{"product_id":"scratch-acid-s-t-ep-berserker","title":"Scratch Acid- S\/T EP \/ Berserker (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eReissue of both of Scratch Acid's EPs - S\/T EP (1984) and Berserker (1987) - remastered by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service from the original analog tapes. \r\n\r\nBorn out of the early 1980's Austin noise punk scene, Scratch Acid deliberately eschewed the loud, fast rules of hardcore as everything they didn't want to be and embraced a weirder, artier sound. \r\n\r\nPrior to the release of their 1984 debut S\/T EP, someone gave Touch and Go Records owner Corey Rusk a cassette of the recording, and he was instantly a huge fan. Rusk was immediately interested in releasing the EP and contacted the band to express his admiration. At the time, Scratch Acid had already committed to working with Rabid Cat Records. \r\n\r\nThe group quickly developed a riveting performance aesthetic, and, as the debut S\/T EP made it's way around the country via fanzines, college radio, and word-of-mouth, the band mounted short tours to the Midwest and the East Coast. While he was not able to work with Scratch Acid directly through Touch and Go, Rusk had begun booking shows with Scratch Acid in Detroit, so he could see them live and meet them. A friendship formed, and Touch and Go Records would eventually release the band's second EP, Berserker, in 1987.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCannibal (Remastered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Greatest Gift (Remastered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Monsters (Remastered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Owner's Lament (Remastered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e She Said (Remastered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mess (Remastered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e El Espectro (Remastered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lay Screaming (Remastered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mary Had A Little Drug Problem (Remastered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e For Crying Out Loud (Remastered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Moron's Moron (Remastered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Skin Drips (Remastered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e This Is Bliss (Remastered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Flying Houses (Remastered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e UPC \u0026gt; 036172107919 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Format \u0026gt; New Vinyl \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Label \u0026gt; Touch \u0026amp; Go Records \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Release Date \u0026gt; Release Date: 8.22.25 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46525197615325,"sku":"036172107919","price":200.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4437615-3408425.jpg?v=1750969595","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/products\/scratch-acid-s-t-ep-berserker","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
