Big Boys - Wreck Collection [2LP]

(Green/Yellow Vinyl, remastered, gatefold, hits and more)   

Gern Blandsten    GERN063    600064006316    LP    Punk, Hardcore   

REPRESSED ON GREEN/YELLOW COLORED VINYL. 

Comprehensive, remastered collection of 34 tracks including original demos, outtakes, and live tracks that span the band's entire career (1979-1984). The Big Boys were the Austin, Texas band that ran alongside such punk stalwarts as Bad Brains, MDC, The Dicks, and Dead Kennedys. The Big Boys were highly influential in their introduction of funk rhythms to hardcore punk, producing ''funkcore'' and are considered one of the main influences behind the Red Hot Chili Peppers (who were an early support slot band). The band also featured Tim Kerr on guitar (Poison 13). During their now legendary shows, singer Randy ''Biscuit'' Turner, was often seen wearing a tutu or dress and made a point of inviting the audience to come up on stage to join in singing. The Big Boys were also one of the first bands involved in the skatepunk scene, including having their very own skateboard, appearing in THRASHER skateboarding magazine and many THRASHER skate videos. Essential listening, highly influential. Finally re-issued here after 10 years for Black Friday, on colored vinyl with a gatefold sleeve.

Originally Released: 1989

Record Grading

Mint (M): New condition.

Near Mint (NM): Nearly perfect, a record with no obvious signs of wear, a perfect sleeve with no more than the most minor defects and signs of slight handling.

Very Good Plus (VG+): A very good plus record will show signs that it was played, but was taken good care of by the previous owner. Record surface may show slight signs of wear or minor scuffs that do not affect play. Picture sleeves may have slight wear, lightly turned up corners.

Very Good (VG): A very good record will show groove wear and may have a few vinyl imperfections which will affect the sound. Picture sleeves will show slightly more wear with perhaps a frayed top edge, ring wear or seam breakdown.

Good (G) / Good Plus (G+): A good record will show significant wear and /or scratches, but will play through without skipping. It will have considerable surface noise. Picture sleeves may have seam splits @ bottom & spines, tape, writing, ring wear, stickers and other defects that will start to overwhelm the item. A good or good plus item is usually acquired to fill a hole in a collection until a better copy comes along.
