Spermanys Most Wanted (surely there should be an apostrophe on Spermany's?) is the first 7" EP / demo from now-legendary groovy grindcore band GUT. Technically, Drowing In Female Excrements came first as a hand-made cassette released by the band, but this 1992 EP was the first from the band on a label. GUT are credited with inventing the pornogrind sound, which is in its most primitive and infantile form here.
Due to the production on this thing, it almost sounds like a black metal record. If not for, of course, the trademark GUT gurgles and the sampling work holding it firmly in the dodgy world of grindcore. A few of the songs here would eventually go on to appear on the band's debut album Odour Of Torture, including a GUT favourite of mine, "Consequence".
Once upon a time I had this gem on vinyl, but alas I sold it (along with almost everything else) to live a less materialistic lifestyle. If I recall, the GUT EPs I had were some of the first things to be snapped up by collectors.
