I've been wanting a copy of this ever since it released. Admiral Analog's in Shepherdstown, WV helped make that happen yesterday. Beautiful repress on white/pink galaxy vinyl. One of the most important works released in the noise genre in the past many years. Fantastic, tortured, cynical, heart-grabbing music.
The Nerd is not just one of my favourite albums but reminds me of one of the best gigs I ever saw (or reviewed) - it was at the Hammersmith Apollo (I think) in 03 or 04 and they brought out Justin Timberlake to sing with them most of the night, as well as will.i.am, Dizzee Rascal and I believe even Naomi Campbell. It was some show! And a superior gospel soul/funk compilation to follow.
