Body Count is an American metal band formed in 1990 in Los Angeles, California. The band was founded by rapper Ice-T and guitarist Ernie C. With Ice-T on vocals and Ernie C on lead guitars, Body Count has been a prominent figure in the metal scene since their inception.

The original lineup of the band included Victor Ray Wilson on drums, Lloyd Roberts on bass, and D-Roc the Executioner as a second vocalist. However, tragedy struck when three members of the original lineup passed away: Victor Ray Wilson in 1996, Lloyd Roberts in 2001, and D-Roc the Executioner in 2004.

Despite these losses, Body Count persevered with various lineup changes over the years. Notable members include rhythm guitarists Bendrix (1990-2004), Juan of the Dead (2004-2006), and Vincent Price (2013-present), as well as bassists Mooseman (1997-2001) and Vincent Price (2001-present).

Warner Bros. Records, founded in 1958 by Jack Warner, started as a soundtrack factory for Warner Bros. movie studios. Over the years, it has evolved into a renowned label with subsidiary labels like Reprise Records, Sire Records, Maverick Records, Warner Nashville, Warner Jazz, Warner Western, and Word Label Group. With more than 60 years of experience in the industry and an impressive roster of artists across various genres, Warner Bros. has become a leading name in the music world.

The label has used several pressing facilities including *Capitol Records* and *Columbia Pressings*. Throughout its history, Warner Bros. has had different label designs for mono LPs and stereo LPs. From grey labels with black WB Shield to gold labels with Vitaphonic Long Play or Stereo wording at the bottom; from green labels featuring the W7 logo to palm trees labels without any address mentioned; and finally transitioning to tan labels with narrow horizontal lines before settling on white labels with large WB shield and ghosted gray shields floating in the background since 1983.

To determine first pressings of US LPs on this label, collectors can look out for specific details such as color variations on the label design or Saul Bass W logo on sleeves introduced after 1975. The presence or absence of certain addresses on palm trees labels also helps identify different pressings over time.

Vinyl repress of the debut Body Count album from 1992. The albums material focuses on various social and political issues ranging from police brutality to drug abuse. The album presented a turning point in the career of Ice T, who co-wrote the album's songs with lead guitarist Ernie C and performed as the band's lead singer. Previously known only as a rapper, Ice-T's work with the band helped establish a crossover audience with rock music fans.
