{"product_id":"beach-blvd","title":"Beach Blvd","description":"\u003cp\u003eInfluential independent label Posh Boy helped the southern California punk scene to gain traction in the late 70s and early 80s through a series of releases by then-unknown bands. The legendary 1979 compilation Beach Blvd referenced Route 39, a highway that connected the label’s various artists, located in suburbs from Huntingdon Beach up to the San Gabriel Valley. Rosemead’s Simpletones were one of the first melodic punk acts; Huntingdon Beach’s The Crowd drew from surf rock and hardcore in equal measure, while the material credited to Rik L Rik are actually remixes of demos he cut with Negative Trend, now with bass overdubs by Simpletones guitarist Jay Lansford, who also cut lead guitar on \u003ci\u003eAtomic Lawn\u003c\/i\u003e. This ultra-expanded, double vinyl reissue features 17 bonus tracks of Simpletones and Crowd material, as well as live material from Rik L Rik’s first group, the legendary F-Word!, and the two only known tracks recorded by The Klan, the short-lived quartet fronted by\u003cbr\u003eSimpletones vocalist, Richard “Snickers” Scott.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Radiation","offers":[{"title":"LP | x2","offer_id":50452629061963,"sku":"1091064","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/d5a2a7ae-9efd-410f-8902-8536682c4464_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727158855","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/beach-blvd","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
