NOFX – E Is For Everything (1989 - Cassette, Compilation)
NOFX's "E Is For Everything" cassette, a compilation released in 1989, offers a comprehensive snapshot of the band's early years. Recorded at Studio 9 and Mystic Studios in Hollywood between 1984 and 1988, it features tracks spanning from various releases. The first seven tracks hail from the 1985 EP "NOFX," followed by tracks 10 to 17 from "So What If We're On Mystic!" released in 1986, and tracks 8, 9, and 18 to 22 from the 1988 LP simply titled "The Album."
Re-released in 1992 as "Maximum Rocknroll," this compilation showcases NOFX's evolution as veteran pop-punk standard bearers since their inception in 1983. Influenced by California punk, particularly the Descendents and the Germs, the album embodies the raw energy of their youth. While lacking the harmonies and genre explorations of later works, hints of their future direction can be detected. Despite most songs clocking in under two minutes, their trademark humor shines through, evident in tracks like “Six Pack Girls,” “Cops and Do Nuts,” and their rendition of Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man.”
The cassette's media condition is Near Mint (NM or M-) and has been play-tested, ensuring quality sound. The sleeve is in Very Good Plus (VG+) condition. Notably, the included S.A.S.E. survey card has been filled out in blue ink by the vocalist of All Rights Reserved/The Browns during his teenage years, a unique piece of memorabilia confirmed by the seller's friendship with him.
