Birmingham 1982. UK hardcore doesn’t get rawer than this. GBH’s debut on Clay Records — recorded at FSR Studios in Birmingham — hit #2 on the British indie charts and #20 on the national chart, all on a tiny independent, while Metallica, Megadeth, and Anthrax were busy citing it as a primary influence. The Motörhead crunch meets UK82 brutality, Colin Abrahall’s snarl out front, and not a wasted second across the whole record.
Genre: Punk / Hardcore / UK82
Year: 1982
Label: Clay Records — CLAY LP 4
Country: UK
Condition: Media: VG+ / Sleeve: VG+
Notes: Original UK pressing; includes lyric innersleeve
