LEGAL WEAPON "Death of Innocence" LP (Yellow Vinyl)

Pioneering LA punk band Legal Weapon was formed in 1980 from the ashes of the Silencers, which Steve Reiner formed with guitarist Brian Hansen, and vocalist Kat Arthur. By the time of this riveting 1982 debut LP, the band had Arthur, Hansen, future Adolescents/Agent Orange bassist Steve Soto, and drummer Charlie Vartanian. Just as Exene Cervenka was a primary draw in X and Penelope Houston in the Avengers, Kat Arthur is the major lure that kept this band outstanding, as Hansen and Soto vary the musical action, keeping their hardcore on the melodic side throughout. Essential listening for west coast punk fans.
2022 release from Radiation Reissues (Italy). Includes a gatefold poster with an unreleased photo of Kat Arthur by Alison Braun. Contains insert with lyrics. Yellow vinyl, limited to 500 copies. Imported.
