WASTED YOUTH "REAGAN'S IN" LP Description:

You are bidding on a vinyl copy of an awesome hardcore record by L.A.'s WASTED YOUTH. The record ie entitled "REAGAN'S IN." THIS IS THE VERY FIRST PRESSING FROM 1981 ON ICI RECORDS.

The sleeve is in great condition with some fairly normal wear for a white cover and a minor wrinkle to the upper right corner. The vinyl is in really clean condition. It looks perfect to me, but since I don't have a record player I can't offer any absolute guarantees, but it appears to my eye as super clean.

The cover drawing is by Pushead. A great album for your collection if you are a Pushead collector. The back cover features an iconic photograph of someone doing a stagediving backflip. There is a lyric sheet enclosed with some wrinkling to it.

It's a great example of a very scarce American hardcore punk album.

Often compared to Black Flag, Wasted Youth was a great punk band in its own right and was among the exciting bands to come from the Los Angeles punk scene of the late '70s/early '80s. If you're looking for slickness, you won't find it on Reagan's In, a ten-song EP that first came out in 1981. Reagan's In is about as raw as it gets -- not only does the production reject slickness completely, but also, the lyrics are extremely raw, direct, and gut-level. This is true of snarling socio-political rants like the title song (an inflammatory attack on President Ronald Reagan), "Born Deprived," and "F*** Authority," as well as the crude, off-color "Uni-High Beefrag." Wasted Youth's lyrics are about as subtle as a sledgehammer, but then, subtlety isn't what the L.A. residents were going for -- like Black Flag, the Circle Jerks, and other L.A. punk outfits of that era, Wasted Youth follows its gut instincts. And on this very angry EP, those instincts serve the band well.

Songs are:

SIDE A
Reagan's In
Problem Child
Teenage Nark
Uni-High Beefrag
Born Deprived

SIDE B
F*** Authority
You're a Jerk
We Were on Heroin
Punk for a Day
Flush the Bouncers
