ABOUT THIS ITEM

Remastered for vinyl from the original analog tapes.

"Bad Moon Rising" was Sonic Youth's third album, preceded by the "Death Valley '69" 7" single in 1984 which featured demo versions of both "Death Valley" and "Brave Men Run" from "Bad Moon Rising". The original 12" release contained eight songs, from the majestic opening notes of "Intro" to Lydia Lunch's furious howl that ends "Death Valley '69" - all songs segue together except for the side break between "I Love Her All The Time" and "Ghost Bitch". This was Sonic Youth at their experimental best, colliding noise with abstract melodies, they would never again sound this abstract. A defining art-rock classic!
