The Exodus crew had a small number of these t-shirts printed and gave them to select members of their posse. This badboy was given to Ben Ferguson and it has always been the most closely guarded t-shirt he owns. It’s in ridiculously rough shape. You can’t tell from the photograph, but it’s riddled with hundreds of holes, many seams have separated and every hem is hacked. I have never seen a shirt in such rough shape. Nevertheless, it’s the only one in existence and it holds the honor of being Toronto’s first in a series of many rave t-shirts: Chemistry, Pleasure Force, Sykosis, and Nitrous.
X-Static was busy reproducing many popular spoofs that originated in the UK.

Nice. Makes me lament the loss of a Pleasure Force t-shirt from X-Static I had. White one with a circle of dancing characters, Pleasure Force logo in the middle. *sigh*

I feel your pain – I had that one too – it had a big hypnotic circle on the front, and I think it said 100% genuine raving? Old rave shirts are hard to find because they were worn to death and then purged from wardrobes shortly after.

tshirt shown looks as if it were worn to a few parties already. I especially like the yellow stains under the arms – nice touch. That was the purchasing clincher.
