What We Do Is Secret - The Germs (Full EP)

Digitized from the 2018 re-release of the 1981 EP “What We Do Is Secret” for entertainment purposes. I do not own these songs.

Darby is a shamefully underappreciated genius. He could have been a generation's poet. And a dangerous leader.

Thank you

[@timhurley329]

These songs recorded before 81! 78

[@goonashwah6568]

Makes sense because Darby was dead in 1980

[@JupiterSKin]

Because it was posthumously released, dopes.

[@robo-dale3746]

RIP DARBY AND LORNA

[@derekturner3278]

Bought this album 40 years ago and still like it, sounds better on vinyl though.

All rock music sounds better on Waxx!

Love these guys! Ever since I heard Lexicon Devil in GTA I've been obsessed. There's not a whole lot of content out from their music, so I love stumbling across gems like this.

[@86eastbay]

The guitarist and old best friends of Darby Crash was in Nirvana. Up the punx!

[@Crash.7434]

He has a lot of songs it’s just a quarter of them never got studio recording like suicide machine, street dreams, get a grip, victim. He had great songs and everyone knows Pat smear was in nirvana

[@0mega.mechan1c.]

This is the Chris D/Flesheaters mix! Thank you for the upload; I had both my copies stolen. Rock & rule!🌀

[@eaglebauersrecordcollection]

Happy to be of service but man…that sucks. Thieves should have to spend eternity listening to music they hate!

[@dreamsister6339]

The laughs at the beginning lol

[@Giuseppe-t3h]

Great

[@AlexZawodniak]

I believe the first posthumous Germs release.

[@JoshucaVA]

Okay this is where it clicked for me, may have to go back to the album lol

[@michaelgoldstein5506]

Greatest EP Ever. Except for Sick of You which is also the Greatest EP Ever

Germs . 💫

[@gilramirez1373]

Got this original....sound amazing still.....

[@rogra2087]

☆Mikey from No/Fx had some og Venice dudes on his podcast...they claimed Mike Muir was the responsible party from "Huntington Beach." That he did get punched back and theres a newspaper clipping out there taken from that gig. Muir has a bloody nose in the pic...true or not? Still a interesting piece of urbane legend... Thanx for the post! My tunnel is the jam, and the ending is hauntingly beautiful.☆

[@AndrewBarrett-x8r]

The Melvins do a mean cover of "Lexicon Devil".

[@eaglebauersrecordcollection]

@@AndrewBarrett-x8r wasn’t aware of that…I like the Melvins. I’ll have to check it out, thanks ✌🏻

Love Darby since 9 YO...and all other Germs, lol! Chubby Wave chic was first crush! I'd make 9 kinds of Circles in the Sand, Chica, lol!

[@baggybrge1031]

isn't the lexicon devil rougher on the actual album?

[@spinningindaffodils]

Faster

[@JMarinelli]

The version of "Lexicon Devil" is from an EP from 1978.

[@arthurrr1483]

this version is in gta v i think

[@vladimirploppers5789]

Gta v used the version from the ep

[@roelv9772]

The GI album version yes, recorded by slash records.

[@mikemike8142]

Was the original EP rare Classic

[@eaglebauersrecordcollection]

Hey Mike. The original ‘81 release of this EP is uncommon, I wouldn’t say super rare. You can find really good copies of it for 80-100 bucks…the original ‘78 Lexicon Devil single is far more rare and a holy grail item. If you’ve got one of the original copies of this EP I’d say hang onto it though! It’s not something you’ll find every day and probably won’t see in a record store.

[@mikemike8142]

@@eaglebauersrecordcollection I have the original Slash "What we do is secret" 80 - 81 ish. I bought it second hand mid 80s but never saw it anywhere. This is a punk rock gem 💎
