Up for auction is the rare infamous Original 1983 Punk LP "Into The Unknown" by Bad Religion on Epitaph Records #EPI-BRLP2. Visually graded using Goldmine standards, the vinyl rates a VG++ with excellent shine and extremely light surface wear. The jacket is also VG++ with no splits and very light surface wear. There is no insert. A beautiful copy!!! Low starting bid and $75 reserve. I don't like to put reserves, but would rather keep this than see it go for less than $75. Please see my other auctions for other rare records.
Into the Unknown is the second studio album by Bad Religion, which was released in 1983. The album marks a distinct departure from the band's previous album; instead of featuring hardcore punk, the album is characterized by slower tempos, use of electric organ and pianos, and a prog-influenced hard rock sound.
Into the Unknown proved to be the band's most controversial release; despite favorable reviews from music critics, it was a commercial failure upon initial release, and was characterized as a "misstep" by guitarist Brett Gurewitz. It was not reissued in any format until 2010, when it was issued on vinyl as part of the box set 30 Years of Bad Religion.
It has never been issued on compact disc.
Greg Graffin recalls that the band only performed material from this album once when it was released; when Bad Religion premiered the material live, poor word of mouth alienated fans, and only 12 people turned out for the concert, because fans had learned that the band was going to bring keyboards on stage; the poor turnout for this performance convinced the band not to bring keyboards on tour with them, and to return to its hardcore punk sound. In October 2010, the band performed "Billy Gnosis", the first time in 27 years that Bad Religion had performed any songs from the album in concert. In December, the band released the vinyl box set 30 Years of Bad Religion, which reissued all 15 of the band's LPs, including Into the Unknown. The band's website offers commentaries from Greg Graffin and Brett Gurewitz.
