I do love the BB selftitled cover, but Rock For Light IMO is the best versions of those songs
I get it that those are the original versions, but sounds like crap


There are no wrong answers but I think the original Banned In DC is vastly superior. A thermonuclear rollercoaster.  The Big Bang. A perfect moment in time captured.  And the shitty production actually isn’t so bad on that one.

Whereas the Rock for Light version is kind of watered down.  Doesn’t quite have that lightning charge. Original guitar solo is also way better.
so it's a gem on that tape and in all my years never listened to them back to back
100% agree on the solo, enrgy is pretty tight on the rfl one tho
I'd really only knew the RfL version most of my life, so it's really hard to compare as that one was kind of an atom bomb to my 14 year old ears

I heard this funny story about how in the 90s who ever remastered RFL fucked up and the cd version is like 20% faster
then that leads into the era where it's ripped to sites like napster
So a whole generation of punks in the 90s-2000 became fans were doing these covers that were so much faster because the thought it was supposed to be that way
"The original mix was only available on the out-of-print PVC Records version and 1987 CD-versions until 2021."

I will say the moment I knew I was a ride or die Bad Brains fan is someone gave me a tape of Rat Music for Rat People
and their one two punch of live versions of How Low can a punk get and You (minute 13.26) just left my jaw on the floor and wanting more (with Circle Jerks - Live Fast Die Young proceeding them too!)
Little did I know that they were a NYC band and became hooked on Rfl and caught them on the I against I tour at some weird venue on long Island in front of the bay shore mall
I even bought a bad brains shirt with the cover of S/T (and didn't know that was what it was from)

(some ex-girlfriend swiped it...I got her Madonna tshirt ...so almost a fair trade as I still wear that shirt today, it's aged so well)


I will say this reissue punk note edition cover is killer (although not as cool as the original cover you referenced)


It took was an adventure for me to track down a copy of the PVC vinyl for a decent price in the early days of ebay.

I have that sped-up RFL cd.  It's unlistenable.  It's hard to imagine people thought it was supposed to be like that. I remember hearing it for the first time and thinking "Why would you need to make BB sound even FASTER?"

I can't believe Metalica was in Alexandria and they didn't stop by to say hi

It sold out like four months ago

wonder why now?  I feel like his Howard and other 9:30 shows didn't sell out

is this the Bearman-effect as now slowdive is at the anthem (that doesn't appear to be going to sell out...and budget friendly anthem price of $45)
