Is This Real?

Format: LP

Record Label: Jackpot

Condition: New

Reissue of their debut album - remastered from the original master tapes - pressed on audiophile grade vinyl - housed in a deluxe "tip-on" style jacket - includes an insert that replicates the original inner sleeve - originally released in 1980

Unquestionably Portland's most well-loved punk group, the Wipers formed in the late 1970s and in 1980 released their debut LP, Is This Real? - twelve songs of stabbing, jittery guitar, snapped vocals, and unabashed teen angst. Full of desperation and yearning, the LP has stood as a blueprint for wretched youth for over 25 years. In the early 1990s Is This Real? was given mainstream attention when Nirvana covered two tracks off the record and Cobain announced it was one of the primary influences on his group. While it was reissued on CD and available as a part of the Wipers Boxed Set, this is the first time Is This Real? has been available on vinyl in the U.S. since its initial release. The Jackpot Records reissue of Is This Real? is a lavish tribute to one of the greatest recordings of the last 30 years.
