Social Distortion - Social Distortion

Originally released in 1990, the self-titled third album from Social Distortion is the definitive "commercial breakthrough" for the Orange County veterans. Moving away from the raw hardcore of their youth, Mike Ness and company perfected a signature blend of "outlaw country, blues, and high-octane punk"—a sound that would eventually be dubbed "Cowpunk." This major-label debut on Epic Records catapulted the band from the underground to the mainstream, powered by the gritty, autobiographical storytelling of "Ball and Chain" and the relentless energy of "Story of My Life."

This premium Music On Vinyl (MOV) reissue brings the "girth of sound" that this classic deserves. Pressed on 180g audiophile-grade vinyl, the mastering highlights the "growling Gibson guitars" and Ness’s unmistakable, gravelly vocal delivery. Whether you’re spinning their definitive cover of Johnny Cash’s "Ring of Fire" or the melodic defiance of "Let It Be Me," this pressing ensures the band's "blue-collar punk" soul is captured with maximum punch and clarity.
