Today is the 40th anniversary of the Circle Jerks‘ debut LP Group Sex. This seminal album is a mainstay in punk history, and still one of my favorites to this day.
To celebrate this, Trust Records has announced a deluxe reissue of the album, which is due out 30 Oct 2020. The album will be remastered, and will also feature bonus tracks from a 1980 rehearsal session, as well as extra materials.
You can check out the trailer for the reissue, and the full track-listing, below. If you’re keen, you can preorder the album and a wide range of merch here.
