Rancid is without question one of the most successful and influential punk bands of all time, not to mention being among the most prolific. Their catalog of legendary studio LPs on Epitaph Records - one of the world’s most respected independent labels - as well as Tim Armstrong’s imprint Hellcat Records, need no introduction; each stands alone as a milestone of modern punk.
What fewer fans may be familiar with, however, is the number of classic songs that the band have released over the years as single B-sides, bonus tracks, or on compilations. There is even a treasure trove of unreleased material in the band’s vaults, just waiting to be discovered.
B sides and C sides then, is a truly essential part of the band’s catalog. The songs collected here represent a cross section of everything that has made this band so beloved worldwide, including their creative genre hopping from blazing punk rock to danceable ska, to reggae, rockabilly, and more, all executed with some of the most impressive playing in the history of underground music.
The songs range from fan-favorites like “I Wanna Riot” to obscure hidden gems from rare or hard-to-find compilations, and a handful of studio recordings that were completely unreleased before this album. Originally released on CD in 2007, it has seen a handful of limited vinyl releases in the ensuing years. A re-press earlier in 2024 - at which point the album had been out of print for 10 years - sold out within hours, showing just how in-demand these recordings are among the band’s many worldwide fans.
Pirates Press Records is thrilled to partner with our friends in Rancid to meet the continuing demand for this essential piece of punk rock history! This incredible new pressing on double 12” features GLOW-IN-THE-DARK vinyl and packaging. Limited to 1,000 copies and only available via the Pirates Press webstore and Coretex.
