The 3Ds - Hellzapoppin (2011 Reissue) (Vinyl)
We have been lucky enough to find a limited number of the 2011 pressing of The 3Ds' debut album Hellzapoppin in Roger Shepherd's storage.
Hellzapoppin is the first full-length album from The 3Ds. First released on CD in 1992, Hellzapoppin demonstrates the dichotomy of the band’s upbeat pop-rockers laden with backhanded lyrics; leaving the listener alone to battle with deceptively captivating songs about ludicrously dreadful things.
This is the first vinyl release of The 3Ds’ debut, and features the inherently skewed pop sounds of the 13 original tracks. Opening with the giddy crunch of ‘Outer Space’, with its flat-out fun melody, plenty of crazy guitar effects, it sets the tone for an album that is both thrashing and tuneful but never pointlessly macho. Instead, amongst the crash, bang and occasional hysterics, songs like ‘Ugly Day’ and ‘Swallow’ radiate a great, fun vibe.
Meanwhile, guest performer Alan Starrett adds a few extra instrumental touches during the course of the record, like viola and kalimba on the clattering ‘Teacher Is Dead’. Songs like ‘Leave the Dogs to Play’, with its hollow percussion, heavily treated guitars and vocals, show a band getting more comfortable with studio possibilities, while having a blast with them at the same time.
At the time of release, Spin Magazine picked Hellzapoppin as the "#1 album you didn't hear" — so here’s your chance to hear it again, in its finest physical form.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
