Beex – The Early Years: 1979-1982 LP

In August of 1978, the young and burgeoning scene of Richmond was rocked to it's very core by the untimely and tragic death of Ralph Harper - the frontman for one of the area's earliest punk bands known as RICKY AND THE WHITE BOYS. The city mourned the loss of their 23 year old comrade. Once the grief had subsided enough, Ricky along with a couple of the other members of the White Boys ultimately decided to form a new outfit. This record compiles the band's 1st couple studio sessions that yielded a pair of classic early American punk singles: '79s "(my heart goes) beat beat" on Wasp Records and '82s "butch" on Zero Degree Records along with unreleased tracks from each session that have been lovingly remixed and remastered from the original tapes. Each record comes in a stunning gatefold jacket featuring never before seen photographs, flyers and other imagery from 4 decades ago along with liner notes by founding guitarist Richard "Ricky" Buchanan, all of which give those who are curious a glimpse into the for ative years of the mighty BEEX.
