Insurgence DC - Ripe For The Trade-Off (30th Anniversary Edition) 2LP

30th Anniversary double LP on Opaque Baby Blue vinyl, remixed by Dave Barbe, the original album's producer. Also includes unreleased bonus tracks mixed by Don Zientara (Fugazi) at Inner Studios in Arlington, VA.

Hailed by critics as one of the best punk albums of 1995, Ripe For The Trade Off was in heavy rotation on college radio all around the US that year. Often compared to bands like The Clash, Fugazi and Husker Du, Insurgence DC recorded this album with David Barbe of Bob Mould's band Sugar in Athens, GA in 1993-94.

Independent Magazine said that "Ripe For The Trade Off synthesizes the high points of two decades worth of overtly political punk," while Indie File Magazine said in 1995 "this stuff packs the punch of a prize heavwight... Smart, without being stuffy or pretentious."
