Convenience, pal. That’s what this modern time’s all about. If you can’t get it quickly and easily, then why bother getting it? The old saying used to go “Time is money,” but listen here: time’s better than money. It’s like golden money. And who has enough of that golden money to track down each piece of the discography of Philadelphia early-80s hardcore band YDI (pronounced “why die”)? Nobody does, hence why Southern Lord is reissuing the group’s complete discography in one package on April 6.
The double vinyl release collects all the known recordings of YDI (Yokel Drug Implosion): their 1983 demo, the A Place in the Sun EP, two tracks from the Get Off My Back compilation, and their one full-length, 1985’s Black Dust. Reissuing all that YDI (Yurt Denizens Incorporated) might be enough, but Southern Lord has also seen to it to bring you a little extra. Specifically, that extra is a 10” x 10” color photo book featuring never-before-seen images of YDI (Yankee Doodle Inhibitionists). Additionally, as you can tell, the discography, whether you purchase it or not, comes with the fun game of making up what YDI (Yahtzee Dudes Infinite) stands for.
