Rancid is a punk rock band that was formed in 1991 in Berkeley, California. The band was founded by Matt Freeman and Tim Armstrong, both of whom were former members of Operation Ivy and Downfall.

With their energetic sound and raw lyrics, Rancid quickly gained a loyal following in the punk scene. Their music combines elements of ska, reggae, and hardcore punk, creating a unique and distinctive sound.

Over the years, Rancid has released numerous critically acclaimed albums and has become one of the most influential punk bands of all time. With their powerful live performances and passionate dedication to their craft, Rancid continues to inspire generations of fans around the world.

Pirates Press is a full service broker that provides retail products in vinyl, CD, DVD, and merchandise to musicians and labels. They are known for their high-quality vinyl product which is pressed by GZ Media in the Czech Republic. Additionally, flexi discs are cut at GZ and pressed in San Francisco.

As a record label, Pirates Press Records offers a diverse range of music from talented artists. Their releases include vinyl records with 'Pirates Press' and a GZ catalogue number in the runouts. These records are manufactured by Pirates Press themselves.

For vinyl releases with a GZ Media matrix number on the record, a credit for "Pressed By" should be added. However, if the matrix number is lower than 115067E, then the credit should be given to GZ Digital Media instead.

Rancid is without question one of the most successful and influential punk bands ever, not to mention being among the most prolific. Their nonstop songwriting and marathon studio sessions often result in far too many songs to fit onto their albums. True Rancid fans know that in addition to their classic long players, many of their finest tracks have been released as single B-sides, bonus tracks, on compilations, or in some cases have remained in the band’s vault. That is why B sides and C sides is no mere throwaway record, but an essential part of this classic band’s catalog. The songs collected here represent a cross section of everything that has made this band so beloved worldwide, including their creative genre hopping from blazing punk rock to danceable ska, to reggae, rockabilly, and more, all executed with some of the most impressive playing in the history of underground music. The songs range from fan-favorites like “I Wanna Riot” to obscure hidden gems from rare or hard-to-find compilations, and a handful of studio recordings that were completely unreleased before this album, several coming from the fertile recording sessions for the band’s sprawling 1998 masterpiece Life Won’t Wait. Originally released on CD in 2007, most of the tracks range from the band’s early days through their sixth album, Indestructible, although the 2012 track “Fuck You,” from the Pirates Press Records compilation Oi! This is Streetpunk! Volume 2 was added to place a definitive final word on the collection when it was pressed on vinyl. With the album being out of print and hard to find in its own right for the past ten years, Pirates Press Records is thrilled to partner with our friends in Rancid to remedy that situation and make this essential piece of punk rock history available to their many fans across the globe - this time as an incredible double 12” with super deluxe coloured vinyl and matching sleeve art!
