Seller bleedingpowers brings us one of the oldest Mental shirts around…
Pretty sure this was the second or third design they did. It was also made with a reverse color scheme of blue on white, and later on the design was used on the “Mental Crew/Get Down” and “Mental/Lockin Out” longsleeves (quotes denote what the sleeve prints say). Pretty sure Greg’s ex did the design; she also did the And You Know This 7 inch cover.

That’s the first mental shirt I bought! I copped that and the demo at a show at “the hideaway” in boston?just outside of Boston? I forget. AN and suicide file also played i think. I remember it being super super hot inside.
I think that was my first time seeing mental as well an I was stoked on them so I copped the demo and the shirt.

I bet that was the Bridge 9 Records Fest at the Hideaway. July 21, 2002. Great gig. Long one, stupid hot. Lots of shenanigans in the parking lot. Most of them were Stanley’s doings.
ps 2nd tee.
gig had the first appearance of the Mental banner.
