Bad Brains - Bad Brains

Limited Edition "Banana Peel" yellow vinyl

Mastered by Dave Gardner at Infrasonic Mastering

Pressed at Furnace Record Pressing

Bad Brains is the self-titled debut studio album recorded by American hardcore punk/reggae band Bad Brains. Recorded in 1981 and released on (then) cassette-only label ROIR on Feb. 5, 1982, many fans refer to it as "The Yellow Tape" because of its yellow packaging. Though Bad Brains had recorded the 16-song Black Dots album in 1979 and the 5-song Omega Sessions EP in 1980, the ROIR cassette was the band's first release of anything longer than a single.

The release includes the original liner notes by Ira Kaplan of Yo La Tengo. In coordination with the band, ORG Music has overseen the restoration and remastering of the iconic Bad Brains' recordings. The audio was mastered by Dave Gardner at Infrasonic Mastering, and the record was pressed on special "Banana Peel" variant vinyl at Furnace Record Pressing.
