Scratch Acid Box Set 3 LP, book and 7" (Touch and Go)
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). Most of us had the CD compilation of these releases which suffers from that era’s fidelity. Enter this box!!!
Limited to 2000 sets worldwide and remastered by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service, this Scratch Acid Box box includes 180-gram clear LP pressings of all three releases, a 24-page booklet featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes photos, liner notes from David Yow, Brett Bradford, and photographer/journalist Pat Blashill, and full-color 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.
