Here it is, ‘The Record’ you have been looking for, the highly prized first LP by one of the most influential US punk bands of all time (you know who they are, there is no need to explain). A legendary punk classic from the West Coast.....and you are bidding on the original first pressing without a barcode on the back sleeve and with original pink lettering on silver labels. Released on cult label ‘Slash’ records in 1982 (catalogue number SR-111). It’s the same label where the GERMS kicked out their ‘Lexicon Devil’ 45. Here is the description of the great FLEX book (US Hardcore/Punk discography):

 

  • Fear were a real punk band, mean, aggressive and provocative - check out their unforgettable performance in ’Decline of Western Civilization’… Their first LP already has several hardcore tracks which is a pity since they have their best moments when they play rough, dirty but melodic punk rock like on Livin in the City. Their faster tracks are simpler and tougher and remind me of early Nihilistics. All in all this is a classic, but I just wish they had recorded more punk songs. [8]
  • Fear waren eine echte ’Punk’-Band: böse, fies und unverschämt (unvergeßlich ihr Auftritt in ’Decline of Western Civilization’…). Einige Trax auf der LP sind schon recht hardcorig, was ich etwas schade finde; am besten bringen sie immer noch die dreckigen Punk-Rock-Nummern wie ’Livin in the City’ (DIE Großstadt-Hymne schlechthin). Andere Songs erinnern mich an die Nihilistics… Insgesamt sehr hörenswert.

 

This cracker features punk anthems like ‘I Don’t Care About You’ / ‘Gimme Some Action’ / ‘I Love Livin In The City’ / ‘We Destroy The Family’ / ‘No More Nothing’ / ‘Let’s Have A War’ and so on. The whole LP will knock your head off. All tracks are really ‘loud’ and very powerful, played with the right F*** YOU attitude. This one also includes the original label advert (see scan). Cult !! Cult !! Cult !!
