Jay Reatard’s 1998 debut Teenage Hate to be reissued with bonus tracks and remastered hatred

·

The late, great Jay Reatard’s first album (with The Reatards) is getting the deluxe reissue treatment. It’s called Teenage Hate and come May 31, Goner Records will release the double album as a compact disc as well as a limited-edition clear vinyl set. Teenage Hate was originally released by teenage Jay back in 1998 with 18 tracks, but this fancy new version will more than double that number with the addition of early tracks like “Fuck Elvis Here’s The Reatards” that were previously available only on cassette. Not only that, you can find tracks featuring Greg Cartwright from The Oblivians and the Reigning Sound! You can find covers of Fear, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, and The Dead Boys! And so much more!

If you’re a Jay Reatard fan, deluxe Teenage Hate is like 39 chests of buried treasure. In an early review, soon-to-be fan Dave Dunlap called Mr. Reatard “a real ‘Little Lord Punkleroy.’” Heh. However, Dunlap designated the pubescent garage rocker as “easily the most blistering pizzunk to dribble down the leg of the raspy whore that is the ‘Memphis scene’ in a long while.” Teenage Hate is where it all began, people. As a wise Black Eyed Pea once put it, “Let’s get it started in here.”
