***NEW 40TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION!!! Sudden Death and DOA have gone back in time and restored one of punk’s seminal albums, Something Better Change, and reissued it on vinyl for it’s 40th anniversary. One also gets the original lyric sheet insert and the original foldout insert with pics of Joey Shithead, Chuck Biscuits, Randy Rampage and Dave Gregg. “The product of two years of solid gigging in their native Vancouver, by the hottest punk rock band the West Coast ever produced this side of the much different Weirdos and Avengers, Something Better Change features a trio so molten, they didn’t even manage to get it all down in the studio. And yet it still is an absolutely awesome record. So heavy with chops it nearly leaks, soaring like the best Clash/Pistols/S.L.F. riffs filtered through an American anvil power even those greats couldn’t approach.” —Jack Rabid, All Music
