Released on February 5, 1982, on the cassette-only label ROIR, Bad Brains is the debut studio album by the American band, blending hardcore punk and reggae. Recorded in 1981, it was quickly dubbed The Yellow Tape by fans, in reference to its yellow cover. Although the band had already recorded the album Black Dots (1979) and the EP Omega Sessions (1980), this cassette was their first official long-form release. This reissue is part of the remastering campaign accompanying the relaunch of the Bad Brains Records label. Produced in collaboration with the band, it was overseen by Org Music, with audio work entrusted to Dave Gardner at Infrasonic Mastering, and pressing done at Furnace Record Pressing.
