Yes L.A.
Yes L.A. is a six-song compilation EP featuring first-generation Californian punk rock bands. It was also the final release of the short-lived but influential Dangerhouse Records label.
A one-sided picture disc released at the twilight of the early Los Angeles punk scene, Yes L.A. features some of its most acclaimed bands: the Bags, the Eyes, the Alley Cats, Black Randy and the Metrosquad, X, and the Germs.
The record title makes parody of No New York, the seminal no wave compilation album issued a year earlier, perceived as pretentious by West Coast punkers. The EP even included a satirical disclaimer printed on the disc saying: "Not produced by Brian Eno".
The compilation includes a 1978 rawer early version of X's song "Los Angeles", described by Dangerhouse Records co-founder David Brown as "a scathing, literal depiction of the scene which needs no explanation". The record also features a rare alternate mix of the Germs' "No God", a song originally produced by Geza X for the EP Lexicon Devil, previously released in May 1978.
The Yes L.A. EP has become highly sought after by record collectors.
Yes L.A. was mastered by Jeff Sanders at Crystal Sound Studios in Hollywood, California.
All songs on the compilation were previously unissued, with the only exception of Black Randy and the Metrosquad's tune "Down at the Laundrymat", featured on the band's studio album Pass the Dust, I Think I'm Bowie from July 1979.
Yes L.A. was originally released in August 1979 on Dangerhouse Records, in a limited edition of 2,000 copies pressed on 12-inch clear vinyl discs.
