THE CROWD – SURF GHETTO RIOT (BIG WAVES & WIPEOUTS 1994-2014)

Huntington Beach’s original day-glo Beach Blvd. punks return with this spectacular plate of vinyl fortitude, a collection of their greatest post 80’s tracks. Obscure compilation tracks, the rare 45’s, a few new rippers and some lost nuggets all collected up here on a beach punk bonfire for your turntable. All tracks remastered by Jack Control (FEAR) for a new explosive punk sound. The Crowd debuted on the legendary Beach Blvd. Posh Boy records comp and have maintained their signature sound and fury at every turn. Includes the mega RARE re-recording of their classic, Living in Madrid, a blistering cover of the Weirdos’ Solitary Confinement and a long lost cover from their house party days of the Yardbirds’ For Your Love. LP version features 3 alternate non-CD tracks. This smasher was limited to 550 copies on colored vinyl, then reprinted on 180 gram black vinyl; comes with extensive liner notes and photos and is a great addition to any punk collection. Riot On!
