Sonic Youth's eponymous, debut 12" was recorded in late 1981 at Plaza Sound at Radio City Music Hall in NYC and originally released on composer Glenn Branca's Neutral label. This remastered and expanded, 2xLP reissue includes the self-titled, debut record plus live material from '81 and a track from a previously unheard studio session (and remains the only recorded document of an early line-up featuring actor Richard Edson on drums). Includes liner notes by original Sonic Youth drummer Richard Edson, Glenn Branca, and Byron Coley. Now available again on vinyl.
