Bad Brains - Black Dots180 Gram Vinyl. Black Dots contains the first full length session of Bad Brains in a studio. It was recorded at Inner Ear Studios in 1979, which at the time was in Don Zientara's basement. The tapes sat in Arlington, VA for 17 years, until they were mixed and released in 1996 by Caroline Records. It's an outstanding document of the band at the start of their career, sounding fierce, loud and at their best.

and introspective lyrics that are as playful and self-aware as they are cutting

he replaces them with whimsical and youthful spontaneity
