{"product_id":"murphys-law-bong-blast","title":"Murphy's Law \"Bong Blast\" LP","description":"\n            \u003cp\u003eIn 1983, Murphy's Law issued their first release: a limited edition nine-song cassette entitled \"Bong Blast\" that captured the band thrashing away live at various CBGB hardcore matinees. These nine tracks are the perfect representation of the band — \"thrash, punk, metal and reggae all thrown together in a humorous way\" as Maximumrocknroll aptly put it way back in 1983, and which still rings true today. The original lineup represented here included vocalist Jimmy G, guitarist Alex \"Uncle Al\" Morris, Cro-Mags founder Harley Flanagan on drums, and early Agnostic Front bassist Adam Mucci.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band's own Creepy Crawl label would later press \"Bong Blast\" on LP and CD in the mid '90s, but this release went quickly out of print with most copies ending up overseas and these days commands a premium on the collector market. Radio Raheem and Generation Records are proud to bring this release back to life the only way we know how: with lots of extras!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis new vinyl pressing adds five bonus tracks recorded in the summer of 1985 with Jimmy and Uncle Al being joined by drummer Petey Hines and future Underdog bassist Russ Iglay. These tracks were rumored to have been recorded as an EP for BYO Records, but for reasons unknown, only made it out into the world as promo cassettes sent to a handful of fanzines (with the copy used for this release coming from the Flipside archives). The band would later re-record these five tracks for their 1986 debut LP on Profile Records and the rest, as they say, is history. Rounding out the package is a 16-page, 12\"x12\" full-color booklet featuring the usual goods: many never-before seen photos, flyers, and other bits of forgotten ephemera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSplit release with our friends Generation Records in NYC, available on green vinyl from Radio Raheem and yellow vinyl from Generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTRACK LISTING:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: normal;\"\u003e01.
