* Poison Idea’s official  debut release was 1983’s short, lo-fi blast of punk/hardcore fury, the Pick Your King EP. The infamous jacket featured a “choice” of two kings, Jesus (front cover) and Elvis Presley (back cover). It was released on the bands own Fatal Erection label. In 1984, the band released the Record Collectors Are Pretentious Assholes 12” (the cover, featuring guitarist Pig Champion’s substantial vinyl collection). The record found the band incorporating subtle heavy rock elements into their music which was further honed on their contribution to the 1985 Drinking is Great compilation 7” with the track Laughing Boy. Both Record Collectors... and Drinking... were self-released on Fatal Erection records. By this time (84-85), Poison Idea was in full swing and were perfecting their signature wall of sound: raging punk attack. 

* In cooperation with the band and TKO records, Southern Lord is honored to release the cd version of The Fatal Erection Years. This compilation collects the Pick Your King 7”, Record Collectors Are Pretentious Assholes LP, and 4 compilation tracks from the era. Exclusive to this cd version (only), is the entire live set from the band at their best in Portland circa 1983. Live at the Met features 19 live RAW punk blasts and effectively brings this essential archival document to a raucous, destructive end. Poster/booklet contains liner notes from Poison Idea vocalist: Jerry A. and tons of photos, flyers etc. from the bands history.
