SCRATCH ACID - Scratch Acid Box Set (w/ 24-page booklet) - 3LP + 7'' - Clear Vinyl [MAR 14]

3LP + 7'' - Limited Edition Deluxe 180g Clear Vinyl Box Set with 24-page booklet. Only 2000 sets worldwide. Remastered by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service.

Born out of the early 1980’s Austin noise punk scene, Scratch Acid deliberately eschewed the loud, fast rules of hardcore as everything they didn’t want to be and embraced a weirder, artier sound. The band’s eventual permanent line-up consisted of David Yow on vocals, Brett Bradford on guitar, David Wm. Sims on bass, and Rey Washam on drums. During their brief existence from 1982 to 1987, the band released 3 records, including a full-length album (Just Keep Eating) and two EPs (S/T EP, Berserker).

Touch and Go Records release the Scratch Acid Box Set - limited to 2000 sets worldwide. Remastered by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service, the box set includes 180-gram clear LP pressings of all three releases as well as a 24-page booklet featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes photos, liner notes by David Yow, Brett Bradford, and photographer/journalist Pat Blashill, as well as full-colour paintings by contemporary artist Mark Todd from the same era as the cover art for the S/T EP and Berserker releases. In addition, this limited Scratch Acid box set includes an exclusive clear vinyl 7” with both tracks the band contributed to the 1986 Touch and Go Records compilation, God’s Favorite Dog. The 7-inch includes cover art by Mark Todd as well.
