DEAD KENNEDYS Covers LP Alternative Tentacles Virus 100 Cover LP Vinyl Rare Test Press/ Advance Copy White Label + Press One Sheet  

Majorly Rare and given to me by someone I knew at Alt Tentacles London UK, is this original/ first advanced white label vinyl  test pressing of the 10th anniversary of Alternative Tentacles Virus 100 LP. The Album comes has a one sheet cover which gives all promo details, the line up and some small but original artwork by Winston Smith.

Virus 100 is a covers compilation album released by Alternative Tentacles. Featuring cover versions of Dead Kennedys songs performed by various artists, the album celebrates the record label's 100th release and its 10th anniversary.

In 1992, Jello Biafra-founded record label, Alternative Tentacles, released its 100th album. Wanting to do something special for such a momentous occasion, they decided to release a tribute album of fifteen Dead Kennedys  songs by sixteen different (mostly in-house) artists. "Let's Lynch the Landlord" is covered by both Faith No More and L7. Musical styles on the album vary from the hip hop of The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy's "California Über Alles" to the a cappella version of  NoMeansNo "Forward to Death."

Bradley Torreano called the album "a fitting tribute to an underrated band and serves as an excellent introduction to their music." Torreano added that The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy's version of "California Uber Alles" is an "amazing remake" and the album's "most interesting turn." Brandon Sideleau of Punknews.org said, "while not all the songs on this self-appointed tribute from Alternative Tentacles live up to their masterpiece counterparts, it still ranks as easily one of the best tribute albums of all time."The A.V. Club stated: "Solipsism aside, the disc succeeds: Everyone from Neurosis and Napalm Death to Mojo Nixon and L7 contribute renditions of DK's manic, twangy, hardcore anthems.

Leave it to Jello Biafra -- he is the only one who could get away with putting together a tribute to his label and his band (the Dead Kennedys) and not come off as egotistical. Actually, Virus 100 is a fitting tribute to an era of punk rock that is long gone. The participants are not afraid to put their own unique stamp on the songs that they cover, and it emphasizes the widespread influence of Biafra's musical vision. NoMeansNo  put in an a cappella version of "Forward to Death" that needs to be heard to be believed. Napalm Death rages through "Nazi Punks Fuck Off," but despite being one of the fastest bands on earth, they do not beat the original version's one-minute time frame. Faith No More turns "Let's Lynch the Landlord" into lounge jazz, Mojo Nixon turns "Winnebago Warrior" into country, and Kramer even turns "Insight" into chamber music! All of these efforts are very good, but the most interesting turn is the Disposable Heroes of Hipoprisy's amazing remake of "California Uber Alles." Already one of the strongest numbers in the Kennedys' book, rapper Michael Franti updates the song for California governor Pete Wilson, twisting the hardcore anthem into a Public Enemy-style affair. Elsewhere, Alice Donut, Sepultura  Neurosis, the Didjits and Steel Pole Bath Tub put in respectable, faithful renditions of Kennedys classics. Only L7's uninspired take on "Let's Lynch the Landlord and Victims Family’s  dull "Ill in the Head" drag the album down, and they are easily forgotten when held against the rest of the album. This is a fitting tribute to an underrated band and serves as an excellent introduction to their music.
