BAD BRAINS 'I Against I' LP

"Plutonium" colored vinyl re-issue! I Against I is the third studio album from Bad Brains, originally released in 1986 on SST Records. It remains influential to this day, inspiring countless punk, ska, reggae, and hardcore bands with its innovative sound and uncompromising attitude. This reissue marks the eighth release in the remaster campaign, re-launching the Bad Brains Records label imprint. 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 and pressed at Furnace Record Pressing.

Abandoning the speed-freak punk come dub reggae crossover of old, Bad Brains now employed funk and conventional rock stylings. What they lost in 'edge' they more than compensated for in power, allowing temperamental vocalist H.R. to make the most of his famously elastic vocal range over the album's 31 minutes. The exception was 'Sacred Love', where H.R.'s vocals were phoned in from jail during recording sessions after being busted for marijuana possession.
