Agent Orange - Living in Darkness - Punk/Surf/Skate Classic Vinyl Record - New and Sealed!
Living in Darkness is the debut studio album by the band, released in 1981 on Posh Boy Records. The album showcased the band's innovative mixture of punk, surf rock and skate punk, and was also listed in the "10 Best Skate Punk Records of All Time".
The original album consisted of eight tracks. In 1992, it was expanded to include three unreleased tracks from the album sessions ("Pipeline", "Breakdown" and "Mr. Moto") as well as the 1979 recordings that won them their Posh Boy contract ("Bloodstains", "America", "Bored of You" and "El Dorado"). A 1981 interview and liner notes written by guitarist Mike Palm were also included in the reissue. In 1988, Agent Orange recorded an as-yet unreleased version of the album, titled Living in Total Darkness.
Three songs are covers of classic surf instrumentals: "Pipeline" by the Chantays, "Miserlou" by Dick Dale and "Mr. Moto" by the Bel-Airs. "Everything Turns Grey" was featured in the 2001 film Freddy Got Fingered, as well as the 2001 video game Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX. It was also covered by punk rock band Lagwagon for their fifth album Let's Talk About Feelings, and the song also appeared in the third episode of the season two of the TV show 13 Reasons Why. "Bored of You" was featured in the 2013 open world video game Grand Theft Auto V, on the Channel X punk rock radio station. "Bloodstains" was featured in the skateboarding games Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 and Skate 3.
This is an absolutely classic album, and a great opportunity to own a copy at a price that won't require taking out a second mortgage to buy. Highly recommended!
