Again, this is a fairly niche post, tailored more or less exclusively to Cop Shoot Cop fans, but for the past year, an adolescent superfan of Cop Shoot Cop – based in Finland, of all places – has been on a feverish frenzy to upload as much rare, out-of-print and/or otherwise unavailable sonic ephemera from the band as possible, and has done a pretty damn good job of it. I thought I’d take a moment to aggregate it all here for the purposes of convenience. Wasn’t that swell of me?

The image at the top, meanwhile, comes from Derek Hess’ Facebook page, it being a rough sketch that would later turn into his celebrated poster of Cop Shoot Cop, Soul Coughing and a band named Hucklebuck (whatever became of them?) at a storied Cleveland venue called the Euclid Tavern.

Here's Peeter’s haul. Please enjoy.

ADDENDUM 11/27/2023: While we feckless Yanks were gorging ourselves on poultry and potatoes, arguing about politics and alienating our loved ones around the Thanksgiving table, this past weekend, our Baltic buddy Peeter in Finland was busy continuing his tireless uploading. Check out the new titles he's put up ... IT'S LIKE CHRISTMAS COMES EARLY, GODDAMMIT!!!
