BAD BRAINS 'Bad Brains'

'Bad Brains' is the self-titled debut studio album recorded by American hardcore punk/reggae band BAD BRAINS. Recorded in 1981 and released on (then) cassette-only label ROIR on February 5, 1982, many fans refer to it as "The Yellow Tape" because of its yellow packaging. Though BAD BRAINS had recorded the 16 songs 'Black Dots' album in 1979 and the 5-song 'Omega Sessions' EP in 1980, the 'ROIR' cassette was the band's first release of anything longer than a single. In coordination with the band, Org Music has overseen the restoration and remastering of the iconic BAD BRAINS’ recordings. The audio was mastered by Dave Gardner at Infrasonic Mastering and pressed at Furnace Record Pressing.
