 1981 at Brian Elliot Recording in North Hollywood, Los Angeles with Fields and recording engineer David Hines.〔 Hines mixed the tracks, and they were mastered by Stan Ross at Los Angeles' Gold Star Studios.〔 The cover artwork consists of a high-contrast solarised print of a live photograph of the band taken by Edward Colver.〔〔Blush, p. 91.〕 "The Posh One went way out of pocket on this one," said Grisham. "He spent five hundred dollars making that disc, and the quality showed. You can even hear the sound of an uninvited motorcycle going by on the highway during one of the songs. It didn't matter, though; it was the feeling in the music and the lyrics that counted."〔Grisham, p. 195.〕
''T.S.O.L.'' was released in 1981 through Posh Boy as catalog number PBS 1013.〔Blush, p. 326.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher = Posh Boy Records )〕 Grisham credited himself as Jack Greggors on the sleeve, beginning a tradition of using a different pseudonym on each release both to confuse audiences and to hide his true identity from the police.〔Grisham, p. 196.〕〔Blush, p. 94.〕 Drummer Todd Barnes credited himself as Francis Gerald Barnes.〔〔
