D.R.I.- Dirty rotten ep (Dirty Rotten Records) 1983
CLASSIC American hardcore!! Self-released in 1983 as a 7″, this was also re-released a year later as a 12″ on R radical records from San Francisco(where D.R.I. eventually moved to). They originally called themselves U.S.D.R.I. but shortend it soon after. This is easily one of the top 10 early/influetial thrash records to come from the U.S. For a ton more history and discographies (including the crossover and metal years) check HERE and HERE and HERE

yup,yup good stuff,no what great stuff!!!thanx
stinko!
Of course, an absolute classic! Blew me away when I first got into hardcore, and still does the job today. Just raw, primal thrash before the metal crap crept in. Heard a rumour that when MINOR THREAT played Texas, DRI tried to sell Ian MacKaye this 7″, but he refused to buy it thinking a 7″ with so many tracks had to be rotten (sorry!) For some reason I always played the B side first. Maybe ‘cos the 12″ version’s labels were the other way about. Sounds wierd the other way around!!
Can you get anymore classic than this?! The best tunes DRI ever did are on the fist couple of albums. Brings back memories.
Aaargh, 22 songs on a 7″, what a bomb. From what i’ve heard by some older pals of mine, this record all blew them away… wish i was born 10 years before.
…and basically this is what you heard if you saw them live back then, non-stop song after song after song. anyone left dancing was practically on their hands & knees gasping for air by the end.
I haven’t listended to this in a long time. It still sounds just as good now as it did the first time around
I got to see them in their heyday on this tour (Dirty Rotten EP) and they were intense! The later Dealing With It tours were also awesome.
Can someone put the songs bacck online, please ?
Seriousley, I’m dying here, please, please, please put these songs online!
one of the best release`s of all time
FIX THE LINKS! This is the only place I could find this with out having to dish out an arm and a leg to get it.
all of the doanloads have been taken down.
please put them back up and tell us when they are put back up?
