Axemen - Mourning of Youth b/w Hey Alice 7"

AXEMEN memorial 7" single for the late great Stevie McCabe, featuring Psych-Dirge MOURNING OF YOUTH, a coming of age tale penned by Stevie McCabe on his 21st birthday.

As seen in Kurt Cobain's Journals (pp. 229, 236)

1988 Flying Nun, from the Axemen album Derry Legend (FN120)

With an ultragloss spined picture sleeve featuring Axemen's day at the beach, and a photo insert with lyrics & details of their brush with Nirvana, this 7" is a very special release.

On the flip side it's Axemen's ode to the girl-next-door HEY ALICE! The medium of Children's Television surely peaked on TV3's YAHOO in 1993:

Release date: Stevie's Birthday, Saturday June 22nd. Records will be shipped early so that you can listen on the 22nd and toast Stevie with a glass of coffee wine!
