Diehard crystal clear vinyl limited to 100 copies.
The official audiophile reissue of one of the undisputed holy grails of early Italian hardcore!
Originally self-released by the bands in 1983 as a 7" EP with a DIY xeroxed sleeve, this landmark recording captured the most furious, distorted and uncompromising spirit of the first Italian hardcore wave. Like countless DIY punk records of its era, the original EP was all about fitting as much music as possible onto a self-financed release. More than ten minutes were cut onto each side of a 7", a bold choice that perfectly reflected the urgency of the time, while inevitably pushing the format beyond its ideal sonic limits. For this definitive reissue, the original 1/4" analogue master reel has been meticulously transferred and restored, then mastered for a 12" cut at 45 RPM. Freed from the constraints of the original format, these recordings finally reveal their full dynamic range. The closest you'll ever get to hearing these recordings exactly as they exploded from the master tape in 1983! To preserve the authentic DIY spirit of the original release, the record comes housed in an old-school 6-panel fold-out sleeve faithfully recreating the artwork, packaging and atmosphere of the first pressing + additional outer jacket with die-cut stickers. An essential release for anyone devoted to the rawest and most uncompromising early 80s Italian hardcore!!
