Standard Black Vinyl Pressing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe first and only full-length album released before Mission Of Burma disbanded, \u003cem\u003eVS.\u003c\/em\u003e is one of the high points in American rock. Marrying straight-ahead punk, art-house experimentation, and intelligent songwriting, Mission Of Burma was one of the most important and influential of all punk rock bands, and this record displays it at its apex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAmong the best of this inspired collection of songs are \"Secrets,\" the kinetic album-opener that highlights Clint Conley's elastic bass playing and the virtuoso touches of Martin Swope's tape manipulations, and the deliberately paced \"Weatherbox.\" The latter features perhaps the best example in the band's catalogue of Roger Miller's patented spiky guitar and Swope's bizarre looping effects. There's also the relatively straight-forward \"That's How I Escaped My Certain Fate,\" and the jagged slashing chords of \"Forget,\" one of four bonus tracks added to the Ryko re-issue. Another of these bonus tracks, \"Progress,\" is an essential Burma piece, complete with breathless vocals, Peter Prescott's formidable drumming, and Miller's ringing guitar. If you own only one Mission Of Burma record, it ought to be this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e1 Secrets\u003cbr\u003e2 Train\u003cbr\u003e3 Trem Two\u003cbr\u003e4 New Nails\u003cbr\u003e5 Dead Pool\u003cbr\u003e6 Learn How\u003cbr\u003e7 Mica\u003cbr\u003e8 Weatherbox\u003cbr\u003e9 The Ballad of Johnny Burma\u003cbr\u003e10 Einstein S Day\u003cbr\u003e11 Fun World\u003cbr\u003e12 That S How I Escaped My Certain Fate\u003cbr\u003e13 Laugh the World Away\u003cbr\u003e14 Forget\u003cbr\u003e15 Progress\u003cbr\u003e16 Ok\/No Way\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matador","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42426605764808,"sku":"744861086819","price":30.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1337\/2616\/files\/1651317.jpg?v=1687915667","url":"https:\/\/1234gorecords.shop\/en-ca\/products\/mission-of-burma-vs-lp-re","provider":"1-2-3-4 Go!
