S/T EP / Berserker (Remastered) Vinyl
In the early 80s, Scratch Acid emerged as the avant-garde outliers of punk, sidestepping the hardcore zeitgeist in favor of a more enigmatic and artistic sound. Their debut S/T EP captured the attention of Touch and Go Records' Corey Rusk with its raw intensity and vivid originality, spinning buzz across fanzines and college radios nationwide. Their eccentric live performances became legendary touchpoints for a counterculture eager to witness punk's next evolution.
While working initially with Rabid Cat Records, the band’s audacious spirit caught the eye of Rusk, who couldn't resist supporting their live gigs. This camaraderie eventually paved the way for Touch and Go to release their second EP, Berserker, which further solidified their reputation with its raw energy and artistic edge, pushing the boundaries of rock’s established norms.
This 180g vinyl reissue, skillfully remastered by Bob Weston from the original analog tapes, is no mere nostalgic nod but a pulsating testament to Scratch Acid's enduring influence. A must-have for collectors and audiophiles, this release serves as a tactile journey into a pivotal era, where noise and art collided with provocative intent.
