PORTERHOUSE PUNKS UP THE HOLIDAYS WITH BEEFY VINYL REISSUES OF X, CIRCLE JERKS CLASSICS \u2013 MULTI-LP PACKAGES AT LEAN PRICES<\/b><\/div>\n

L.A. Bands\u2019 Classic Releases Now Available as Sizzling Combo Platters \u2013 the Perfectly Wild Gift for a \u201cWild in the Streets\u201d Holiday Season; Re-Mastered Discs, Original Artwork Ensure Primo Sound, Vision
LOS ANGELES (October 4, 2010) \u2014 Porterhouse Prime Vinyl (a division of Porterhouse Records) is serving up a tempting holiday feast for fans of classic L.A. punk. The imprint will bundle its reissues of classic releases by two of punk\u2019s most influential bands, X and the Circle Jerks, at super holiday prices. This one-of-a-kind sale, offered via the Porterhouse Records online store (http:\/\/porterhouserecords.com\/store.html) and selected retailers, begins at midnight, October 31, and runs through midnight, December 31 \u2013 or until stock is sold out.
Three discs from X\u2019s glorious creative peak \u2013 Wild Gift, Under the Big Black Sun and More Fun in the New World \u2013 re-mastered and pressed on thick, audiophile-quality 180-gram vinyl with all their original artwork and lyric sheets scrupulously reproduced, will be sold as the Wild Black Fun Gift Pack for just $45 (plus shipping). Created by X fans for X fans, these 12-inch beauties are a thrilling immersion in the sonic punch, lyric bite and all-around electricity of this extraordinary band.
Rolling Stone dubbed Wild Gift \u201cthe finest American punk album ever\u201d and included Under the Big Black Sun in its list of the top 500 albums of all time. And the politically charged More Fun in the New World sounds as blisteringly relevant as it did in Reagan era. These three landmark albums boast such essential cuts as \u201cBeyond and Back,\u201d \u201cWhite Girl,\u201d \u201cBlue Spark,\u201d \u201cThe Hungry Wolf,\u201d \u201cThe Have Nots,\u201d \u201cDevil Doll\u201d and \u201cHot House,\u201d and showcase X\u2019s uncanny ability to filter the history of American music through its own uncompromising prism.
\u201cThe great thing about these reissues is that they are perfect reproductions of the originals,\u201d says X frontwoman Exene Cervenka who \u2013 along with her bandmates \u2013 oversaw the reissues. \u201cNo extra tracks. No updated, modern, ugly graphics. No editorializing. They are time capsules.\u201d
Four kinetic discs from the brilliantly irreverent Circle Jerks, meanwhile \u2013 Group Sex (on hot pink vinyl and once deemed \u201cthe most wonderful, unexpected gem to arrive in some time\u201d by Vicki Arkoff of the Los Angeles Times), Wild in the Streets, Golden Shower of Hits and Wonderful (\u201cOne of the best punk rock recordings of all time,\u201d according to an Amazon.com review) \u2013 also get the deluxe Porterhouse treatment on these slabs of speaker-rattling bliss. All the discs have been re-mastered, and Golden Shower and Wonderful have been pressed on 180-gram vinyl. Available for the first time in two decades, these seminal releases have been gathered as the Ultimate Jerk-Off Gift Pack for the incredible price of $50 (plus shipping).\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0They\u2019ve been re-mastered for maximum moshability, and include their original lyrics sheets (so you can sing along with indelible tracks like \u201cWild in the Streets,\u201d \u201cRed Tape\u201d and \u201cWhen the Shit Hits the Fan\u201d). These packed platters are guaranteed to keep your neighbors awake throughout the holidays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
