First ever vinyl reissue, originally released in 1981. Founded in the northern Italian port city of Ravenna in the summer of 1980, S.I.B. (Swelling Itching Brain) was comprised of former members of new wave covers band R.N.A. Transfert, singer Tracy Crazy was a huge UK Subs fan. The band's scorching live performances drew a loyal following, leading to an approach by L.M. Records, Ravenna's foremost punk and new wave imprint, to cut Third World War, their sole LP. The band's sound was a very personal one, with reggae, punk, hardcore, and new wave all part of the mix -- too varied for an audience strictly loyal to genre boundaries. Unjustly overlooked following the group's demise, we are pleased to give Third World War the reissue it deserves some 40 years later. Gatefold; includes double-sided insert and liner notes by Stefano Gilardino; edition of 500.
