Label:	SIRE
Format:	LP
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	SR 6038HLP

Exact repro of the classic 1st Dead Boys album, originally issued by Sire in 1977; 180 gram vinyl. "The Dead Boys moved to New York City in 1977 from Cleveland, Ohio shortly after the punk rock explosion started in New York. Shorty thereafter, the Dead Boys signed a record contract with Sire Records promising two studio albums and one live album. Largely influenced by groups such as Iggy Pop and the Stooges and Detroit's MC5, the Dead Boys released their debut Young Loud and Snotty in May of 1977. A very raw, powerful, and obnoxious debut."

Title:	We Have Come For Your Children
Label:	SIRE
Format:	LP
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	SR 6054HLP

Exact repro vinyl version of their second album, originally released by Sire in 1978; 180 gram vinyl. "The Dead Boys set their sights on their sophomore effort, which was originally to be produced by Lou Reed (with a working title of 'Down to Kill'). But at the insistence of their record company (who was trying to convince the band to soften up their sound a bit to produce a breakthrough hit), the group enlisted former Cream producer (and bassist for early-'70s Cream disciples Mountain) Felix Pappalardi. The match didn't prove to be a fitting one, as the former hippie didn't understand the sonic onslaught of these young punks, resulting in an album that failed to expand on the promise of their debut. With a new title of We Have Come for Your Children, the album spawned another punk classic in 'Ain't It Fun,' but the disc sold even fewer copies than its predecessor." --Greg Prato & Stephen Thomas Erlewine
