BORN AGAINST & SUCKERPUNCH - SPLIT FLEXI (EBULLITION RECORDS [BY-PRODUCT #10,000] 1991) [USA]

Born Against & Suckerpunch - Split FLEXI
(Ebullition Records – [By-Product #10,000], 1991) [USA]








A split 8" Flexi Disc release between Born Against and Suckerpunch. I absolutely love the spoken word piece here by Born Against (and I'm assuming written and spoken by Sam McPheeters, who always has a way with words). All time classic. As sad and maddening as it is, the spoken word piece is very timely and relevant today in 2024 as it was in 1991. Unfortunately.
