Description
Welcome to Venice is a compilation album that features local Venice Beach punk and metal bands. It was released in 1985 on Suicidal Records. It was produced by Mike Muir and features cover art by Michael Seiff, who would go on to do art for the three other original Suicidal Records releases.
The album was the first record on Suicidal Records, a label started by Suicidal Tendencies members Mike Muir and Louiche Mayorga after the band went on hiatus. Of the bands on the release, two feature Muir on vocals (Suicidal Tendencies and Los Cycos) and the other three all later released albums on Suicidal Records (Beowülf, No Mercy and Excel). It was initially to include Neighborhood Watch, but they were left off due to a disagreement over rent at a house Muir shared with band members John Flitcraft and Dave Hutchinson. The album has only ever been released on vinyl and cassette. Due to its rarity, it is now a sought after collectors item.
