Public interest in underground electronica seems to have rekindled the band's interest in making experimental-minded rock albums. A THOUSAND LEAVES demonstrates why, 18 years after they formed in NYC, this band was still regarded as the most forward-looking unit in rock.\u003cbr\u003eOn long tracks like \"Wildflower Soul,\" \"Hits of Sunshine (for Allen Ginsberg),\" and \"Karen Koltrane,\" the interplay between guitarists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo leads the songs into elaborate and inspired instrumental passages that recall the group's late '80s heyday. As usual, Moore, Ranaldo, and Kim Gordon split up the vocal duties, but this time Kim's singing is gruffer, almost a bark on \"The Ineffable Me,\" while Thurston sounds breathier and more relaxed than ever on \"Snare, Girl.\" Recorded entirely at the band's own studio, A THOUSAND LEAVES feels carefully constructed and produced while still immediate. Even after a dozen albums, Sonic Youth can still come up with over an hour of intriguing and vital new material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/14\/2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sonic Youth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41897019211857,"sku":"Y7D0L0-5H79-00","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Sonic-Youth-THOUSAND-LEAVES-2LP_eNr8W.jpg?v=1759470202"},{"product_id":"sonic-youth-sonic-youth-washing-machine2lp-vinyl","title":"Sonic Youth WASHING MACHINE(2LP) [Vinyl]","description":"Sonic Youth - Sonic Youth WASHING MACHINE(2LP) [Records \u0026amp; LPs] \u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 602547431073 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWASHING MACHINE features an unlisted instrumental as track 9.\u003cbr\u003eSonic Youth: Kim Gordon, Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo, Steve Shelley.\u003cbr\u003eAdditional personnel: Kim Deal, Lorette Velvette, Melissa Dunn (background vocals).\u003cbr\u003eRecorded at Easley Studios, Memphis, Tennessee; Mott Street \u0026amp; Greene Street Studios, New York, New York between January and May 1995.\u003cbr\u003eWASHING MACHINE returns Sonic Youth to the ringing electric guitars, clever songwriting and multi-layered arrangements that are the band's calling card. Not the casual acoustic sigh of its predecessor, EXPERIMENTAL JET SET, TRASH AND NO STAR, WASHING MACHINE's electricity gives Sonic Youth new life.\u003cbr\u003eWith its sprawling guitar noise, \"The Diamond Sea\" recalls the GOO-era \"Mote,\" proving that the crunching metallic waves that once made Sonic Youth so impressive are back. \"Junkie's Promise\" trembles with distortion and shimmering melodic phrases, while \"Saucer-Like\" brings the band's clamoring two-guitar dynamic back into focus. This is the band's triumph--their sound is easier to digest, and invites the listeners to re-examine their strengths.\u003cbr\u003eWASHING MACHINE is also a return to form in terms of songwriting. \"Panty Lies\" continues Kim Gordon's hipster manifesto series, giving us another glimpse of the world from her perspective--\"oh how rude,\" she sneers, \"at least I got your attention, square.\" \"Skip Tracer\" hints at Sonic Youth's position as baby-sitters for the next generation of alternative rockers, but isn't condescending. In fact, it's one of the best moments on the album. A description of a singer \"shouting the poetic truths of high school journal takers\" exemplifies the age gap between Sonic Youth and the new generation, but it doesn't alienate them. It's just such awareness that makes WASHING MACHINE work. Sonic Youth's respect for the scene they helped create will forever keep them on top of the indie heap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2\/26\/2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sonic Youth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41897019506769,"sku":"CJU0UL-VNTM-00","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Sonic-Youth-WASHING-MACHINE2LP_4g3CO.jpg?v=1762469993"},{"product_id":"sonic-youth-sonic-youth-live-in-brooklyn-2011-limited-edition-colored-vinyl-2-lps-vinyl","title":"Sonic Youth Live In Brooklyn 2011 (Limited Edition, Colored Vinyl) (2 Lp's) [Vinyl]","description":"Sonic Youth - Sonic Youth Live In Brooklyn 2011 (Limited Edition, Colored Vinyl) (2 Lp's) [Records \u0026amp; LPs] \u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 795154138531 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracksCredits\u003cbr\u003e1 Brave Men Run (In My Family)\u003cbr\u003e2 Death Valley '69\u003cbr\u003e3 Kotton Krown\u003cbr\u003e4 Kill Yr Idols\u003cbr\u003e5 Eric's Trip\u003cbr\u003e6 Sacred Trickster\u003cbr\u003e7 Calming the Snake\u003cbr\u003e8 Starfield Rose\u003cbr\u003e9 I Love Her All the Time\u003cbr\u003e10 Ghost Bitch\u003cbr\u003e11 Tom Violence\u003cbr\u003e12 What We Know\u003cbr\u003e13 Drunken Butterfly\u003cbr\u003e14 Flower\u003cbr\u003e15 Sugar Kane\u003cbr\u003e16 Psychic Hearts\u003cbr\u003e17 Inhuman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 08\/18\/2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 08\/18\/2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sonic Youth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41958394986577,"sku":"PH7I93-M492-00","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/sonic-youth-live-in-brooklyn-2011-limited-edition-colored-vinyl-2-lps_onqPI.jpg?v=1762471101"},{"product_id":"sonic-youth-walls-have-ears-colored-vinyl-silver-limited-edition-2-lps-vinyl","title":"Walls Have Ears (Colored Vinyl, Silver, Limited Edition) (2 Lp's) (Vinyl)","description":"Sonic Youth - Walls Have Ears (Colored Vinyl, Silver, Limited Edition) (2 Lp's) (Vinyl) \u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 787996802336 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 02\/09\/2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 02\/09\/2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 2LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sonic Youth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41993164947537,"sku":"K78CHD-WMBZ-00","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/sonic-youth-walls-have-ears-colored-vinyl-silver-limited-edition-2-lps_OLspu.jpg?v=1762473035"},{"product_id":"sonic-youth-inoutin-vinyl","title":"In\/Out\/In (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eNEW \/ SEALED\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eA1 - Basement Contender\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eA2 - In \u0026amp; Out\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eA3 - Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eB1 - Social Static\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eB2 - Out \u0026amp; In\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP OBI with essay, insert with essay [w\/ download card]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sonic Youth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42010103021649,"sku":"1YCETW-J3OW-00","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/in-out-in_08wB6.jpg?v=1759471786"},{"product_id":"sonic-youth-inoutin-cd","title":"In\/Out\/In (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlbum formatted collection of underheard Sonic rarities from the legendary band‚Äôs 2000-2010 era, most for the first time on any physical format.

