Zipper – Zipper (1975) | Proto-Punk Private Press from Portland | Full Vinyl Rip

This is Zipper – Self-Titled, the 1975 private press LP out of Portland, Oregon, and one of the rawest records Fred Cole ever made. Released on his own Whizeagle Records (W-0001), this is proto-punk hard rock with fuzzed-out guitar, snarling vocals, and basement-level attitude. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn 🎧 This vinyl rip comes from my personal collection — this is the original U.S. pressing on Whizeagle. It’s a recent addition to my Northwest rock/psych/garage LP collection. I collect everything Fred Cole ever did: The Weeds, The Lollipop Shoppe, Zipper, The Rats, Dead Moon. Still hunting the first Rats LP… 📷 Follow me on Instagram for more rare vinyl and psych finds: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ Musically, it sits somewhere between Blue Cheer, early Alice Cooper, and the stripped-down intensity of what would become Dead Moon. It’s heavy, raw, and sounds like it was recorded with the amps turned all the way up and no second takes. Standout track: “Face of Stone” — a slow-burn crusher that builds to a ripping, fuzz-drenched payoff. Classic Fred. 💿 Tracklist: 00:00 Bullets 03:20 Born Yesterday 07:21 The Same Old Song 10:37 Face Of Stone 15:41 Scars 18:59 Rollin' And Tumblin' 21:42 Worry Kills A Woman 25:22 Let It Freeze 28:57 Behind The Door #Zipper #FredCole #PortlandRock #PrivatePress #TheWeeds #LollipopShoppe #TheRats #DeadMoon #RareVinyl #VinylRip #ProtoPunk #GarageRock #WhizeagleRecords #VinylCommunity
