Various ‎Artists - Life Is Ugly... So Why Not Kill Yourself? (Limited Edition) [Import]

First-ever vinyl reissue for this seminal compilation of early California Hardcore Punk, originally issued on the New Underground label in 1982. Featuring such names as the Descendents, Minutemen, Anti-, Saccharine Trust, Redd Cross, along with more obscure ones as Civil Dismay, Ill Will, or Zurich 1916. 

"Once you listen to the bands on “Life Is Ugly... So Why Not Kill Yourself? and the other two volumes: Life Is Beautiful... So Why Not Eat Health Foods? and Life Is Boring... So Why Not Steal This Record?, the listener will agree that these are some of the best punk compilations of their time. No punk record collection is complete without copies of these albums, and it is amazing how time has forgotten and overlooked the impact and important piece of punk music history they are a part of. Now, thanks to Radiation Records, all three “Life Is...” record compilations by New Underground Records are being re-released. Almost 40 years after their initial release, the “Life Is” compilations are the perfect soundtrack for the chaotic world we are currently living in."
