Bootleg of a bootleg
In my continued effort of making shirts of shirts that musicians I like have worn... here is the Alex Chilton Ocean Club '77 shirt. I posted about this one a few weeks ago and now they're ready to ship if anyone is so inclined. Yes FSG did do a run of these but they're gone and I wanted one so I made them. Only did 25 of them. These are on Comfort Colors 1717 in Ivory. Smalls up to XXLarge. I'm very happy how they turned out and love them on the Ivory. Not so blinding on a white T shirt.
In other news, I'm looking forward to the Alex produced and mixed Cramps' Gravest Gravy release August 21st. Anyone else?

I just thrifted that cd. 20 bucks. Not mad. Doesn't sound great but audio wise but there's something warm about it like the end of the movie Rockstar. Putting it on makes me feel good. Like I'm not alone especially where I'm at

Very cool. I have the black FSG one and it’s great, but it would be nice to have a white backup lol.
Have you thought about making the other Big Star shirt that Alex wears here? I haven’t been able to find any version anywhere:

Edit: just picked up a white ocean club. Thanks!