The concert was introduced by Big Black's Steve Albini (who at the time was banned from the venue) and subsequently released as a semi-official bootleg under the title Hold That Tiger on writer\/provocateur Byron Coley's impishly Geffen-baiting label Goofin' (years later the band would use this nom de guerre for their own imprint).\r\n\r\nHold That Tiger's sterling reputation among the Sonic Youth faithful is well deserved.

Indeed, HTT is the sound of a group at the peak of their powers, presenting new songs alongside a handful of older ones with the kind of wild, cathartic enthusiasm common to rock 'n' roll's most revered live albums. Taking nothing away from Sister-inarguably one of indie rock's first true masterpieces-it is reasonable that many fans prefer the live versions heard on Hold That Tiger to their studio counterparts. On HTT, Sonic Youth is a spiky, pummeling and confident force, alternately mammoth and meditative. Sister and it's predecessor EVOL notably added an airy, dreamlike reverie to the band's turbulent doom-lurch, a stylistic evolution that seems to crystallize on HTT. Throughout, Kim Gordon's sinewy, sumptuous bass and Steve Shelley's propulsive, tom-heavy percussion provide the bedrock groove for Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo's ferocious barrages of noise-guitar crunch. By 1987, the band was confidently articulating their dual lexicon of punk-noir dissonance and supernal, psychedelic sonic calligraphy-bending their jagged, streetwise gnarl into balloon animals of dazzling and beautiful songs. This collision of splendor and chaos would become a hallmark of the group's singular alchemy as well as provide a blueprint for the post-SST American underground they would help invent and ultimately nurture. Hold That Tiger's encore-four songs by the band's beloved Ramones, which Thurston would later astutely compare to \"the perfect pudding after a hearty meal\"-serves as a reminder that, like any true punks, Sonic Youth never could resist a good, rousing anthem to send the kids home with their ears ringing, their hearts hot-wired.

On HTT, Sonic Youth is a spiky, pummeling and confident force, alternately mammoth and meditative. Sister and it's predecessor EVOL notably added an airy, dreamlike reverie to the band's turbulent doom-lurch, a stylistic evolution that seems to crystallize on HTT. Throughout, Kim Gordon's sinewy, sumptuous bass and Steve Shelley's propulsive, tom-heavy percussion provide the bedrock groove for Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo's ferocious barrages of noise-guitar crunch. By 1987, the band was confidently articulating their dual lexicon of punk-noir dissonance and supernal, psychedelic sonic calligraphy-bending their jagged, streetwise gnarl into balloon animals of dazzling and beautiful songs. This collision of splendor and chaos would become a hallmark of the group's singular alchemy as well as provide a blueprint for the post-SST American underground they would help invent and ultimately nurture. Hold That Tiger's encore-four songs by the band's beloved Ramones, which Thurston would later astutely compare to \"the perfect pudding after a hearty meal\"-serves as a reminder that, like any true punks, Sonic Youth never could resist a good, rousing anthem to send the kids home with their ears ringing, their hearts hot-wired. This first-time reissue comes with gatefold jacket. Mastered by Bob Weston from the original tapes. Recorded by Aadam Jacobs.

