Nicely priced. One copy only.

Recorded between 1983 and 1984, this album collects the entire recorded output of Chicago punk legends Savage Beliefs.

The A side comprises their long out-of-print 7” vinyl EP from 1983 - The Moral Efficiency Of Savage Beliefs.

The B side includes the group’s two 1984 sessions, both of which were recorded by Iain Burgess. The first session from ’84 was recorded for the score of Savage Beliefs, The Movie and has remained unreleased until now. The tracks from the second session in ’84 appeared on the classic hardcore WNUR Middle of America compilation.

All songs were transferred from the original master tapes by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in Chicago in June 2015.

Savage Beliefs was a Chicago-based punk rock band that existed from 1982 until 1984. They issued one 7"EP and appeared on one local compilation during that time.

The band also filmed a documentary and recorded a soundtrack for the film but both went unreleased until 2016. Guitarist Brian Gay was an original member of long-running Washington DC hardcore band Government Issue prior to moving to Chicago and continued to play in several bands around Chicago after the Savage Belief's demise.

At their last show, Steve Albini allegedly told members of the band "When I heard you were breaking up, I cried". Bassist Dave Riley went on to join Big Black after Savage Beliefs split.
