{"product_id":"sublime-gold-2cd","title":"Sublime - Gold [2CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eGold brings the sunburnt ska, punk and reggae of Sublime together on a remastered 2CD edition from 2005, tracing the Long Beach trio across all three of their studio albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBradley Nowell, Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh built their sound at Southern California backyard parties and small clubs, borrowing freely from Jamaican dancehall, hardcore punk, hip-hop and surf culture. Their story was cut short when Nowell died in 1996, just before their self-titled major-label album made them stars, which gives these songs a bittersweet glow that has never really faded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first disc leans on the scrappy early material, with Badfish swaying on a laid-back reggae groove beside a run of punk blasts and dub experiments. The second disc is where the best-known songs live. Santeria remains a masterclass in easygoing storytelling, What I Got pairs an acoustic strum with Nowell's warm, conversational vocal, and Doin' Time drifts along on a hazy summertime sample that still sounds like heat rising off the pavement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross forty-four tracks, the mix of punk energy and reggae patience holds together remarkably well, proof that Sublime's genre collisions came from real love of the music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor newer fans, this is a generous introduction. For longtime ones, it gathers a whole era of beach-town soul in one place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57478976012593,"sku":"602498869666","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Sublime-Gold_2CD.jpg?v=1794396941","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/sublime-gold-2cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
