Mine just arrived from Juno as well. Shipping was pretty fast. I missed out on the RSD version so was happy to see you post about this a little while back. Thanks.

Malfunkshun is an American
punk/LOVE-rock/proto-grunge band formed in 1980 by brothers Andrew (aka
LANDREW) and Kevin Wood with drummer Regan Hagar. Combining glam
influences with distortion, they were one of the earliest grunge bands
from Seattle. Andrew would become the frontman for Mother Love Bone.

Regan Hagar are unleashing “Olympus Awaits” an essential compilation of

I luved Malfunkshun… their metallic punk-tinged T Rex swagger was sooo friggin’ raw ‘n grooovy. I remember a show of about 30 people at the Ditto (small box of a bar/club) - where Andy would point and sing to the imaginary folks in the balcony (which, of course there wasn’t one). Andy was an incredibly unique and talented, and sweet fellow. He’d swing buy Fallout on occasion just to shoot the fat and/or sometimes drop off solo cassettes he’d made. Some songs had Stoney playin’ him with as well.
I’ve held on to these puppies fer 40 years now… and every time I see em, I can’t help but smile.
