Beautiful sealed copy of Los Angeles' 1st generation punk answer to NYC's "No New York" LP. The top bands of LA's first gen punk bands including the legendary X. Early LA punk label Dangerhouse folded soon as releasing this classic. The first pressing is very difficult to find now days, and sealed is just plain nuts to find.
According to Wikipedia: "A one-sided picture disc released in the twilight of the early Los Angeles punk scene, Yes L.A. features some of its most acclaimed bands: X, the Bags, the Eyes, the Alley Cats, Black Randy and the Metrosquad, X, and the Germs.
The record title makes parody of No New York, the seminal no wave compilation album issued a year earlier. The EP even included a satirical disclaimer printed on the disc saying: "Not produced by Brian Eno".
The compilation includes a RAWER EARLY version of X's song "Los Angeles", recorded in 1978, which is, in the words of Dangerhouse Records co-founder David Brown, "a scathing, literal depiction of the scene which needs no explanation". The record also features a rare alternate mix of the Germs' "No God", a song originally produced by Geza X for the EP Lexicon Devil, previously released in May 1978.
The Yes L.A. EP has become highly sought after by record collectors."
