Bad Brains is the self-titled debut studio album recorded by American hardcore punk/reggae band
Bad Brains. Recorded in 1981 and released on (then) cassette-only label ROIR on February 5, 1982, many fans refer to it as "The Yellow Tape" because of its yellow packaging. Though
Bad Brains had recorded the 16 song Black Dots album in 1979 and the 5-song Omega Sessions EP in 1980, the ROIR cassette was the band's first release of anything longer than a single.
This reissue marks the second release in the remaster campaign, re-launching the
Bad Brains Records label imprint. In coordination with the band, Org Music has overseen the restoration and remastering of the iconic
Bad Brains’ recordings. The audio was mastered by Dave Gardner at Infrasonic Mastering and pressed at Furnace Record Pressing.
