This is the self-titled, debut studio album recorded by American hardcore punk/reggae band BAD BRAINS. Recorded in 1981 and released on (then) cassette-only label ROIR on February 5, 1982, many fans refer to it as "The Yellow Record" because of its yellow packaging. This reissue marks the second release in the remaster campaign, re-launching the Bad Brains Records label imprint. This "Punk Note" edition comes with alternate packaging artwork from designer John Yates (Stealworks). The artwork is a nod to Reid Miles and Francis Wolff, and their amazing work at the Blue Note label.
