{"product_id":"didjits-strictly-dynamite-the-best-of-didjits-purple","title":"Didjits- Strictly Dynamite: The Best of Didjits - Purple ( Vinyl )","description":"\u003cp\u003eDidjits combined a love of hard rock (AC\/DC, Black Sabbath, Cheap Trick), punk (Sex Pistols and, importantly, the metallic art show of The Plasmatics), and fifties rock and roll (specifically Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard) into a brand that was, as Dexter Holland from the Offspring correctly describes, \"a teetering train about to go off the rails\". Chaotic live shows would have guitarist and vocalist Rick Sims skillfully turning the audience against him, adding to the frenzy of the stop-on-a-dime crazed rock that they were slowly perfecting. Early Didjits supporter Jello Biafra would marvel at their ability to alienate the audience of gathered stock punks yet still leaving them slack jawed and hearing impaired. \r\n\r\nStarting in 1988, Didjits released five full-length albums on Touch and Go Records (including a reissue of their 1986 self-released debut album, Fizzjob) along with two singles and an EP. MTV videos, sold out clubs, tours of Europe and North America followed - ending in 1994 (ironically the same year The Offspring released the platinum selling Smash containing a cover of \"Killboy Powerhead\" from Didjits 1990 release Hornet Pinata). \r\n\r\nPressed on 180-gram opaque purple vinyl, this LP is an archival legacy of the band from their beginnings in rural Illinois to their dissolution over a decade later. The tracks selected compile 17 fan favorites from Didjits' Touch and Go discography on a single LP.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKillboy Powderhead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Max Wedge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Stingray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Captain Ahab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Plate in My Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gold Eldorado\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mama Had a Skull Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Under the Christmas Fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Evel Knievel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fire in the Hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Who's Ready to Get High\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jerry Lee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Headless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Top Fuel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pet Funeral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Joliet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Que Sirhan Sirhan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e UPC \u0026gt; 036172106882 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Format \u0026gt; New Vinyl \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Label \u0026gt; Touch \u0026amp; Go Records \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Release Date \u0026gt; Release Date: 10.03.25 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57420586680655,"sku":"036172106882","price":3.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/8725\/2047\/files\/4449097-3430317.jpg?v=1775626307","url":"https:\/\/vibesvinyl.com\/products\/didjits-strictly-dynamite-the-best-of-didjits-purple","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
