Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll is the sixth album by American punk rock band Social Distortion. It is their first studio album in eight years, since the release of White Light, White Heat, White Trash in 1996, the longest gap between Social Distortion's studio albums to date. The album was originally scheduled to be released in the fall of 2000, but was not yet completed, and it was officially released on September 28, 2004. A great deal of the album is a musical eulogy to former guitarist Dennis Danell, who died in 2000.
This one's got all the hits - the way they are supposed to sound. Pick your favorite Matt Freeman barnburner and see for yourself - you won't play another version ever again. Arguably the "biggest" record of their 20-year stint so far, this record deserves to be played in any punk DJ set... no matter how many times you've heard it, that bassline on "Maxwell Murder," the urge "Listed MIA" gives you to run around in a circle and the timelessness of "Avenues & Alleyways" are all proof of this record being a gift to the world. 7" pack is bound together with a collectible, printed, faux leather obi-strip and is limited to 1,000 copies.
To commemorate 20 years since Rancid's inception in 1992, this box set contains 92 sides of music: 46 remastered 45 RPM 7"s housed in this (faux) leather box set with all new sleeve designs. With a band as good as this, with as many amazing albums as they have, this truly is the essentials; fully documenting 20 years of Rancid in audiophile quality and top-of-the-line digs. Limited edition of 1,000 sets.
"Let's Go" has never sounded so huge. Already available on virtually every other format and sold out on most, this recording will pass all tests - it's as audiophile as it gets. The intentional grittiness of this record is the essence of why Rancid is Rancid, and why some things never change - and shouldn't. 7" pack is bound together with a collectible, printed, faux leather obi-strip and is limited to 1,000 copies.
After three years traveling the world endlessly, the musical diversity that Rancid illustrates in this masterpiece speaks for itself. While it might bring back nostalgic Warped Tour memories for some, for others (including a lot of musicians) "Life Won't Wait" took an eager and anxious group of diehards off-guard and pleasantly surprised them by really drawing from their roots and spilling out this coup of an album in a big way. Adorned in six new sleeves, and remastered for vinyl by Pirates Press, this version - like this album - is something special. 7" pack is bound together with a collectible, printed, faux leather obi-strip and is limited to 1,000 copies.
