about

O misguided youth...

Talking Machine Plate was recorded after the demise of Rocshire Records, but before the final demise of the band. It was released independently in a very small quantity on vinyl only, without knowledge or consent of the band, several years after Din had ceased to be.

This digital version was remastered from existing vinyl; recording was already horribly compressed and is even more so now. Sold as is - just like life - no returns, no exchanges :)

about

Din

Din is a Los Angeles-based post-punk rock band first formed in the 1980's. They released two albums for the scandal-plagued MCA affiliate label, Rocshire Records, and toured the Western U.S. playing with the likes of New Order, Public Image, and the Minutemen, before disbanding after 5 arduous years.

They're back now, in 2014, with their first album in over fifteen years - Authenticity. ... more
