1993 - 1994

It wasn't the commercial allure of the music industry that killed Job's DeSoto. It was the doing of a chain of convenience stores called "Square Deal." In late 1993, Square Deal raised the price of a 12-pack of Burgie beer from $3.69 to $4.19. As a result, the world witnessed the dissolution of one of it's most promising bands. Times were tough.

The band left only one recording after its short one-year career: a monumental opus titled "Going Places With Job's Desoto." The vinyl-only release sold nearly a score of copies worldwide, and its effects on modern music can still be felt today. In original songs like "I'm Taken Aback," "Termite Head," and the instrumental "That One in E," the foursome rewrote the future of rock history. Copies of the original LP release are highly valued by collectors and have been known to draw as much as $4 at trade shows.
