I had an original CD Presents 1983 edition of this I sold a couple years back.  I was introduced to DOA by my first hardcore record Let Them Eat Jellybeans which had "The Prisoner."  I bought this used around 1986 in Worcester.  This copy was given to me in a box of records on consignment 4 years ago.  Kind of a weird title to be on picture disc but it was on a reissue label in their home country.

I remember getting shut out when DOA played Worcester at Ricks in the mid-80's due to my underageness.  Somehow I managed to never see them until a couple years ago at Brooklyn Bazaar.  Looking at the set list 8 out of 17 tracks made that show including a "modern" retitle of Fucked Up Ronnie that is soon to expire.

Vancouver, where they are from, is so close to the US it was part of any tour circuit for many years, until tighter clampdowns happened.  My own band Saint Bastard did the sneak sneak with a rental car from Portland, to play at a punk club for 10 people then sleep in a cold squat where the resident wanted to know who the fuck we were when we got there, and then sent us to sleep on a basement floor covered in dogshit.  We were rewarded with a $5 charge back into the US for "importing textiles" i.e. homemade silk screened t-shirts. 

So back to D.O.A., this and the War on 45 are the peak period of this band, after that they got a little more cretinous.  I'd probably like those albums more today.  You can't go wrong with "Fuck You" unless you are a teenage DJ wanting to tempt fate with the toggle switch.

I censored responsibly in the Reagan era.
