Labels: This Starcraft, Not On Label

Recorded Live @ Interset Studios, LA by Philip Haut

Produced by This Starcraft, 1987 copyright

self-released debut LP from the SF band Sixteens, one of the last remaining bands from the early-2000s SF darkwave scene (Vanishing, Spector Protector, Crack: WAR, etc etc). This one was self-pressed and self-released, with two homemade cover/lyric sheets and was released in a plain die-cut sleeve. The music is dark, synth-heavy, noisy, and quite experimental.

During Sixteen's 2008 European tour the band's last copies of this release were being sold. Stocks then included two versions of the sleeve:

1. black card with screen print in white.
2. white card with screen print in black.

The actual year of release is 1998. Year on sleeve was added as a joke. Lyric sheet also includes lyrics to "Mine Detector" which is not present on the LP. The title of this song has more underlining dashes that extend to the edge of the screen printed portion.