Originally slated to be a seven-inch single to follow up their self-titled debut, Sonic Youth 's Confusion Is Sex blossomed into the band's first album: a brain-bludgeoning, completely fried endeavor of dissonance and disarray, a perfect soundtrack for running from a chain-wielding gang near the SIN Club. This was the sound of 1983 New York City: nothing like London where punks were starting to scrub their faces and sounds to get on Top of the Pops, and nothing like the jangly roots of college radio rock starting to formulate in Athens, Georgia. It sounded like no one else on Earth, for that matter. The raw, Wharton Tiers 8-track production is dark, the Kim Gordon-scrawled cover figure art of Thurston Moore is dark, Lee Ranaldo 's back cover photo-collage and Catherine Ceresole 's crumpled-xeroxed images that adorned the inside are dark. It's an album that moves Sonic Youth forward from their first EP almost by devolving backwards into true ugly, lo-fi primitivity. The bare-boned arsenal of junkpile guitars and implementation of alternate tunings was growing, and so were the songs that matched the individual attributes of each instrument: certain ones groan and growl a specific way that the band started to realize itself could become the compositional germ of a song. Herein is the threshold of a new explosion of the band's creativity, replacing the comparatively cleaner buzz of the Sonic Youth EP with guitars that spew fractured, uglier chunks of sound everywhere, held down by menacing minimalist basslines and the brutal-yet-controlled metronomic drumming. While it's confrontationalism might have put off some critics, time has rewarded Confusion with a truly distinctive air and atmosphere in the Sonic discography, enough to have Moore declare it his fave along with the band's swan-song The Eternal.\r\n\r\n \r\nTracks\r\n1 (She's in a) Bad Mood\r\n2 Protect Me You\r\n3 Freezer Burn\/I Wanna Be Your Dog\r\n4 Shaking Hell\r\n5 Inhuman\r\n6 The World Looks Red\r\n7 Confusion Is Next\r\n8 Making the Nature Scene\r\n9 Lee Is Free\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 09\/23\/2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 72 hours for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 9\/23\/16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JITFE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sonic Youth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42433970274385,"sku":"WO9C9P-GCBH-BR","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/sonic-youth-confusion-is-sex_FIbS5.jpg?v=1747323810"},{"product_id":"sister-cassette-cassette","title":"Sister (Cassette)","description":"Description\r\n1987's Sister was another notch in the band's move away from No Wave, yet still maintained their experimental approach.

On the heels of a lengthy investigation into their relationship to 20th Century classical music, the band took advantage of their millennial crossroads in 2000 via the adventurous, then-newfound All Tomorrow's Parties festival in the UK, on invitation from Mogwai. Besides it being historical as their last show as a foursome until 2006, it stands as a wholly unique set that not only delved into instrumental previews of the forthcoming NYC Ghosts And Flowers, but also featured an opening 20 minute group interpretation of a solo composition Thurston had performed at NYC's late\/beloved venue The Cooler.\r\n\r\nWith Thurston and Lee both sporting electric 12-strings, and Kim on her Eterna, the piece was set-listed as \"New Drone\", and took a right turn from the initial instrumental plan with Kim's added intonings that reflected on Sylvia Plath's relationship to her husband, hence retitled \"J'Accuse Ted Hughes\". It's a sublimely spaced out bit of one-chord introspection, though perhaps not what the festival punters were looking for at that moment. Certainly not the irked Melody Maker scribe who headlined his review \"Goodbye 20th Century\/Goodbye Talent\", a screencap of which appears on the sleeve of this 2008 release. Sparks infamously declared \"Talent Is An Asset\", and one of SY's great ones was to give their deep listener faction something new and unheard to chew on. Initially live streamed in not-so-great quality, the SYR 7 mix ably accents the thunderous, phased crescendos that ebb and flow here. The flip of this release brings Jim O'Rourke into the fold with a piece for a never-completed collaboration with French clothing designer Agnes B. Recorded in 2003 in SY's home turf of Echo Canyon in downtown Manhattan, this 18 minute piece plumbs even deeper drone recesses and colorful dins. O'Rourke in the ranks led to a number of years that wed Sonic Youth's penchant for denser, long-form interaction with the songcraft style they perfected; this soundtrack piece in particular is a glimpse into the shared language as a quintet getting it's foothold.

