The Germs / Lexicon Devil
(7″ Vinyl – Slash Records)
First wave Los Angeles punk rock royalty THE GERMS need no introduction to anyone.
Written by lead vocalist, Darby Crash, Lexicon Devil was the band’s second single and first ever release for the notorious Slash label. The band’s second record came about when the publishers of the punk zine Slash agreed with the Germs to release an EP on their newly formed record label. It was the debut output of Slash Records, and of Geza X both as a producer and as a recording engineer.
Considered a classic in punk rock history and is often cited as a key example of the raw, energetic, and rebellious spirit of the early punk movement. Despite Germs’ short-lived career, they continue to be acknowledged and celebrated for playing a key role in shaping punk music.
This reissue is replicating the original 1978 version. This edition will be made available in the same four sleeve color variations as the original with matching colored vinyl (in red, pink, yellow and orange with each color being limited to 500 for a grand total of 2000 copies). On this reissue the lyrics are printed on the inner sleeve as opposed to other side of the sleeve like on the original.
