Relapse will reissue the classic debut album, Nobody Likes A Thinker, from Australia’s pioneering skate punks MASSAPPEAL Tuesday, January 23rd (January 29th internationally.)

Originally released in 1986, Nobody Likes A Thinker has been remastered and expanded to include seventeen bonus tracks (including rare demos), a special 20-page booklet featuring extensive liner notes and photos, and Ben Brown’s now legendary “Choose Life” cover artwork.

An e-card previewing Nobody Likes A Thinker, featuring the now classics “Are You Alright”, “Fun Again’ and “Rat In A Hole” can be accessed here: http://www.relapse.com/ecards/massappeal/

Holy shit -- I forgot that band existed. When I was a little skate grommet, I sent away for a Thrasher Magazine "Skate Rock" compilation (on cassette, of course). "Fun Again" was, I believe, the 1st track. Why do I remember this shit?
