Black Flag Everything Went Black SST 015 VG+/VG+
BLACK FLAG - EVERYTHING WENT BLACK
Explore the historical, unreleased foundations of West Coast hardcore punk with Everything Went Black by Black Flag. Serving as the legendary double-LP retrospective of the group's pre-Henry Rollins era, this archival document stands as a masterclass in songwriting variation, raw velocity, and independent band endurance. The comprehensive tracklist provides alternate versions of staple punk compositions, transitioning from the foundational Keith Morris-fronted takes of "Wasted" and "White Minority" to the aggressive Ron Reyes-led sessions, and closing with the heavy, dual-guitar structures fronted by Dez Cadena on "No More" and "Room 13." Documenting the band's technical evolution during a period of intense legal censorship, this compilation is an essential archival asset for any serious punk historian, independent rock archivist, or alternative music collector.
