A defining statement of American punk, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables delivers the Dead Kennedys’ razor‑sharp political satire, surf‑tinged guitar attack and Jello Biafra’s unmistakable vocal snarl. Originally released in 1980, the album remains one of the most influential punk records ever pressed, featuring era‑defining anthems such as “California Über Alles”, “Holiday in Cambodia”, “Kill the Poor” and “Chemical Warfare.”

This 2014 Cherry Red reissue (BRED 640) brings the album back to vinyl with renewed clarity while preserving the raw, frantic energy of the original mix.
