Nearly four decades later, Smash Palace resurrects the lost songs that would have been their 1987 follow-up. "87" features five newly re-recorded tracks by the reunited original Epic Records lineup alongside five pristine demos from 1987, creating a unique bridge between their critically acclaimed 1985 debut and everything that followed.

Pressed on 140g black vinyl in a strictly limited edition of 100 copies.
