    From an email interview Mark Prindle did with AmRep label head Tom Hazelmeyer in Sept. 2005:

    MP: If a person had never heard an AmRep release in their life and could only afford to buy five of them, which five do you think are the top of the top? On a related note, which five sold the best?

    TH: I think for the best insight to the AmRep credo:
    Cows - Cunning Stunts
    Dope, Guns & Fucking in The Streets comps
    Boss Hog - Drinkin’, Letchin’ & Lyin’
    Unsane - Scattered, Smothered & Covered
    Hammerhead - Into The Vortex

    Best sellers, not really sure exactly. Helmet, Melvins, Cows, Boss Hog, Unsane most likely up there. Melvins should make the above list, but by the time we started working together they had firmly created their own independent identity.”

        Be sure to buy anything under the $5 Cheapy CD's line, I haven't been steered wrong yet.
