About the Release
This is Channel 3’s self-titled debut EP, one of the earliest documents of the band’s raw suburban California punk sound.
It captures the band at their most urgent and stripped-down, before the later shift toward more melodic full-length LPs.
Key tracks include:
-
“Manzanar”
-
“Mannequin”
-
“I’ve Got a Gun”
-
“Waiting in the Wings”
-
“Wet Spots”
A foundational piece of early 80s West Coast punk history.
This is a true first-wave SoCal punk artifact and a strong addition to any serious vinyl collection.
Please review all photos carefully and feel free to ask questions prior to bidding. Many more Punk albums to come!
