SONIC YOUTH Rather Ripped (2006 UK issue 12-track vinyl LP, all these years down the line and the classic Youth line-up of Moore, Gordon, Ranaldo & Shelley still bristle and burn with an intensity that other bands would happily sacrifice a drummer for! Recorded at the tail-end of 2005 and the early days of 2006 in the band's home studio, J Mascis's house and New York's Sear Sound & Hoboken's Water Music Studios, this features alternate unique cover artwork by artist Christopher Wool -the sleeve shows light shelfwear and the vinyl is excellent with only minor signs of play GOOFIN11LP)
