Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
This 24-song compilation was originally released on CD/DVD through Welfare records in 2011 and it's been out of print ever since. We are selling off our remaining sealed copies on our merch page. The CD contains all 24 songs the band ever recorded in the studio. Keep in mind: the mixes on this version differ greatly from the ones recently released on the Asylum LP, which just came out in in June 2022 on FOAD records.

The package also includes a DVD featuring a 24-minute concert of the band playing live at Love Hall in 1983 opening for White Cross and The Minutemen. Also on the DVD is an amazing 28-minute taping of them playing live at Unsound Central aka Jeff's basement sometime during the winter of 1984.

Includes unlimited streaming of Epitaph: 1982-1985 CD/DVD via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about
