I know the title of this trio of shirts from sounditoutrecordstc isn’t exactly accurate but it’s sounds better and will look cool when it pops up in your RSS reader.
First the rip off. I remember something about this shirt being limited or desirable. Personally I don’t get it. Ho hum to me. Whose got The info on this? Guav I’m looking at you
Next up is the heat transfer. It’s not an actual mall kiosk heat transfer but it sure looks like one. Guav I believe was kind enough to explain that it was the first 4 color process screens they printed so props to them on that! If this is the tour that I’m thinking of then I saw it at the tune inn stop of the tour and the gig itself was a rager! The height of big pants and beaded neck laces. They always put on a great show during this time
And finally is the dick print. Or maybe it’s like a gall bladder print. It’s hard to tell In the pics. I’ve never seen this shirt in person. Actually I don’t recall ever seeing it at all. If that dick print was a pocket print I would bidding all over this because this shirt is kind of amazing. That back graphic is perfect to me. Just a great shirt all around.
Ps. Destroy the Machines is still a pretty solid record! I fully back that lp and everything before it
Pretty sure the Wolverine shirt was sold on a european tour – I think it was ’97 but might be later….
Wolverine shirt, I think, was sold at the Gomorrah’s Season Ends record release show.
1995 tour shirt was, like you said, the first full-color prints Cabal did. Like wearing fucking Kevlar on your back.
The “dick print” shirt is the best ExC shirt made. In 1993, I loved the gall bladder print, but the 2011 version of me agrees that a pocket print would make this shirt 100% perfect. I’d even wear the SxE sleeve print shamelessly. Perhaps I can put the bug in their ear for a modern reprint of this design.
Wolverine shirt would be 1995 or 1996 at the very latest.
The black longsleeve is the second (and last) design I printed before they signed to Victory and Brummel began pumping out oddly-colored shirts that’s I’d never want to wear. It’s my favorite ExC shirt.
It’s also by far the rarest ExC shirt, I believe I only printed two dozen of them and brought them down to a Middlesex show where they were all sold. I don’t even have one.
The first thing I said was “did the guy raid my closet?”. Then I saw the longsleeve…1 of 2 designs I don’t have (the other being the Firestorm record release show design). I wait patiently…
Also, the Wolverine design is a reprint. The original has the Cabal logo on the back along with “Gomorrah’s Season Ends 1996” above it. Like Buske said, pretty sure it was sold at the record release show as was the tan Wolverine shirt. The design was reprinted for the following tour if memory serves. Here’s the back of the original print:

and then the reprint.

Finally (because you asked…okay you didn’t), there is also a black and white print of this same design which is limited to 12 from what I understand. The back print is the same as reprint. You can see that one below as well:

Another reason why we love our readers. thanks Chip!
No problem Brian. Also, when I said reprint I meant that its still legit, just not the same one as the one sold at the record release show.
The Wolverine shirt was sold at european shows. It was during the Gommorrah tour. There was indeed a backprint. I’ll have to ask a friend for it. He owns the t-shirt or sweater. I can’t remember it al that well.
