Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Nervous Breakdown shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Nervous Breakdown offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Nervous Breakdown at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Nervous Breakdown? Wrong! If the Nervous Breakdown is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Nervous Breakdown then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Nervous Breakdown? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Nervous Breakdown and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Nervous Breakdown wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Nervous Breakdown then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Nervous Breakdown site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Nervous Breakdown, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

Nervous Breakdown was the first
Black Flag (band) Extended play#The 7" EP in punk rock. It was released in 1978 and was the inaugural release on SST Records.
Recording history
The recording was financed by Greg Ginn with proceeds he had earned from his mail-order ham radio electronics business, SST ElectronicsMichael Azzerad,
Our Band Could Be Your Life, Little Brown, 2001. Through Spot (producer), then an apprentice engineer whom Ginn had already known from living in Hermosa Beach, California, the band found Media Art, a studio that had recently completed construction.Spot with Chuck Dukowski, Liner notes of
Everything Went Black, SST Records, 1983
The recording was originally supposed to come out on
Bomp! Records, but the band felt that the label was taking too long to put the record out. Eventually the band took the master rights back, and Ginn put some more earnings from his ham radio business, located a pressing plant in the phone book, and co-founded
SST Records with Black Flag bassist
Chuck Dukowski, borrowing the label's name for his new label.
It is commonly misconstrued that Spot was the producer and engineer of record for
Nervous Breakdown. In his sleeve notes for the 1982 outtakes anthology
Everything Went Black, Spot pointed out that as an apprentice engineer, his involvement in the sessions was limited to setting up microphones during the tracking sessions, and doing rough mixes for the band to hear.
The initial pressing of
Nervous Breakdown was 300 copies. Black Flag were able to use the record as "a badge of legitimacy" (according to Dukowski) to begin getting live gigs in the Los Angeles area.
Release History
The EP is still in print both in its original form (a 7" vinyl EP), as a 5" CD single, and as part of the anthology
The First Four Years. It was also available at times as a 3" CD single, a 10" colored vinyl EP, and as part of the various artists compilation of SST singles,
The 7 Inch Wonders Of The World.
