That’s right friends, everyone’s favorite band is back! On tap are dates with Pearl Jam in South and Central America as well as the now traditional X-Mas tour that will include the first punk rock show at the Santa Monica Civic Arena that we can remember in a long time. The Santa Monica show pairs the band with Social Distortion, and Adolescents! Tis the season to enjoy the finest punk rock that Los Angeles has ever nurtured.

X's fourth studio album "More Fun in the New World" has been resurrected with the full Prime Vinyl treatment. We have pulled the master tapes from the vaults, re-mastered the record to today's standards and studiously assembled all the original artwork and lyric sheets for this once in a lifetime experience. Some of the bands finest songs are contained on this album, including “Devil Doll”, “Poor Girl”, “Hot House” and the epic portrait of America in the Reagan era “I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts”.

This is a must for any true X fan and we deliver it the way it was meant to be enjoyed, on thick 180 gram vinyl. For those who wish to order on-line you can purchase the album direct from our Prime Vinyl store and we'll mail it out to you.

Wild Gift

Reviewing a record as revered as L.A.'s X's 1981 sophomore "Wild Gift" is at once a high honor and a daunting task. Out of print on vinyl for 15 years, this 180-gram reissue, housed in a dead-on reproduction of the original packaging, right down to the inner sleeve, improves upon the original by swapping the the compression of the Slash Records mix for a brighter, sharper sound. All the dynamic interplay between band members that made "Wild Gift" such a unique experience is clean and clear, and all the nuance buried in the old mix have been given new life without sacrificing an ounce of bite. My reissue pick of the year, already!

Under the Big Black Sun

The same adjectives utilized in describing that record can more than neatly be transferred to their re-release of X's third and most equally important record. It's an essential slice of American punk rock that begs constant re-discovery and constant adoration. My pick of the issue, again!

The Big Takeover
Issues No. 66/67

In keeping with the Prime Vinyl drive that seems to have defined Porterhouse Records lately, we have again brought you, the discerning punk rock collector, more Circle Jerks catalog to spin on your turntable. The Jerks' third and fourth studio albums "Golden Shower of Hits" and "Wonderful" have been committed to 180 Gram re-mastered awesomeness. Both packages feature original artwork and inner lyric sleeves. These albums have always been fan favorites, and are available in the Porterhouse record store right here at our site!

A collector's piece for fanatics... Porterhouse has released a stunning 12" picture disc of the Circle Jerks' debut release "Group Sex" and the band has signed an extremely limited number of the discs. Each one bears the signatures of the band's surviving members, Greg Hetson, Keith Morris and Lucky. The "slick" or picture in the record was signed by the guys and then sealed in the actual vinyl. This product is ONLY available through Aural Exploits, so hit this link and grab a piece of history while you can. There are less than 100 of these discs in existence!

For folks that want a regular "Group Sex" picture disc, just jump to our Record Store here at the site to order. You can also find it at your local music retailer or Amazon.com.
