Combat 84/The Last Resort - “Death Or Glory” RARE Punk Rock LP 1987 Pressing.


This record is a dual album of two influential and under appreciated figures that represent the second wave of punk, and more importantly, the first generation of the Oi! genre. Neither of these bands had a proper recording career or got the acknowledgment they deserved which can be attributed primarily to “backstabbing” in the popular music press and some unfortunate events that prevented achieving mainstream success. Regardless they still made some great punk rock and made it to the top of the London punk/Oi! scene in the mid 80s.


Side A contains the 10 song EP “Better to be dead then…” (two songs had never been released prior to this pressing)

Side B contains the 7 song EP “No Mess… No Fuss… Just Pure Impact!” by the band The Last Resort.


This record has been cleaned and stored in a high quality anti static inner sleeve as well as a poly outer sleeve. The cover is in VG+ condition and only shows minor signs of wear. No seam splits or structural damages, just some light edge wear. The vinyl is in excellent VG++ condition, and would be NM aside from some very minor hairlines on side A that do not effect play.


Sleeve Condition: VG+

Vinyl Condtion: VG++
