"Back in 1980, H&amp;#xFC;sker D&amp;#xFC; booked time at Minneapolis&amp;apos; Blackberry Way Studio, laying down tracks while eyeing a deal with Twin/Tone. However, the label signed the Replacements instead, and H&amp;#xFC;sker D&amp;#xFC; turned their attention to a self-released, four-song 10-inch. High costs forced the band to change formats, and they ultimately released &amp;quot;Amusement&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Statues&amp;quot; with Reflex Records as their first seven-inch. The single was pressed twice but lost steam as H&amp;#xFC;sker D&amp;#xFC; shifted their musical style toward the hardcore sound that made them famous.\r\nH&amp;#xFC;sker D&amp;#xFC; Photos\r\nTo celebrate Record Store Day 2013, H&amp;#xFC;sker D&amp;#xFC; are reissuing &amp;quot;Amusement&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Statues&amp;quot; along with &amp;quot;Writer&amp;apos;s Cramp&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Let&amp;apos;s Go Die,&amp;quot; the two other Blackberry Way tracks intended for the 10-inch. It&amp;apos;s a revealing look at H&amp;#xFC;sker D&amp;#xFC; that connects the dots from their obscure early years to their later greatness. The double seven-inch will be limited to 4,000 pressings and is available on April 20th.\r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
