Really Red

REALLY RED was the backbone of Houston's underground from the early punk era clear through 80's hardcore. Like The Dicks in Austin, they directly challenged an insanely violent policed department at no small risk to their own lives. Their sound itself had more art and post-punk elements then most, with a musical and lyrical depth on par with bands like Mission of Burma, Wire, or Dead Kennedys. This collection presents the sound better then it has ever been, so hear them again for the first time - or the first time EVER. 

This THREE volume LP set has all been restored from the original tapes, then lovingly re-mastered by Jello Biafra, for the best all-around sound REALLY RED has ever had! 

Virus 454: "Volume 1: Teaching You The Fear" is the much loved first album that's been unavailable since Empty Records reissued it 10 years ago. More manic and locked-in then the early singles, this is REALLY RED in their prime; fired up and focused to lay down what they likely thought was their one shot to get it all on vinyl. 

Virus 455 "Volume 2: Rest In Pain" is at last, the long lost second album that hardly any of the REALLY RED fans back then knew existed! Unavailable for almost 30 years, now all tracks are restored for the first time ever, with vastly improved sound.  The Sound is fiercer and heavier, but still vintage REALLY RED. Now the damage of Reagan was now in everyone's face, and the music was the only thing about the 80's that didn't suck.

Virus 456 "Volume 3 "News Strings For Old Puppets" could be the best of the bunch! Here in one place are all the highly sought after REALLY RED 7"s, plus more from the early days that's never been released in ANY form until now. 

For CD buyers, Virus 457 "Teaching You The Fear: The Complete Collection 1978-1985" has it all here in one double-disc set. The classic "Teaching You The Fear" LP, the long-lost second album, "Rest In Pain", and plus all their sought-after 7"s, and some unreleased gems to boot.
