Notes

Neuroosi (or some copies as Dolorex) 7″ was said to be rarest Finnish punk record there is. It isn´t usually found in record catalogues, because it is claimed not “officially” released at all. Only A -side of the single is their own composition, b -side is a traditional Finnish song. The band was from Suomussalmi and as usually - this is their only release.

New information from 2019: (Reissued on Various - Punk Elää Vol. 1 - Onko Suomi Vapaa Maa? (Finnish Private Press Punk 1979-1980) by Svart)

"There have been rumours that Neuroosi‘s (or Dolorex's) Rock Against Seija Isonsaari 7″ was never even released apart from a set of test pressings, but these rumours have been proven false, as there were 200 copies actually released and circulated to friends and punk aficionados in Suomussalmi, Finland". (Info from Svart web)

Neuroosi changed their name to Dolorex, before splitting up.

Artists on this record:

I changed some e-mails with the vocalist of this band 8 years ago and asked about the pressing, cover etc. His version was this:
200 copies were pressed, which was the smallest amount possible at that time. I can´t understand someone telling only 10 test copies were made. Maybe someone´s trying to elevate the price up as high as possible.
We got the records with white paper labels, white paper sleeves, and plastic covers. Back sleeve covered only half of the record.
We drew and wrote all the labels by hand so that was real DIY punk style. Part of the sleeves were xerocopied but as this was quite expensive at that time so we mostly drew sleeves by free hand too. I can only say that every single item of this record is unique.

Actually the reason is not unknown. At that time very many bands had their names titled as ailments. "Neuroosi" being in English as neurosis. So the band decided that they would be the cure to all ailments. Hence the name Dolorex. Which was actually a medicine for dying cancer patients (to relieve the pain) at that time, manufactured by a german company Bayer. The pills had a high concentration of methadone and they were misused by drug addicts. About the pressing of the record: 200 copies were made. Albeit the band ordered only 20 to be manufactured - 200 came from the pressing plant. So the knowledge of only 10 copies being made of this 45 is utterly wrong. Can not wait for the Svart triple small wonder boxed sed...!
