It also comes with a double sided insert and a digital download coupon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo put this release into context for the uninformed:  Big Black began in 1982. Steve Steve Albini, then a sophomore at Northwestern University, fanzine writer and loudmouth, released the Lungs EP on the Chicago co-operative label Ruthless (whose other artists at the time included Naked Raygun and the Effigies). Lungs was recorded in his apartment on a borrowed 4-track for the price of one case of beer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter that record’s release, Jeff Pezzati (singer for Naked Raygun) and Santiago Durango (Naked Raygun, Arsenal), both linchpins of the burgeoning Chicago music scene, joined Big Black. During this period, the band established itself as a live act, recorded two more records, the Bulldozer EP and the Racer X EP, toured the U.S., and had -in general– a pretty good time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJeff Pezzati’s other obligations precipitated his departure from the band in 1984, when he was replaced by Dave Riley, bass player for Chicago swing-punk band Savage Beliefs. This lineup persisted until the band’s self-destruction in August of 1987.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBig Black toured the U.S., England, Europe, and Austrailia. They recorded a sh**load of records: Il Duce 45, Atomizer LP, Headache EP (which bore the heartbreakingly-honest disclaimer “Warning! Not as good as Atomizer. Don’t get your hopes up, Cheese.”), Heartbeat 45, He’s A Whore 45, Songs About Fucking LP, and Pig Pile LP \/ Video.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #808080;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJordan Minnesota\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #808080;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePassing Complexion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #808080;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBig Money\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #808080;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKerosene\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #808080;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBad Houses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #808080;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFists of Love\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #808080;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStinking Drunk\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #808080;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBazooka Joe\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #808080;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrange Things\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #808080;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCables (Live)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Encore Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58217629778303,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/0525\/5551\/files\/036172079360_400_large_f723eaac-cc3b-4c41-b25a-966793997f8e.webp?v=1787206582","url":"https:\/\/thevinyltable.com\/products\/lp-big-black-atomizer","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
