Mighty Sphincter was formed in 1981 by Greg Hynes and Doug Clark in Phoenix, Arizona, near where I grew up. The band would release a handful of records, none of which would sound like the one that came before it, but all of which were quite good. The band’s releases all have the distinction of practically having no two singers the same! Their first singer was a man named Ron Reckless who dressed up like Satan in drag. He had a penchant for consuming large quantities of narcotics and that would be his undoing. This fellow was the singer on their first single, Heathouse. They eventually kicked him out, then told stories about how he died. These stories were told in the advertisements for their records. Before ousting him, they recorded half this EP with him. Guitarist/songwriter Doug Clark (or Dominic Royale as he sometimes referred to himself as) would take over the vocal duties for the second side of the Ghost Walking Double EP. (It was billed as a double EP because the plan was to actually have released those as their own records.) When I lived in Arizona I saw them perform live several times at a local punk club, Madison Square Garden, an old wrestling ring. I bought this record after I had moved away to Cleveland. The sound is definately death metal, and out there. The record and its sleeve are both in Very Good Plus condition, and it comes with the original insert. From my personal collection.
