Durango ’87 captures a raw and candid moment in The Queers’ early history—a live radio broadcast from Boston’s WERS recorded in 1987 during the band’s formative Grow Up era. The session documents a short-lived lineup featuring Joe Queer on guitar and vocals, JJ Rassler on guitar, Hugh on drums and Evan Shore from Muck and the Mires on bass, rounding out the rhythm section. The record also includes remarkable bonus: a 7-inch EP of Grow Up-era recordings produced by the legendary Jimmy Miller—known for his work with The Rolling Stones and Motörhead. These tracks, long thought lost and never before released, reveal The Queers in the studio under the guidance of one of rock’s most storied producers, bridging raw punk energy with a classic rock sensibility. This performance on Durango ’87 finds The Queers tearing through early classics with the bratty humor and melodic punch that would later define them as one of pop punk’s most enduring names. The broadcast’s live, no-frills production captures the intensity of a band on the edge of breaking out. In addition to the radio session, the release includes a brief on-air interview with the band. The package is rounded out with new liner notes from Joe himself, reflecting on the lineup, the session, and the unpredictable early days of The Queers. Durango ’87 is a time capsule —an essential document of The Queers’ scrappy early years and a rare glimpse into a fleeting lineup that helped shape the band’s early sound.

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations

SHIPPING:

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.

RETURNS:

Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.

Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

CANCELLATIONS:

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.

Thank you for your understanding.
