Jackpot Records issued these seventeen songs, recorded in 1977 and 1978, on LP and CD in April 2012, and called it a street date 35 years in the making. The LP comes in a printed inner sleeve with a band history and photographs that had not been published before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteven Joseph Salazar wrote the songs, sang and played keyboards. Steve Evans played guitar and sang, Mike Enzor played bass, sang and later wrote the liner notes for this release, and Andy Gonzalez played drums. Jackpot's notes describe jagged rhythms in the vein of Devo and fast, technical playing that arrived a few years ahead of the Minutemen, and say the band was recorded by Spot, the producer known for his work at SST.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band ended in 1979, when Salazar died at 26 from a heart condition he had lived with all his life, and the others put the songs away rather than carry on without him. The title track opens side one, and the video above, from Jackpot Records, is that song. The album was mastered at Lotus Mastering for this release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdle Threat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong May She Wave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy God Look At That\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eN-N-N-N-Nervous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe Are The Skabbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurn On The Vacuum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpray Paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn A Rut Over Tut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4th Of July\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWho Killed The Kennedys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Not Available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Are The Hillside Strangler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTerry The Girl Kicker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Care No More\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplainin' Bout Kanin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Is The American Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheme From Cineman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 789397829011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jkpo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.10.12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jackpot Records","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":67500926697630,"sku":"789397829011","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/Skabbs_Idle_Threat_ALBUM_ART_PRESS.png?v=1791881955","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/the-skabbs-idle-threat-vinyl","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
