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.
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.
