Jealous Again is a 12" EP that was the second release by American hardcore punk band Black Flag and the third-always release on SST Records.

History [edit]

Although eventually released as a 12" extended-play 45 RPM single, Jealous Again was initially intended to exist Blackness Flag'south first full-length album.[1]

Spurred on by the reception to their get-go release, the EP Nervous Breakdown, Black Flag entered the studio in late 1979 with new drummer Robo and original singer Keith Morris to brainstorm recording their first LP.[2] Basic tracks for all of the songs were cut live in the studio with Morris singing temporary vocal parts. Almost without alert, yet, co-ordinate to bassist Chuck Dukowski, Morris "smashed his records and guitar and walked out screaming for a week," quitting the band and refusing to complete the album.[1]

The band then recruited former Redd Kross fellow member Ron Reyes, (credited on the record as "Chavo Pederast" later a falling out with the band) to exist their new vocalizer; however, guitarist and band leader Greg Ginn felt he was not however ready to record, and the tapes were put aside for several months.[one] After several shows with Reyes, ane of which was filmed for the flick The Decline of Western Culture, the sessions resumed, first with Ginn overdubbing new guitar parts and then Reyes doing his vocals. Withal, the initial attempts to record with Reyes proved fruitless when he started walking out of the vocal booth, and sometimes the studio entirely, in the heart of takes. Reyes subsequently quit the band in the middle of a live performance, derailing the sessions entirely for a second time.[ane]

Ginn and Dukowski were already talking with some other old Redd Kross member, Dez Cadena, virtually joining the band as a second guitarist; when Reyes quit the group, Cadena was invited to accept his place.[1] [2] The ring'due south producer/engineer Spot took an incentive and brought Cadena into the studio to record his own vocals for the anthology. Several tracks were done in one dark with Cadena, but were shelved when Reyes agreed to consummate the project. These new vocal sessions, co-ordinate to Spot, went so smoothly that he could not resist jokingly request Reyes, "Why didn't you quit the band before this?"[1]

Ginn and Dukowski decided to release five tracks from the finished Reyes sessions as the 12" EP known to Black Flag fans today, and elected to make a second attempt at a debut album with Cadena as atomic number 82 vocalist.

Vocal history [edit]

Early versions of "Revenge" and "White Minority" with Reyes on vocals, forth with an early version of the after Damaged rails "Depression", were recorded and filmed for The Decline of Western Civilization. In the movie and on the soundtrack album, Reyes defiantly dedicates the former song to the LAPD.[3] [four] Already, Blackness Flag (and many other Los Angeles punk bands) were getting harassed past police; "Revenge" was undoubtedly inspired at least in part by the ring's unprovoked encounters with them.

"You lot Bet We've Got Something Personal Against You lot!" initially started life every bit a Greg Ginn/Keith Morris composition, "I Don't Care", recorded during the original album sessions with Morris on vocals.[1] When Morris quit the band, however, he took both "I Don't Care" and Nervous Breakdown's "Wasted" (the only other Morris/Ginn songwriting collaboration under the Black Flag moniker)[5] with him and recorded them with his new band The Circle Jerks on their debut album Group Sex activity.[6] Offended by what they saw as the misappropriation of ii Black Flag songs, Dukowski wrote new lyrics to Ginn's music for "I Don't Intendance" and recorded what is essentially an attack on Morris and the Circumvolve Jerks. "You Bet..." is besides the only fourth dimension Dukowski sings lead vocals on a Black Flag vocal.

Existing outtakes [edit]

Christgau's Tape Guide B[ix]

The Hamlet Vocalisation critic Robert Christgau wrote in his review of the EP: "Black Flag are committed to rage, not in itself—I don't believe their 'I've got something personal confronting you lot' even though I know information technology'due south truthful—but as a musical principle. V songs, seven minutes, every bit high-sounding as no moving ridge, with a comparable relationship to punk precedents, which for Fifty.A. are bones Brit. The sound is extreme and unique, all forced rhythm and guitar blur with no ingratiating distractions—no humour, irony, hooks, or (God knows) melody. Well, perhaps irony."[9]
