Hailing from the Jersey Shore, the Worst began their career in the late 1970s playing frequent gigs at legendary New York City dives like Max’s Kansas City and CBGB, drawing on the proto-punk sounds of the Stooges and MC5 and refining it into their own brand of proto-hardcore. By the early 1980s the band stripped things down even further to a high velocity hardcore sound and kicked off the legendary Mutha label with the release of their debut 7″ in 1982. Their follow-up release, the “Expect The Worst” 12″ from 1984, finds the band hitting their loud and fast peak with precision songwriting and performing rarely matched by other hardcore bands of the time. These vinyl releases have gone on to become top-shelf collector’s items, and rightfully so given the quality of the tunes contained within.
Originally released on CD in 2004 by Parts Unknown Records, this LP version combines both of The Worst’s incendiary vinyl releases with an 8-song live set recorded at the legendary Max’s Kansas City in 1979. Also includes a 12-page, 12″x12″ booklet containing rare flyers and photos, plus newly-penned liner notes by vocalist Do-It.
Pressing of 1000 copies.
