Digitally remastered and expanded edition. Sonic Youth's eponymous debut 12-inch was recorded in late 1981 at Radio City Music Hall in NYC and originally released on composer Glenn Branca's Neutral tag. The album is loosely based on compositions the newly formed group had performed at that year's week-long Noise fest event (and remains the only recorded document of an early line-up featuring actor Richard Edson on drums). Back in print on CD, the Goofin' Records edition also features extra live material from a 1981 gig and an outtake from a early studio session. InchWe wanted it to sound like PIL who we were into. It didn't but we were lucky it came out sounding like a record. We did it in two eight-hour sessions at a studio at Radio City Music Hall called Plaza Sound. The janitor let US in the back door.Inch

Reissue of this album by the Alt-Rock icons. The third studio album by Sonic Youth, originally released in May 1986 on SST Records, shows the first signs that the band was ready to transform their no wave past into a greater Alternative Rock sensibility. InchEvol... marks the true departure point of Sonic Youth's musical evolution,Inch says Pitchfork, who place the album in the #31 slot of their Top 100 Albums of The 1980s. InchIn measured increments, Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo... bring form to the formless, tune to the tuneless, and with the help of Steve Shelley's drums..., [impose] melody and composition on their trademark dissonance.”
