ARE YOU READY: THE FIRST STUDIO RECORDING (Inner Ear - March 1979) comes to vinyl, cassette and digital on November 6th. Captured in a single frantic hour at Inner Ear Studios in March 1979, the six-song session represents the earliest known studio recordings of the band.
Newly mixed by Ian MacKaye. Mastered by Pete Lyman at Infrasonic. Artwork contributions by Darryl Jenifer. 45 RPM 12” with a double-sided insert with rarely seen images from the Bad Brains archive and liner notes by Alec MacKaye.
The first track from the release, the previously unreleased original studio recording of “Pay to C*m,” is now available to stream.”
