Description
Bad Brains – “I Against I” Punk Note Edition LP
The third studio album from Bad Brains, originally released in 1986 on SST Records. This “Punk Note” edition comes with alternate packaging artwork from designer John Yates (Stealworks). The artwork is a nod to Reid Miles and Francis Wolff, and their amazing work at the Blue Note label. The first of their recordings to drop the alternating reggae-punk mix in favour of a hardcore/funk/hard-rock hybrid, which, with hind sight, was way ahead of the game, as was always the case with this trend setting band. Infamously, H.R. provided the vocals for “Sacred Love” over the phone from the Lorton Reformatory while banged-up on a cannabis charge, and you have to wonder what some of his fellow inmates made of it all.
