No more Bad Town...............Here's a few that equal this one, London Calling, Setting Sons, Inflammable Material, you get the idea, absolutely essential stuff, you probably dig Rancid, NOFX, DKM's, etc. so you start here, released in '89 before rock became trendy and faddish. Every tune rocks with abandon and the muscianship is first rate. 'nough said. If you don't own it by now, just keep spinning Radiohead. .
Pure Old School Punk/Ska at it's best
I remember picking this album up at Vintage Vinyl in 1991 and playing it non stop till had had to get another copy because the first was worn/scratched to death. This is one of those albums if you enjoy Punk/Ska that you have to own.
You can tell that is was a prequel to Rancid, but is it different and exciting in its own way. I could only imagine what would have happened if they had stayed together.
One of the best!
I guarantee this CD will not disappoint and now that it is available for much more reasonable price everyone should own it! PICK IT UP, PICK IT UP,,,HA ha ha hahaha!
. Just simply a great compilation of all there best songs from hard to find Op Ivy releases.
Classic
This got him off to his start. This is a great record! Armstrong at his best before Rancid and The Transplants. If your interested in Punk Rock, Ska, or Rancid get a wiff of this! I think this is better that Rancid, in my own opinoin, and one of the best punk bands of the late 80's and early 90's. Great Album, must have. . . if you don't have it already! .
Best punk album of 1989
. . along with Bad Brains' "I Against I. " Like ska-punk? Get Op-Ivy. Forget Rancid. GET THIS.
