Pin-back badge for Derry, Northern Ireland punk-pop band The Undertones, issued by U.S. label Rykodisc to promote their 1994 reissues of the band’s four albums.
When I joined Rykodisc as their online intern in 1994, I scooped up a handful of these badges, part of their then-current catalog reissue campaign for The Undertones.
I’d first discovered the post-Undertones band That Petrol Emotion, via their alternative rock radio hit “Groove Check” in 1988. But when I discovered The Undertones a few years later... now, THAT was my kind of music. Witty, thrashy pop odes to teenage angst (and, yes, Kicks), with Feargal Sharkey’s warbling yelp above it all.
So yes, I helped myself to some badges first, then the series of CDs themselves over a series of weeks as part of my intern allotment.
THE UNDERTONES Teenage Kicks. Classic debut 1978 Irish four-prong centre 7" EP, the record that made a generation cry ('teenage dreams so hard to beat' now engraved on John Peel's tombstone), released in September 1978 on Belfast’s Good Vibrations label in a limited run & housed in a fold-out poster sleeve. This is the black & white sleeve variant (others were light blue, mustard yellow, pink or green). Also features the equally brilliant Smarter Than You, True Confessions & Emergency Cases. The sleeve has seen better days and is strictly graded Very Good, with some minor general wear with some nicks along the edges and some discoloration from moisture. The vinyl remains Excellent with some minor surface scuffs but plays without any issues and still sounds great!
