In January of 1997, the ESTRUS Records warehouse burned to the ground. A decade's worth of masters, equipment and art gone in a second, as well as the entire mailorder stock. A disaster of major proportions. MAN'S RUIN, Mike LaVella of GEARHEAD and Brian of MAN OR ASTROMAN? immediately set about putting together this compilation. It features 29 tracks by the world's best "garage rock" acts (many of which first appeared on ESTRUS RECORDS). In addition to the acts, many of the "best and brightest" donated time and effort to this cause...getting ESTRUS back on its feet. 100% OF ALL PROFITS FROM SALES OF THIS RECORD WILL GO DIRECTLY TO ESTRUS FOR REBUILDING. Cover by Jamie Hernandez of Love and Rockets fame.
The story behind Flaming Burnout is that it's a benefit for the Estrus Records warehouse, which burnt down in January 1997. As for the bands, over 30 from around the globe got together and donated a song to help out for the cause. Everything from surf (Satan's Pilgrims, Man or Astro Man?), to punk (the Criminals, Mono Men, the Makers), to bands with a style all their own (Serverton, Madame X, Southern Culture on the Skids).
