• Track Listing

2015 two CD collection from the legendary Texas punks. Really Red was the backbone of Houston's underground from the early punk era clear through '80s hardcore. Like the Dicks in Austin, they directly challenged an insanely violent police department at no small risk to their own lives. Their sound itself incorporated art and post-punk elements, with a musical and lyrical depth on par with bands like Mission of Burma, Wire, or Dead Kennedys. This collection presents the sound better then it has ever been, so hear them again for the first time-or the first time ever. TEACHING YOU THE FEAR: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION 1978-1985 has it all in one double-disc set: The classic TEACHING YOU THE FEAR LP, the long-lost second album, REST IN PAIN, all their sought-after 7-inches, and some unreleased gems to boot. It comes with full history and liner notes via Bond's extensive interview with David Ensminger (Left of the Dial). Restored from the original tapes, lovingly re-mastered by Jello Biafra, this is the best all-around sound Really Red has ever had!
