BAD BRAINS

Black Dots (LP)

Vinilissimo Records - 15 €

Bad Brains "Black Dots" is the first official studio recording for the seminal punk rock artists. This is its first official reissue in over 20 years, pressed in a limited edition of 1500 copies on white vinyl. Surfacing out of nowhere in 1996, "Black Dots" turned out to be an archival release of the best kind, something truly rare and unheard that also captured a band at its best. Nearly all the legendary early hits are here, including "Pay to Cum," "Don't Need It," "Regulator," "Banned in D.C.," "How Low Can a Punk Get?" and "Attitude," while a number of otherwise unheard or never-recorded elsewhere numbers make "Black Dots" easily the equal of the ROIR cassette.
