Originally released on cassette, Bad Brains’ 1982 debut album is not just the quintessential release from the quartet, but one of the biggest tentpoles of the original hardcore movement. Recorded shortly after the group transplanted themselves from D.C. to NYC, it’s a perfect primer to Bad Brains’ hyper-fast and influential brilliance — from a super sped-up version of early single “Pay to Cum,” to the manic and melodic pace of “Sailin’ On” and “The Regulator” (the latter sampled by mega-fans Beastie Boys). Jolted with energy, and spiced with a hint of reggae, the vinyl pressing of their “Yellow Tape” is an essential spin for any punk fan.
