***GROSSEST NATIONAL PRODUCT (GNP) formed in 1982 in Birmingham, Alabama and were one of the state’s first hardcore punk bands, playing garage-y thrash with lyrics inspired by the comedic acidity of the Ramones or Dead Kennedys. Classic 1980’s teenage thrash, the band was a constant, encouraging presence in the Birmingham punk scene for nearly three decades, opening shows for the Meat Puppets, GBH, Life Sentance, Maggot Sandwich, The Accused and many more.A wild cast of hilarious characters, the band rarely left the city limits, even less often the state and left few recordings, but tracked a classic demo tape in 1985 featuring some of their best songs “Reggie’s a Veggie”, “Ready To Ralph”, “Rabid Lassie”. The demo is presented in its entirety, pre-mastered by WILL KILLINGSWORTH at Dead Air studios with vinyl mastering by ANNE-MARIE SUENRAM. Packaged with photos and flyers from the band's first three years, and an additional lyric sheet insert with extensive liner notes and band history from guitarist CHRIS HENDRIX. Pressed on colored vinyl at RTI.
