Well, some of it anyway, along with Greg Sage's solo stuff.

I used to see these guys in tiny clubs in 78/79 in Portland (OR), and
they always put on an awesome show. I've got their first single and first
album, which as far as I can tell have never been rereleased. I think I
saw one track from the first album on a compilation.

Any Wipers fans could probably bribe me for a copy.....   :)
