Dead Kennedys - Frankenchrist LP
Label: Alternative Tentacles – Virus 45
Release Year: 1985
Genre: Punk Rock, Hardcore Punk
Condition: EX/EX (Vinyl/ Sleeve)
Description:
Released in 1985, Frankenchrist is a groundbreaking punk rock album by Dead Kennedys, known for pushing the boundaries of the genre both musically and politically. This album, their third studio release, showcases Jello Biafra’s provocative lyrics that take on social and political issues with an aggressive wit. The LP is widely remembered for its controversial insert, “Penis Landscape” by artist H.R. Giger, which led to a high-profile obscenity trial that almost saw the band members imprisoned. This original Alternative Tentacles pressing captures the band at its peak, blending hardcore punk energy with a more experimental sound that hints at surf rock and even psychedelic influences.
Notable Tracks:
• “Soup Is Good Food” – An anti-corporate anthem highlighting themes of exploitation and dehumanization in the workplace.
• “Jock-O-Rama (Invasion of the Beef Patrol)” – A sharp satire on American sports culture.
• “MTV – Get off the Air” – A scathing critique of MTV’s impact on music and culture.
Condition Details:
• Vinyl: EX – The vinyl is in excellent condition, with no visible scratches or scuffs, maintaining a clear and sharp sound quality.
• Sleeve: EX – The sleeve is also in excellent shape, with only minor shelf wear, and the colors and text are vibrant. (Check to confirm if this specific copy includes the Giger insert, which is highly sought after).
