80–85: Difference between revisions

'''''80–85''''' is the first compilation album by [[Bad Religion]], released in 1991 after the band had risen to success. It is a collection of their early recordings before the come-back1988 release of thetheir 1988third releasealbum ''[[Suffer (album)|Suffer]]''.

One of the most mysterious aspects of this compilation is its release date. Although the inlay on some says it was from 1991, this information may be confusing, like other early Bad Religion releases. Another reason why it could have been released before 1991 is because of its catalog number; ''80-85'' was released as Epitaph number 86407, while ''[[Against the Grain (Bad Religion album)|Against the Grain]]'' was released as Epitaph number 86409. For a while, Epitaph.com and the official Bad Religion website both claimed it was released on May 18, 1992, two months after the release of then-current album ''[[Generator (Bad Religion album)|Generator]]'' (the current Bad Religion website claims it was released on November 12, 1991). Also, some software-based audio players and CD rippers that use CD lookup databases such as [[CDDB]] note 1989 as its release date. Finally, [[Allmusic]] claims it was released in 1990, while [[Punknews.org]] claims it was released in 1985 and Epitaph.com claims it was released in 1994, but there are no facts to support thiseither case.
