A forerunner of hardcore punk, and adept at reggae, heavy metal, funk, hip hop and soul, Washington DC's acclaimed Bad Brains have been called "the mother of all black hard-rock bands" by Rolling Stone magazine. Formed in 1976 as the jazz fusion band Mind Power, Bad Brains have gone through numerous line-up changes over their nearly 50 years performing, released nine studio albums, and have influenced countless other bands and musicians. The original line-up of H.R., Dr. Know, Darryl Jenifer, and Earl Hudson, intact until 1987, is seen in the photograph on the 1982 flyer on offer here.

8.5 x 11 inches on goldenrod paper. Near Fine.
