Wipers – Is This Real?
Only 1 left in stock
$26.00
Unquestionably Portland’s most well-loved punk group, THE WIPERS formed in the late 1970s and in 1980 released their debut LP, Is This Real?— twelve songs of stabbing, jittery guitar, snapped vocals, and unabashed teen angst. Full of desperation and yearning, the LP has stood as a blueprint for wretched youth for over 25 years. In the early 1990s Is This Real? was given mainstream attention when Nirvana covered two tracks off the record and Kurt Cobain announced it was one of the primary influences on his group. Remastered from original tapes as provided by GREG SAGE himself, the LP is pressed on audiophile grade vinyl and housed in a deluxe tip-on sleeve. Includes a printed insert that replicates the original innersleeve.
+ First time on vinyl in over 25 years + Limited Edition Vinyl Pressing + A primary influence on Nirvana, who often covered their songs + Remastered from original tapes + Full blessing/cooperation from Greg Sage + Sturdy, old-style tip on jacket and printed insert + One of the most passionate and influential punk records ever “What more can I say about them? They started Seattle grunge rock in Portland, 1977” – Kurt Cobain “Ten Records that Changed My Life”, Melody Maker 1992
