This LP combines \u003cstrong\u003eCrumb\u003c\/strong\u003e’s first two self-released cassette EPs from 2017. For the longest, you could only get these at the band’s shows, with modest quantities occasionally appearing on their online store before disappearing and resurfacing on second hand sites at a ridiculous markup.
