Vinyl is true all-analog, HQ-180 pressing. "The moment punk turned into art" - Salon.com.

Its been 28 years since I seen them on Kenmore Square and every band afterwards has to live up to a new standard in indie and punk music. Yes, they were just like us, and they are still like us. The music still breathes back then against the political foray of the time, and it still remains strong today. They believe in us, all of us, and we do to.

Forget what 2008 brings, they started it all back when. Not whiny, whimpy or stupid. Just straight talk to the head, heart and life. This album set the tone for all of us to remember what was, is and still can be.

Listen to the classics, but really read the words of Devotion and Fame and Fortune. A prelude to where we are today. Ahead of their time and just as relevant to when they slash their guitars in the Rat.

Mission of Burma, the ultimate standard.
