A reissue of this lost document from the Washington, DC punk underground, circa 1986-1987. Existing for only a short space of time, THE VILE CHERUBS came, confused, endeared, and powered out their homage to warped ‘60s garage psych in chaotic and unique style before imploding into the abyss, leaving an odd LP on Dischord Records and a mini legion of fans in their wake. This fourteen-track CD release collects the best of their studio recordings and adds five previously unreleased tracks (including rehearsal versions and a live Yardbirds cover), with liner notes, photos, a band history tree from then till now, and six mini handbill reproductions. Members of the Vile Cherubs have been in/currently reside in bands such as the NATION OF ULYSSES, CONCENTRICK, THE QUAILS, CIRCUS LUPUS, CAPITOL CITY DUSTERS, GOLDEN BEARS, THE FUCKING CHAMPS and more. This is a small slice of DC history which is worthy of staying in print for all willing ears. Packaged in Arigato-Paks (via Stumptown Printers in Portland, Oregon) and released in a hand-numbered edition of 1,000 copies.
