Alternative Tentacles Reissues 'Not So Quiet on the Western Front' Comp Featuring Dead Kennedys, 7 Seconds, Flipper

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Dec 17, 2012

Back in 1982, Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles and punk mag Maximum Rocknroll chronicled the burgeoning California and Nevada hardcore scenes with the mighty and monstrous Not So Quiet on the Western Front compilation, and now the 30-year-old set is getting spit-shined for a reissue in 2013.

The 47-song set will be back in print on double-vinyl and CD on January 22. The tracklisting remains intact, showcasing tunes from greats the Dead Kennedys, 7 Seconds, MDC, Flipper and more, but there are also some bonus goodies packaged within the tweaked-up set. A reprint of MRR #0 in newsprint format will be included, as will an MP3 download of the album.
