History[]
Munster is a label out of Madrid that would often release records by American bands that wouldn't even come out in America (A Tribute To Music by The Young Fresh Fellows, for example). They've become a big re-issue house as well as a label putting out new music, often with a punk or garage sound. They will often re-issue forgotten classics by influential bands that didn't necessarily sell a whole lot the first time around. As such, Munster's actually got decent distribution in the US -- not great, but their records can be findable here.
