The bleak, hard-driven third LP by the Wipers (originally released
in 1983) offers Greg Sage at his most chased and breathless, lashing
out with sharp staccato notes as if melody were his only defense. While
their debut LP provided the blueprint for grunge, and their second album
recast the band as one of America’s premier postpunk bands, it’s Over
The Edge that best exemplifies the Wipers’ sound. The jagged, effortless
guitar lines, the paranoid lyrics and raw-throated vocals and the taut,
unified rhythms that define their sound bleed together most clearly on
this LP, and it stands
as both the best entry point for new fans and the most prevalent favorite of diehards.
Since Jackpot Records began our Wipers vinyl reissues in 2006, we’ve been inundated with requests for a reissue of Over The Edge. After two years of labor, including an immaculate remaster from the original tapes by Greg Sage, we are proud to present Over the Edge, pressed on audiophile grade vinyl and packaged in a deluxe, tip-on sleeve.
