Description
Top condition and complete. A historic album in the censorship battle of the 80's with Tipper Gore and the PMRC. 1st pressing on Alternative Tentacles from 1985 : Vinyl: Near-Mint Cover: Near-Mint in shrinkwrap w/ HR Giger poster and custom inner lyric sleeve.
NOTES: It took a while, but in the Dead Kennedys, America finally produced a powerful, self-righteously moral band to match the fury (if not the solid musical appeal) of the Sex Pistols. Led by audacious and inimitable singer Jello Biafra (Eric Boucher; who once ran — and received a substantial number of votes — for mayor of San Francisco, the band's base), the DKs combined blunt and sardonic discussions of touchy issues with crushing, high-speed guitar and drums. Generally acknowledged as prime pioneers of American hardcore, the Kennedys were hugely influential, not only by setting a style, sensibility and commendable standards, but with their productive Alternative Tentacles label and active support for grassroots rock activity. Biafra's legal confrontation over the poster included in Frankenchrist effectively ended the band, but left a powerful anti-censorship legacy for others to uphold.
