Independent Years' is full of anthems for the broken and beaten. They were amazing at atmospheric rock and roll, heavy on emotion without pretention. Social Distortion, fueled by the pain and intense emotions of Mike Ness, have been a punk rock and roll institution since 1978. They burst out of the LA Punk scene brandishing a few seven inches of classics. They manifested on TVs of suburban punks by documenting a forsaken cross-country bus tour with Youth Brigade, and later, Minor Threat, in Another State of Mind.

Social Distortion's vinyl box set, The Independent Years: 1983 -2004, collects the band's independent label releases from Mommy's Little Monster, Prison Bound, and Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll to the compilation Mainliner (Wreckage From The Past), all on unique translucent colored vinyl. Mommy's Little Monster (Red translucent vinyl) is Social Distortion's 1983 debut album and recorded in a single session after Mike Ness's participation in the 1982 Another State of Mind punk documentary

Social Distortion?s first ever vinyl box set, The Independent Years: 1983 - 2004, collects the band?s independent label releases from their rough and tumble punk rock beginnings to the roots rock sound that defined a generation. Includes Mommy?s Little Monster, Prison Bound, Sex, Love and Rock ?n? Roll and the compilation Mainliner (Wreckage From The Past) on unique colored vinyl, all in a collectable slipcase.

Social Distortion release their first vinyl box set. "The independent years: 1983 - 2004" contains the Independent label releases of the band in a neat slipcase. The box contains the following albums on coloured vinyl: 1) Mainliner (Wreckage From The Past) - transparent This collection of early singles and B sides (recorded circa 1983) also features the brilliant Stones cover "Under my thumb" and "1945" which is an all-time fan favourite

Social Distortion is the eponymous third studio album by the American punk rock band Social Distortion, released on March 27, 1990 through Epic Records, their first recording on that label. The album furthered the rockabilly, blues and country music experimentation of their previous album with songs like "Drug Train" and the radio hit "Ball and Chain". The focus on the alternative rock scene helped bring attention to Social Distortion

Any comments on the vinyl and pressing quality since this was pressed at Rainbo Records? Or any comments about the sound quality in general?
betelgeuze
Now that you spent some time with the box how did you like it sound quality wise?
Pipet
I just got mine today. I haven't listened to them yet (always clean first!) but it's their first vinyl boxset, completely sanctioned by Mike..i'm assuming it will sound amazing! Can't wait to drop the needle!
