The Record (180g) [Limited Numbered Edition Translucent Magenta Vinyl] [LP]

Together with Black Flag and the Circle Jerks, Fear shaped the sound and style of L.A. hardcore. Although they were formed during the first wave of punk in 1977, they didn't release an album called "The Record" until five years later.

They used their music to piss off everyone around them, and they accomplished that goal with flying colors on their debut album. It remains a punk classic to this day, and Mark Rigby of Record Collector called it "probably the most exciting and impressive, one-dimensional, uncouth, tasteless, obnoxious 'hate' record ever made".

The album yielded only one single, "I Love Livin in the City", but contains many other gems, including "We Destroy the Family", "Let's Have a War" and "Beef Boloney".

The record is available in a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on translucent magenta vinyl.
