40th anniversary reissue. Includes 7 bonus tracks with Chuck Biscuits, and a 12 page booklet. In 1982, D.O.A was ready to record a new album on the heels of their first two albums: Something Better Change and Hardcore 81, which are still musical landmarks to this day. But their legendary line up had changed, as Randy Rampage was ousted from the band. Chuck Biscuits older brother Dimwit stepped in on bass with Chuck still on drums, Joey Shithead on vocals and guitar and Dave Gregg on guitar. While this line up only lasted three months, D.O.A. traveled to LA and recorded demos at Mystic Studios. Eventually Chuck quit, Dimwit took over on drums and Wimpy Roy became the bassist. So as grand way of celebrating the 40th anniversary of War On 45, it is reissued here with bonus material. Firstly there is a 12 page booklet of unique photos, posters and an extensive history of D.O.A. at the time, written by Canada's godfather of punk, Joey Shithead. All 8 tracks from the 1982 release are on side A of the album, and Side B has all the pre War war on 45 demos. So you have the Montgomery Brothers, Biscuits and Dimwit, two of the greatest drummers of all time, on the same LP. Side A - Original 1982 release 1. Liar For Hire 2. I'm Right, You're Wrong 3.
