GBH "midnight madness and beyond"

This #gbh CD contains the "oh no, it's GBH again!" ep as bonus material. I originally bought the ep on cassette at the record store in the Eastern Hills Mall in 1988.  It was a covert operation because I was banned from that mall. As mohawked teens in suburbia in the late '80s we were an easy mark to spot so it was a pretty guerilla operation to infiltrate the mall.  It involved disguises and diversions.  The record store and video game arcade in the mall were worth the effort.  We would don hats to hide our 'dos and turn our various offensive t-shirts inside out, stash our skateboards in shrubs and split up and enter the mall in two different entrances.  It seemed to us that the security guards there loved to apprehend us, they would periodically comb the arcade and we would need a lookout to warn us to dance among the beeping circuited obelisks.  All this cloak and dagger stuff started because we were caught skateboarding through the mall and in our attempted escape one of us ran into (and demolished) one of those "tell your weight and fortune" machines.  It disintegrated like a probe Droid on hoth.  Later that year I got a job at the Friendly's restaurant in the mall and had to use their service entrance to circumvent my banning.
In any event this was a successful mission getting to the record store and I bought the ep.
After escaping the mall and collecting our skateboards for our parking lot rendezvous I was looking at the cover of the tape and not the pavement.  I caught a stone or something with a wheel and flew forward and road rashed my shoulder and side of my shorn head pretty good.  I sat up to assess the damage and realized I was at the feet of two cheerleader type girls with large '80s hair. They sneered at me in disgust as warm blood trickled into my ear. I frantically searched for the cassette, found it unharmed and hurriedly cavemaned back onto my board and skated away from those girls to catch up to my friends.  One of them yelled after me: "see you next fall!"
It's rather amazing to me how much my life could have been written into some sort of John Hughes movie. The song "malice in Wonderland"would have been a perfect score for this scene.
