Numero

This is a breakout from the Numero <i>Savage Young Du</i> boxet. In August, 1980, Grant Hart, Bob Mould, and Greg Norton booked time at Minneapolis’ Blackberry Way Studio to record what became their debut 7". Their Twin/Tone deal, thought to be in the bag, was derailed by the signing of the Replacements—Hüsker Dü’s then-chief rival. Spurred on by Twin/Tone’s rejection, Hüsker thrashed out one scathing version of “Amusement” live at Duffy’s. Plans hatched for a four-song 10", with Blackberry Way cuts “Statues,” “Writer’s Cramp,” and “Let's Go Die” eyed. But enormous start-up costs forced a format change, and January 1981 saw Reflex Records #A, “Amusement” b/w “Statues,” hit the market. Pressed twice during the oncoming years, the single vanished as the band permutated from Metal Box-esque post-punk to Los Angeles-inspired hardcore.
