Classic punk fans, get ready to empty your wallets. This week’s edition of Weekly Wax is full of reissues from the golden age of the Epitaph Records catalog, including early releases by Pennywise and Millencolin, as well as the first Punk-O-Rama compilation. That’s not all: Fat Wreck Chords also launched preorders for a box set containing the first three albums by California’s Strung Out.
If you’re too young to remember those genre-defining releases, you just might jump at the chance to finally own Good Charlotte‘s self-titled and The Young and the Hopeless on wax. The two albums are available now from Enjoy The Ride Records.
As always, this week saw news about quite a few other records, both familiar and new, to add to your collection, so check out the full roundup after the break.
