Jackpot Records, started in 2004, operates as a reissue label featuring albums and bands that have been seminal within their respective genres as well as interesting new releases of various genres. Care is paid to giving each album the most authentic and true-to-form representation, with all recordings taken from the original master tapes whenever possible.

Jackpot Records began in 1997 in Portland, Oregon as an independent retailer set on getting music into the hands and ears of the people who love it. Opened by owner Isaac Slusarenko, Jackpot Records was founded on the idea that the music matters, offering a wide selection of both new and used CDs, LPs, DVDs and other collectibles. In 2001, a second location was opened in downtown Portland.

Jackpot Records enjoys giving back to the community that supports it by offering free, all ages in-store performances, signings and meet-n-greets, as well as an annual film festival that centers on music-related cinema.

Poison Idea is a punk rock band that was formed in 1980 in Portland, Oregon. Led by vocalist Jerry A., the band quickly established a solid lineup and drew inspiration from influential bands like the Germs and Black Flag. Known for their raw and angry hardcore sound, Poison Idea pushed the boundaries of contemporary punk rock with their intense music influenced by bands such as Discharge and SOA.

Throughout their career, Poison Idea underwent several lineup changes but continued to deliver powerful music. In 1986, they released the Kings of Punk LP, showcasing a shift towards a more driving, Motorhead-influenced sound without losing any of their intensity or nihilism. Despite facing challenges with record companies and distributors, the band persevered by starting their own label called American Leather.

In 1990, Poison Idea achieved critical acclaim with the release of Feel the Darkness LP, successfully blending elements of hardcore and hard rock to create a dark and powerful sound. Over the years, they released numerous records including full-length albums, EPs, and cover collections before disbanding in 2017.

Not only the greatest Poison Idea record, but the greatest punk album of all time! Formed in Portland, OR in 1980, Poison Idea debut record features 13 songs in 13 minutes.
