Originally released in 1981 on Clay Records, Why by Discharge is not just an album; it is a foundational pillar of hardcore punk. Following their debut, this EP showcased a faster, heavier, and more cynical approach to punk rock. The "D-Beat" drum style, named after this very band, originated here. Lyrically, the album delivers a harsh, anti-war message that remains painfully relevant today. This exclusive limited edition clear vinyl pressing offers a fresh aesthetic take on a classic, making it a must-have item for collectors and a perfect entry point for new fans of early 80s UK punk. This clear vinyl release is an exclusive limited edition item, making it highly desirable for collectors and fans of the band.
