THE GERMS (GI) This record needs little introduction, so ours will be brief: produced by Joan Jett, (GI) is a seminal album not just in West Coast punk, but in punk rock, period, wellspring of the Darby Crash legend and start of the illustrious career of Pat Smear (Nirvana, Foo Fighters). Astonish- ingly, this album has been out of print on CD for years; our Real Gone reissue adds an unreleased bonus track selected by Pat Smear himself—the original album mix of “Caught in My Eye” from the (GI) sessions—and places the platter inside a 4-panel wallet featur- ing the original album graphics (including lyrics) with additional photos and new liner notes by Richie Unterberger. Your record col- lection isn’t one without the Germs.
