The Bad Seed Collection Lives! A new t-shirt range inspired by this blog

This blog has inspired the creation of yet another t-shirt series.

A few years back Japanese label Peel + Lift used one of my posts as the launchpad for a contemporary design.

And now US t-shirt company Rock Roll Repeat has produced a new range inspired by my 2011 piece on rockin’ Miriam Linna’s legendary JD-zine Bad Seed.

My copy of Issue 1 of Bad Seed, published by Linna in 1984.

After reading the post last year, Rock Roll Repeat’s Joshua Shame contacted Linna and their discussions resulted in the new collection of five fine shirts each showing a Bad Seed cover.

In white on black and black or crimson on stone, the shirts are packaged with a history of Bad Seed and its links to Linna’s other activities on her own and with her husband, the late and very much lamented Billy Miller.

Rock Roll Repeat has done a bang up job with the tees; check out The Bad Seed Collection at the label’s online shop here.

Linna and Miller’s label Norton Records, the world’s wildest record company, continues to thrive. Visit the Norton website here.

I’ll finish as I did with the original Bad Seed post eight – eek! – years ago, with a blast of Chico’s Girl, as recommended by Bad Seed 2:
