It was released on Anapholes about 10 years ago. Not sure if it's still available but that cd version seemed to be about double the length with bonus material it also debunked the idea that tehre was no guitar on the session since it is there under a weird description.
Love finding those early 70s record collector in small town comes up with warped take on rock lps, these, Simply Saucer, the Cleveland Scene etc etc. I think of them as avant-garage though that is nicked from a specific part of the Cleveland scene. & would love to find more of them.

yeah for sure. Simply Saucer is great too. WFMU brought them to Brooklyn for a show a few years ago and they tore it up.
Debris is from what, Oklahoma City I think?

I was amazed that KK Barrett also played in The Screamers, I hadn't caught that connection until a couple of years ago.

TRICIA!
Trying to find an image of the printed rejection letter that comes with the Anopheles LP. Failing.
Did find this spoof MTV documentary though. Created by the gutarist. Has a cool video for Tricia tagged on at the end:

now see I knew KK Barrett was in the Screamers but didn't know he was associated with Debris at all. that's wild. (just googled it now and there seems to be some confusion over whether he was actually IN Debris but he was at least on the scene.)

Okay, I got my Debris' info screwed up.
Oliver Powers was the member of that band who found god. He died in 2001 of a brain hemmhorrage.
Debris were asked to play Max's Kansas City and CBGBs in New York. If they had been able to make it, their name would likely loom larger in the annals of punk history. One of the members was married and wouldn't travel and the band was on the brink of dissolving by that time anyway.
Chuck Ivey did move to LA and helped found Dangerhouse Records and played in a band called The Randoms, the first band to record on what most conceive as LA's first punk label.
The other Oklahoma music weirdo who headed west with Ivey was a guy named KK Barrett. He was not a member of Debris' but another local way out band called Mondo Combo. They never recorded but played a lot of local bills with Debris'.
KK Barrett and another man named Garrett started up Dangerhouse Records and Barrett organized the first concert to benefit the club the Masque. This was LAs first big punk concert and performers included X, The Germs, The Dils, Black Randy and the Metrosquad, The Dickies, The Zeros (first Latino punk band), The Weirdos, The Eyes and The Screamers. KK Barrett played drums for The Screamers.
Chuck Ivey auditioned to be in Wall of Voodoo but though Stan Ridgeway was a fan of Debris', he did not make the cut and ended up in another LA band called Interpol (no relation to the current NYC band of that name)-- Interpol had a single or two out that was played on LA radio by the famed Rodney Bingenheimer (Rodney on the Roq). This original band Interpol was nearly signed to Slash Records and slated to tour with X but it never materialized. For one thing, Slash wanted them to change the name Interpol because they thought it was too close to The Police, who were beginning to be well known about this time.
So, there you go. For anyone remotely interested.
