condition (records/box/inserts): NM / EX- (light edges wear) / NM Includes 24 page, 6"x9" booklet with black and white photos printed on yellow paper + 20"x40" black and white poster with drawings of dinosaurs by David + 11"x11" two-sided black and white lyric sheet with an illustration by Jad. The Fair brothers' 1980 debut unleashed on Armageddon remains one of the most fearless statements in experimental music. Jad and David Fair carved out a unique space where primitive punk energy collides with avant-garde sensibility, operating on pure instinct rather than traditional musicianship. Guitars scrape and feedback, drums tumble without orthodox rhythm, yet somehow songs emerge from the chaos. This monumental 3LP box captures their unfiltered vision with complete documentation: 24-page booklet printed on yellow paper with black and white photos, massive 20"x40" black and white poster featuring David's dinosaur drawings, and 11"x11" two-sided lyric sheets adorned with Jad's illustrations. The packaging itself is an artwork that mirrors the music's handmade aesthetic. The vinyl is pristine, the box shows only light edge wear. Essential artifact from the underground that influenced everyone from Sonic Youth to contemporary noise-pop.
