Remastered by Toshihisa Hirano from the original tapes
Jacket featuring the iconic FVK split 12" slightly re-envisioned
Description
In celebration of the band's recent reunion appearance at a memorial gig for Roger Armstrong in Tokyo, Beach Impediment is honored to offer up the studio recordings of THE SCUMBAG on vinyl for the first time in over three decades! A bi-product of the late 80's crossover culture that was sweeping the world, THE SCUMBAG existed from 1988 through 1989, releasing a demo tape titled "Have Fun! More Fun!" and appearing on the V/A - ENJOY YOUR YOUTH BY THIS HARDCORE SAMPLER 12" alongside contemporaries like DISCLAIM, SIC, D.O.N.D.O.N. and FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS; the latter of which they'd share a split 12" with on the legendary MCR Company label in 1991 which accompanied a reunion with the original lineup. While most of the members would continue on in DREAD YANKEES, bassist Takeshi Fukushima would go on to play with the likes of IDORA, SWEATS and ROCKY & THE SWEDEN. The mix of traditional Japanese hardcore with fast paced thrash and occasional melody yielded memorable and unique recordings that are available once again, remastered by Toshihisa Hirano from the original tapes. Each record comes in a jacket featuring the iconic FVK split 12" slightly re-envisioned, along with an insert featuring archival imagery from the band's all too brief run.
