Bad Religion Celebrate 30 Years with a Lot of Vinyl

Longtime punk rockers Bad Religion just celebrated their third decade of existence with a new album, last month’s The Dissent of Man. Now, they’re giving fans an even bigger present: a massive vinyl box set spanning almost their entire discography.

Bad Religion 30th Anniversary Box Set gathers 15 studio albums in one spot, from debut LP How Could Hell Be Any Worse in 1981 to The Dissent of Man. This is significant for a number of reasons – it brings together the band’s output on original and current homebase Epitaph Records alongside the band’s major-label output for Atlantic in the mid-to-late 1990s. It’s also the first time 1992’s Generator will be back in print since 12 years back, and only the second time sophomore album Into the Unknown will be put in print.

All albums are pressed onto limited edition red vinyl and stored in a special box. Pre-orders are happening now for a special price of $199.99 (it will jump to $224.99 on October 26), and the sets will ship in early November. The set will of course be limited (3,000 copies in total), so one would do well to act now at Bad Religion’s Web store.

Reacquaint yourself with the discography after the jump.
