Originally released in the late 90’s Just the Facts quickly became a must-have release. It was a rowdy good time — a skinhead rock ‘n’ roll full length that also mixed in elements of hardcore, punk and oi. It not only delivered the goods, but it also knocked you off your feet and left you wanting more. It was followed up by the Good Life single and shortly after Brass Tacks called it a day. The 1000 copies of Just the Facts made quickly sold out. For about 15 years this full length was only available digitally, until now.

LP version – Beer City Skateboards and Records is proud to bring you for the first time ever on vinyl Brass Tacks – Just the Facts 15th Anniversary Edition LP! This contains the original full length plus the tracks from The Good Life 7” as well as the demo track and only recorded version of the song “Just the Facts” — a grand total of 18 blistering boot-stomping tracks. This reissue has been given the deluxe treatment of a brand new layout including a inner sleeve filled with lyrics, photos and flyers from the band’s 15+ year existence. All the tracks on this release have been restored and remastered by Dave Eck at Lucky Lacquers. Limited to 1000 copies on translucent red vinyl for RSD 2015.
