Violent Femmes‘ self-titled album has reached legendary status that few albums ever attain. Released in 1983, Violent Femmes became one of the most distinctive records of the early alternative movement and an enduring cult classic. AllMusic states that “the music also owes something to the Modern Lovers‘ minimalism, but powered by Brian Ritchie‘s busy acoustic bass riffing and the urgency and wild abandon of punk rock, the Femmes forged a sound all their own.” Teeming with teenage angst, punk sensibilities, and Violent Femmes own special brand of jittery folk-rock, the trios self-titled debut Violent Femmes became a cult favorite. Features the anthems Blister in the Sun, Please Do Not Go, Gone Daddy Gone, and Add It Up.

Housed in a lift-top box with die-cut darkened window detail revealing the box contents, the set includes three 180-gram LPs plus a replica 7″ single, along with a book featuring new liner notes by journalist David Fricke and interviews with the band.
