THE CRUCIAL INFO:
People that know Sublime collecting know this shirt very well.
~
If you don't, in Sublime collecting circles this shirt is known as the "Drunken Clown" Tee Shirt.
~
Why it's so RARE is that when it came out, Sublime's "S/T" album was still going to be called "Killin' It" & the artwork that was going to be on the album was Opie Ortiz "Drunken Clown" artwork that you see here
(which eventually ended up on the inside of the album)
along with the "Killing' It" photo of Brad, Bud, & Eric.
As we all know, Bradley unfortunately died & all of the plans for the album were delayed & eventually changed.
~
Fortunately for us fans, Skunk Records sold these shirts prior to the album even being done & you could buy them via their catalog or by calling Skunk Records. Once Bradley passed, Skunk ceased selling things, but eventually, you could buy things via Martian Church, BUT these particular shirts (which came in the Blue that you see here & White) & most everything related to the "S/T" and previous Sublime merchandise disappeared & never returned for sale.
~
This shirt RIGHT HERE, the "Tabasco" Tee, and the "Bradley Tattoo" long sleeve Tee are the T-shirts are really the most RARE tees from that time period & the hardest to find.
This is an unbelievable find from a time gone by... Good Luck guys!
~
Bradley - Rest in Peace
