***BACK IN STOCK!!! Bikini Kill Records is excited to announce its first release on compact disc! The First Two Records compiles Bikini Kill’s recently reissued self-titled and Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah LPs. The self-titled 12-inch, originally released in the fall of 1992 and reissued on Bikini Kill Records in 2012, is comprised of four songs recorded by Ian MacKaye at Inner Ear Studios; one song from the band’s 1991 demo cassette recorded by Pat Maley (Yo-Yo Studios); and one song recorded during Bikini Kill’s live performance April 4th, 1992, at Washington, DC’s Sanctuary Theater. Side A of Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah was originally released in 1993 as the Bikini Kill side of their split record with the UK’s Huggy Bear, to kick off their legendary co-headlining tour of the UK in March of that year. Those tracks were recorded in their Washington, DC, basement practice space on a four-track reel-to-reel in 1992 by Tim Green (Nation of Ulysses, The Fucking Champs). Side B featured seven previously unreleased songs that were either recorded live at shows during that era or at Bikini Kill practices. These tracks are released on CD for the first time.
