Dead Kennedys In God We Trust, Inc. 1981 UK 1st Press 12" EP VG+/VG+

DEAD KENNEDYS - IN GOD WE TRUST, INC.

1981 UK first press of 12" EP

Released in December 1981, In God We Trust, Inc. stands as Dead Kennedys’ explosive, hyper-speed response to the rise of the Religious Right and the election of Ronald Reagan. Recorded live in the studio in a single day after their original master tapes were ruined by tape oxide shedding, the 8-track, 14-minute EP captures the band at their rawest, most relentless hardcore tempo. Featuring devastating tracks like "Moral Majority," "Nazi Punks Fuck Off!," and their warp-speed reinterpretation of "Rawhide," this original UK Statik Records 12" pressing delivered maximum sonic impact across Europe, instantly establishing itself as a foundational masterpiece of 1980s political hardcore.

1981 UK import/release by Statik Records (STAT EP2) and Alternative Tentacles (VIRUS 5).  First pressing of 12" EP (plays at 45 RPM).  Made in France.
