BOOZE & GLORY / HARRINGTON SAINTS: Split 12"
VINYL FUNDRAISER FOR BRUCE ROEHRS MEMORIAL FUND




Bruce Roehrs passed away in his home on Saturday, March 13th, 2010. He was a genuine friend to many and always had your back and a kind word to boot. An ardent music fan as well as a long time column writer/contributor for Maximum Rocknroll, Bruce lived and breathed punk rock. Bruce will be sorely missed.

The Bruce Roehrs Memorial Fund
Bruce made San Francisco, CA his home the mid ’80s and over the years he took many of his friends, both locals and out-of-towners, to SF’s Columbarium. Built in 1898, this landmark contains the memorial sites of some of the city’s founding families as well as some of its more notorious occupants, such as Dirk Dirksen (the punk music promoter nicknamed the “Pope of Punk”). The Columbarium is a non-denominational memorial site that Bruce loved for its beauty, craftsmanship, and tranquility, and it was where his memorial service was held on Friday, April 9th, 2010. All money donated to the Bruce Roehrs Memorial Fund will be used to help pay for his permanent resting place in the Columbarium, a place that is truly worthy of his memory. We still need to raise a good deal of money for this, so please give if you can.

is the black one the test press?

XHonusWagnerX - 5-5-2011 at 08:34 AM

the black one is the test press (limited to 50) and it has some of his ashes mixed into the vinyl.

I think that they were $12 each or $40 for the 4 colors, but to get the black vinyl/test press it was a set of the 5 colors for $100.

panzerkreuzer - 5-5-2011 at 08:36 AM

yeah, i checked that. $100 were too much for me.

bruce was a solid, solid guy.
super good dude.
was always happy to see him when i got the chance to.
and he liked and wrote about many, many cool bands.
he once wrote a whole deal up on my band, in the same issue that someone wrote a shitty review in the back.
didnt matter to me since bruce liked it.
