The Dead Kennedys’ final studio album before their acrimonious split is here in its coveted first UK pressing, shipped all the way from Tokyo, Japan — which itself tells you something about the global reach of this record’s legacy. What makes this listing genuinely special is the inclusion of the original rare poster that came with select early UK copies, along with the original inner sleeve. Bedtime for Democracy was the band at peak political fury, a rapid-fire barrage of short punk blasts that felt like a last-stand manifesto. EX/EX condition, this is close to as good as it gets for a nearly 40-year-old record.
