140 gram LP with printed inner sleeve. Recorded in December 1983, Rattus' self titled LP was originally released in the USA and UK on the legendary Ratcage Records (responsible for introducing such names as the Beastie Boys or Agnostic Front to the world, to name but a few). This helped the band move from leading the hyper-active but very small early 80's Finnish Punk Rock scene to the status of underground cult worldwide, gaining the attention of artists like Pushead (who drew the cover of their following album) or the punk rock bible Maximum Rock And Roll. Consisting in older songs re-recorded along with a bunch of recently-conceived violent blasts, all in their Finnish mother-tongue, this is mandatory in any early punk rock collection!
