Bad Brains’ Iconic I Against I Album Gets Remastered Reissue
Bad Brains’ legendary third album, 1986’s I Against I, is getting reissued on vinyl, CD, cassette, and digital formats on July 26th via Org Music.
The landmark album combines elements of hardcore, funk, metal, punk, and reggae, and has been cited by many artists as a major influence. The title track has been covered by acts ranging from late singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley to extreme-metal veterans Lamb of God, while “House of Suffering” was famously covered by Sublime.
I Against I is the latest in a series of Bad Brains releases to get reissued. The audio has been remastered by Dave Gardner, chief mastering engineer at Infrasonic Los Angeles.
In addition to the standard reissue, a “Punk Note” edition of the vinyl is available with alternate package artwork from designer John Yates. There are also exclusive variants available via Zia Records, Newbury Comics, and other outlets.
