I once ran in to Don Bolles (drummer of 45 Grave, the Germs, etc.) at Aron's Records when they were still on Melrose (1984?). He was browsing through the Einsturzende Neubauten vinyl. We started talking. I told him how I just saw EN at the Mojave Auszug with SRL and that I was disappointed with the EN gig. I was bashing them for being too predictable as in using a pre-used set list with no improvising. I mentioned to Don that I had a copy of the first EN album. He said it was very hard to find and that he was just looking for it. He offered to buy it from me. I said "No way!" He said he had to be at the Cathay de Grande and asked if I could give him a lift. I said "sure". While driving to the club he again asked me if I would sell him the EN album. I said "No, sorry." I ran in to him again six months later and he asked me again! I still said no. I felt a little sorry for him but I wasn't about to relinquish my copy. I hope he eventually tracked one down.
