The hardest core punk band from San Francisco, Flipper, came to New York City's CBGB's in November 1983 to play live and record a new release specifically for ROIR cassettes at CBGB's brand new in-house sixteen track recording studio.

"I love 'em. You may hate them - and that's the way Flipper planned it" - Christgau's Record Guide (80's)

"What a treat to get hardcore that gives a fuck! These lengthy jams really do sound like the Dead going punkoid." - New Musical Express UK

"They pulsed with a strange noise like the underside of the city. Other bands will come along and try to claim their turf - but only the guys in Flipper could be the biggest bunch of fuck-ups in the world, and get it right! In our city (San Francisco) the band was followed with a certain fierce pride. They were naturally outrageous rather than chic and their music impartially combined majestic ideas with silly ones." - Rolling Stone
