Face to Face - Don't Turn Away (New Vinyl LP)

Vinyl LP pressing. California punk rockers Face To Face kicked off their 25th anniversary year with a bang - reuniting with Fat Wreck Chords for their ninth album, Protection - and it's not over yet. After much critical acclaim for their new material and months of successful tour dates, the band ties a bow on their silver anniversary with the re-release of their first three albums (Don't Turn Away (1992), Big Choice (1995) and Face to Face (1996). The releases that originally put Face To Face on the map and established them up as a household name in the melodic punk world are now once again readably available. This time around each album has an expanded track list containing bonus songs from the original recording sessions. All three have also been remastered by Joe Gastwirt and boast enhanced artwork that incorporates silver details to denote the 25th anniversary. The band's sizable vinyl collecting contingent have reason to celebrate, as both Big Choice and Face to Face have been out of print since their original extremely limited pressings (Big Choice was actually never available to the buying public, only as a rare promotional item) and both will finally be available once again.
