I mean, Don "Bassholes" Howland, Jim "V3" Shepard, Mike Rep, Ron "TJSA" House and Mike Taylor??!?!? Should be awesome, right?

But for some reason, i never picked it up. Is it still sorta available? Worth getting? How come I never hear folks talking about this LP?

It's up there amongst the best things any of these guys did. Really fucking great. It's a bit tough to find but Ian at Mental Telemetry might still have copies.
TOTALLY recommended...
No-one talks about this record coz no-one seems to talk about these people anymore...

It's pretty awesome...I havent put it on in ages...but if your into V-3/TJSA...Ohio Rock...it's worth seeking out.

wow, got this from Yod yesterday, and, as a big fan of all involved, I can't believe I've gone without it for so long. It was one of those records I thought I could always get, and always passed up. Man, I'm pretty biased because I'm a collector of what you call "Ohio Rock" - but this is better than anything I've heard this year. "We Got It All" is definitely top ten Shepard material. Why should I listen to anything else??!?!? (the only thing that might distract me for a bit is the new Mclusky, but i ain't downloaded that yet)

Surefire Distribution might have copies of Ego Summit still. It is a fantastic record.

"how can one beat the combined force of mike rep, ron house and jim shepard?"

To say nothing of Don Howland! That one he sings (written by House) that kicks off side 2 - dag!

three years pass...

"The Grim-O Comix" sequence just saw release on Columbus Discount records. Recorded by Mike Rep & Tommy Jay the summer after they graduated high school (1974?!) this is an unrelentingly bleak listening experience. It's really, really good.. but it kind of makes me want to cry, too.
