2020 Bandcamp release:
“Needles 3” is a long lost collection of stray songs from compilations and hard-to-find releases throughout the 90s.
It contains a number of pieces unavailable elsewhere, but has become a rarity in it’s own right since it’s initial launch in 2000.
Original “gimmix” covers were all handmade, resembling the image above, before a more generic edition on CDR was made available by Beta-Lactam Ring Records.
