Rusk was immediately interested in releasing the EP and contacted the band to express his admiration. At the time, Scratch Acid had already committed to working with Rabid Cat Records. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(153, 153, 153);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe group quickly developed a riveting performance aesthetic, and, as the debut S\/T EP made its way around the country via fanzines, college radio, and word-of-mouth, the band mounted short tours to the Midwest and the East Coast.  While he was not able to work with Scratch Acid directly through Touch and Go, Rusk had begun booking shows with Scratch Acid in Detroit, so he could see them live and meet them. A friendship formed, and Touch and Go Records would eventually release the band’s second EP, Berserker, in 1987. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBerserker (1987) \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMary Had A Little Drug Problem • \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor Crying Out Loud • \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMoron’s Moron • \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkin Drips • \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis Is Bliss • \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlying Houses\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eS\/T  (1984)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCannibal • \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGreatest Gift • \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMonsters • \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOwner’s Lament • \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShe Said • \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMess • \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eel Espectro • \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLay Screaming\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff9900;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0336\/8761\/files\/tg379-ScratchAcid-966x483b.jpg?v=1736471236\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff9900;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYour credit card will be charged when you place your order.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #d70000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you order a copy of this album together with any other item(s), none of your items will ship until all of the items in your order are available (ie: until the release date of the last-to-be-released pre-order item in your cart). \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #d70000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you want any of the items in your order to ship as soon as they are available, please place separate orders for each pre-order item. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #d70000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCurrently in-stock items (ordered together with no pre-order items in the cart) will usually ship within 1 to 3 business days. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Green Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52058547781935,"sku":"TG379LP","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0336\/8761\/files\/tg379lp_black_floor_302x143_f82f2cf5-167c-485e-b98a-3ad0c37361b9.jpg?v=1792535849","url":"https:\/\/touchandgorecords.com\/products\/scratch-acid-s-t-ep-berserker-lp","provider":"Touch And Go Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
