The Rats - In A Desperate Red (Red Vinyl Version)
At last! Fred and Toody Cole and drummer Louis Samora's ultimate punk masterpiece This is the last record by the Portland punk legends before Fred and Toody moving on to Dead Moon. In fact, two songs from the first Dead Moon LP hail from the same session as this LP. IN A DESPERATE RED combines garage rock, new wave and art punk...just picture a more punk version of Dead Moon if you can. 6 years of work went into remixing and remastering this version - with Fred Cole twisting knobs and obsessing over it's every detail. One of Fred Cole's greatest records and impossible to find for many years - at last this LP is available as it was meant to be heard. Play it loud....
First Pressing includes a 40 page booklet. Filled with fliers, photos and an interview with Fred, Toody and Louis.
