M.I.A. - Murder In A Foreign Place - Blue [VINYL LP] Blue, Colored Vinyl, With Booklet, Anniversary Ed date 06/27/2025

Originally released in 1969 in a quantity so low that it was once rumored to not even exist (seriously). While groups like The Holy Modal Rounders were turning traditional American folk on it's head in the states throughout the 60s, The Maglory Dengluch's approach took influence from the Scottish and Irish. Armed with banjos, tin whistles, kazoos, and jugs they recorded the now infamous album to tape. Officially released for the first time since the storied 99-copy, 1969 run on the long defunct Granta tag and includes exhaustive new liner notes from the band and a download card with the entire album as well as five bonus tracks recorded during the same session.1.

*AVAILABLE ON LIMITED BLOOD RED VINYL!!! Formed in Las Vegas in 1980, M.I.A. moved to Orange County in 1981 and started playing shows at the infamous Cuckoo's Nest. They first appeared on the classic Last Rites for Genocide and M.I.A. split LP (Smoke Seven) in 1982. After a short break, the band got back together in 1983 and recorded a six-song demo at Greencarton studios in November. They quickly became known for their energetic live shows, blending fast, guitar-driven hardcore with singer Mike Conley's unique melodic voice and the trademark Southern Californian punk sound. After a show with the Dead Kennedys, Jello Biafra offered to their next album, Murder In a Foreign Place on his Alternative Tentacles tag in the summer of 1984.  InchIn the final days of December 1983, M.I.A. played a show in Las Vegas supporting the Dead Kennedys,Inch Guitarist & vocalist Nick Adams recalls, InchIt was one of those underground DIY shows, in a dark warehouse space with a wall broken out to make it bigger, the result of kids willing to do just about anything to be with their friends and hear the music they loved. It was nearly broken up by the police (the Butthole Surfers were not allowed to play) but the Dead Kennedys got to do their set. M.I.A. had made an impression, though, and Jello Biafra offered to  M.I.A.'s next album on his tag Alternative Tentacles. The record was also done in DIY fashion, with the band self-producing the resulting album.Inch The band went on to two more records, Notes From the Underground (National Trust 1985) and After the Fact (Flipside 1987), re-issued as a 2 LP set in 2023 by French tag Modern City. Sadly, singer Mike Conley passed away in 2008 following a tragic accident; but original members Nick Adams (guitar, vocals), Paul Schwartz (bass, vocals) and Larz Pearson (drums) perform as a three piece. Now to mark the album's 40th anniversary, Alt