It's now issued for the first time officially under the band's auspices.\r\n\r\n\"The '85 shows were the second time the band appeared on UK soil, Brits now getting juiced to the mythos of the emerging guitar-slinging American independent underground; an art \/ punk band from NYC sporting casual attitudes and tees sporting Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, and Prince made some good press copy on top of their bludgeoning stage appearance. Paul Smith of the newly-founded Blast First label acted as an overseas diplomatic envoy for Sonic Youth through their SST years as well as issuing their classic 1988 Daydream Nation outside the USA. However the Smith-produced 'bootleg' of their '85 UK gigs surfaced much to everyone's surprise, just before EVOL was to be released. It turned out to be a marker of the group's dissatisfaction that ultimately led to the release's deletion, and the band and Smith parting ways after Daydream. \"In this 2LP set brimming with primitive classics like 'The Burning Spear,' 'Death Valley 69,' and 'I'm Insane' (uncredited on sleeve), segues and live guitar changes ooze together threaded by Madonna tapes and vocal loops off the board (somewhat a necessity for distraction until the band had a full fledged stage crew to prepare guitars). The first two sides of Walls are massive, cavernous, with newly-drafted drummer Steve Shelley. SY tear it up especially on one trash-fi excerpt of 'Blood On Brighton Beach' (actually 'Making The Nature Scene') from a legendary outdoor gig November 8th where [Thurston] Moore, [Kim] Gordon and [Lee] Ranaldo's guitars treble-blast dissonant shockwaves over the black-stoned beach of Quadrophenia fame. \"The record's second slab spotlights an April 1985 at London's Hammersmith Palais and was one of the final appearances live of Bob Bert on drums, again featuring some molten takes on 'Brother James,' 'Flower' (listed as 'The Word (E.V.O.L.)'), and others.

For a start, the first three songs (\"The Empty Page, \" \"Disconnection Notice, \" and \"Rain On Tin\") easily rank with the highlights of SY's previous 15 albums. Obliquely melancholic, tuneful but unorthodox, all are enriched by great cascades of intricate three-guitar noise. Murray Street was the first album by the band to feature Jim O'Rourke as an official fifth member to bolster the group's sound.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Empty Page\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisconnection Notice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKaren Revisited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRain on Tin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadical Adults Lick Godhead Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSympathy for the Strawberry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 602547491824\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Geffen Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.15.16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sonic Youth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58254421065809,"sku":"572088","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/3027721.jpg?v=1759474130"},{"product_id":"sonic-youth-goo-lp","title":"Goo [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eGoo is a portrait of Sonic Youth at their most self-indulgently noisy and contentious, covering topics ranging from Karen Carpenter ('Tunic') to UFOs ('Disappearer') to dating Jesus' mom ('Mary-Christ').

While the cover art evokes European contempo classical releases of yore, Sonic Youth distinctively reinvent their own personal output potential the way those kinds of records revolutionized a previously defined genre. Their ethos of utilizing the roots of the Ramones, Television, VU, Stooges, and No Wave to shape their first decade now find the band in later years bullet-pointing fascination in AMM, MEV, improvised music, free jazz and other outer-limit\/organic refractions of traditional rock. While Sonic Youth's spontaneous-creation moments had long been showcased in their recordings, Peel Sessions, and live, SYR 2 sums up the band's state in 1997: rolling lots of tape, fine-tuning ideas and presenting great moments of exciting new directions, allowing deep-listener type fans to gain better insight into their sound process. Add to that the alchemy of Jim O'Rourke's gradual entry into the core band which would soon be fully on display for SYR 3, and this series is an X-ray of evolution, dissection and reconstruction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlaapkamers Met Slagroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHerinneringen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 787996900216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sonic Youth \/ Syr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.9.24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sonic Youth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58291926106193,"sku":"280123","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/1745031.jpg?v=1760736633"},{"product_id":"sister-vinyl","title":"Sister [Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eSister\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e is the fourth studio album by American \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alternative_rock\" title=\"Alternative rock\"\u003ealternative rock\u003c\/a\u003e band \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sonic_Youth\" title=\"Sonic Youth\"\u003eSonic Youth\u003c\/a\u003e, released on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/SST_Records\" title=\"SST Records\"\u003eSST Records\u003c\/a\u003e on June 1, 1987.
