A classic american punk rock record that is way better then their slightly overrated “Kill Yourself” 7inch. The b-side is record live and I could easily live without it. No, what makes this record great is all the tracks on the a-side. Everything from song length, song titles, lyrics and the production is just perfect. “The Lewd were an outgrowth of an earlier band called the Sixteen Year Old Virgins, who changed their name to the Knobs. Lead singer J. Satz Baret was formerly as “Satin Sheets,” and played in the later, non-cabaret version of Ze Whiz Kids, circa 1975. Ze Whiz Kids, primarily a theater group, also included Tomata Du Plenty, later of the Screamers.” More info about The Lewd at: www.thelewd.com.

Aaaaargh !
I thank you tons for this, but apparently track 2 is missing ?! Is this according to plan…nice way to frustrate the heck out of me.
Hi Boulder! Track 2 is not missing. American Wino and Justice/Liberty goes into each other so they’re posted as whole. I tried to separate them but it sounded a bit strange with a snap off on the cymbal.
Sorry I was confused now. Not the cymbal I meant the guitar. When I listen to it now I think I can actually split them up!
cool, i sold my copy years ago and didn’t have it on tape. i agree that this is much better than the 7 inch. saw these guys at my first show.
this is a great record. i like it better than the 7 inch, too… a band called VS. containing the bass? player does an awesome more homemade sounding version of “magnetic heart” which i havent heard in a while, but i remember being really good….
LP is better than the 7″. That VS. 7″ is really good.
Mobile Home, the best Lewd tune, is missing?
Yepp the whole b-side is left out. But you can buy the reissue!
The only thing I ever like by the Lewd was Mobile Home…which Turbonegro do a better of. I did not like the album or the 7″. Sorry. They were not that great live either.
Fucking typo…fuck! Turbonegro’s version fucking kicks ass over the original.
hey, Does anybody have the lyrics to “beyond moderatin?” My band is trying to cover it (myspace.com/drunkonsunday) thanks
too bad Olga de Volga of the LEWD passed away -RIP
Yeah a bootleg LP exists with a couple bonus tracks in a foldout cover…I think it was released in the nineties…I’ve got one posted on GEMM.com under Loud Statues seller name…but I’m not in a hurry to sell it hence the price…but check the other sellers…BTW…Kill Yourself is hard to beat, especially from the time period..and how many live punk releases even sound as good as this? not many…either way this band ruled…wish i coulda seen em….
Beyond Moderation
Kick it in
Rip it up
Tear it out
Fuck it up
Knock it down
Blow it up
Kick it in
Spit it up
I’ve had my fair share of child abuse
Not complaining, whats the use
I got a license to make a fuss
I like to drink til I’m unconscious
Laugh at me, think I’m a mess
I take everything to excess
Don’t be a wimpy powder puff
Too much is not enough
I grew up in a broken home
Got a car with lots of chrome
Got a job with minimum wage
Now i think i got brain damage
thanks for the lyrics!!!!
One of the filthiest punk records ever made. Ausgezeichnet!
Dude thanks for the mp3’s. One of my favorite albums as a kid.
Thanks for the posting, I have long forgot about this band. Gald to hear The Lewd again
My husband is the one who turned me onto The Lewd and I LOVE ‘EM!! I love gutter punk and the boys that are in the gutter!! MOHAWKS ARE SEXY!!
OI, OI, OI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
198158 768722A thoughtful insight and suggestions I will use on my web site. Youve clearly spent some time on this. Congratulations! 177118
does any one have more lyrics polluted brain.please
Polluted Brain
Something inside me is trying to break out
Someone inside me makes me shout
It’s as if I’m possessed
Am I damned or am I blessed?
I’m not playing with a full deck
I am not a total wreck
Don’t know why my minds’ on void
Don’t ask me, I’m not Sigmund Freud
Alter ego let me go
My polluted brain
I hear voices talk to me
I see things no one can see
I get this buzzing in my brain
I get pleasure out of pain
Comes and goes, it’s like an itch
Sometimes fun, sometimes a bitch
Will I ever be free?
Am I a freak of society?
“pho-pho-pho-pho-phobia!!!” SO awesome….
Psychoterror from Estonia had covered “Dressed in black”.
