Service Details: Since the mid-80's, thee service for an excursion into the best European music ever produced. Razormaid! has featured the finest production in alternative, experimental, Euro-NRG and often features obscure (but tasty) artists. The packaging of their product was as interesting as the music they featured. Razormaid used colored swirled vinyl in their 12" pressings and colored resins in some of their CD's. The exterior packaging was graphically interesting as well.
