Violent Femmes – Violent Femmes 180g LP Vinyl Record (Slash Records) NM Folk Punk Classic
Up for sale is a near-mint copy of the self-titled debut from Violent Femmes, presented as a heavyweight 180-gram pressing on Slash Records. This 1983 landmark album virtually invented acoustic punk and remains one of the most influential alternative records ever released. The 180g vinyl treatment gives these iconic tracks the weight and warmth they deserve – from the unforgettable opening bass line of "Blister in the Sun" to the album's final notes, this is essential listening on quality wax.
Violent Femmes emerged from Milwaukee with acoustic guitars, a snare drum, and a bass held together with duct tape – and somehow created one of the most enduring albums of the 1980s. Songs like "Blister in the Sun," "Gone Daddy Gone," "Add It Up," and "Kiss Off" became anthems for generations of misfits and outcasts, their raw angst and dark humor connecting with listeners in ways polished MTV fare never could. This album launched a thousand college radio stations and still sounds as fresh and furious as the day it was recorded.
