Plasmatics - The Vice Squad Recordings 1978-1979 LP

The self-destructive allure of the New York 1970's punk scene couldn't be better encapsulated by any act as much as The Plasmatics. The dynamic core duo of Wendy O. Williams and Rod Swenson would engage in nudity and violence, damage their equipment on stage and even incite chaos at their scuzzy, once in a lifetime shows. 'Vice Squad Records Recordings' compiles the long out of print slew of self-released EPs the group would drop before their now seminal debut full-length, 'New Hope For The Wretched'. On this new LP home, 'Butcher Baby', 'Dream Lover' and 'Meet The Plasmatics', all come together to offer modern fidelity to some of the vital, criminal and adult punk to ever bubble up from the late seventies/early eighties crusty NY underworld.
