Yeah SST was a favorite of mine in the late 80s and early 90s. I still have a couple of their comps. The bands on that label are some of the most influential non-commercial radio bands to ever come out of America. It was run by Greg Ginn from Black Flag fame. Don't forget about Bad Brains, Sonic Youth, Soundgarden, The Descendents and the Screaming Trees. Massively influential label that had it's share of financial woes and lawsuits concerning masters and the ownership of album rights. SST's longtime sound engineer Spot is a bartender here in Austin, Texas and is a friendly guy who likes to talk about music. Since I'm a chef and bring him food, he gives me drinks and talks much shit about Ginn and all the money that he is still owed.
