Description
My eBay name is 'punky_music' and I'm a full-time record dealer since nearly 30 years
Superclean and very hard to find US pressing in tip-top condition, released in 1979. Old eBay prices: £88 + $98. A legendary all-time classic from California, home of BLACK FLAG, SOCIAL DISTORTION, CIRCLE JERKS, DILS and GERMS. This 7” model was released on the American label ‘Optional Music' (catalogue number OPT 2). The extremely good lyrics are printed on the inner side of the original fold-open sleeve. ‘California Über Alles’ is without any doubt one of the best punk songs ever made. The stomper on the flip named ‘Man With The Dogs’. In addition, here's the comment from the great FLEX website (US Hardcore / Punk discography):

Their first single turned out to be one of their greatest hits. This was also the start for their career in Europe because it got some airplay on UK punk radio and the band ended up selling about ten times as many copies in Europe than in the US. Smart and cynical punk on the edge of hardcore; one of the hottest 7”s before 1980; a classic.

Allererste DK-Single, gleich mit einem Hit auf der A-Seite; zynischer, kraftvoller Punk an der Schwelle zum Hardcore; wohl mit das Schärfste, das die Amis vor 1980 zu bieten hatten. B-Seite ist auch gut. Klassiker.
