Violent Femmes – Violent Femmes (Vinyl LP, 1983, Slash 1-23845, Pink/Black/Beige Labels)

Why This Record Matters
Violent Femmes’ 1983 debut established the Milwaukee trio’s distinctive combination of acoustic instrumentation, punk attitude, and Gordon Gano’s songwriting. The album introduced enduring songs including “Blister In The Sun,” “Kiss Off,” “Add It Up,” and “Gone Daddy Gone.” Its audience continued growing well beyond its original release period, with the album remaining commercially active years after its debut.

Collector Note
This 1983 U.S. Slash Records edition uses the early pink, black, and beige label design rather than the stock Slash labels found on later pressings. The supplied runouts include Greg Lee Processing numbers L-13107 and L-13107-X, matching this edition. This copy also includes its confirmed original printed inner sleeve.
