Avengers

Avengers is a compilation album by the American punk group Avengers. It was released on vinyl in 1983 by CD Presents. It is the closest thing to a studio album the band has, although it was compiled by drummer Danny Furious from various recordings the band did in their three years of existence. The album includes some songs previously released, including all of the songs from the We Are the One EP, two songs from the Avengers EP (as well as other songs recorded during the EP's sessions) and both songs from the "Paint it Black" single. Re-releases The album has been re-released multiple times over the years. The first re-release came when the album was first released on cassette by CD Presents with two more tracks; the 1989 release on CD included the same bonus tracks. In 2000, Lady Butcher released the album on CD with 10 bonus tracks that were recorded live at the Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles, California, in August 1978. Sometime by 2003, singer Penelope Houston was selling CD-R copies of the album on her website. In 2010, CD Presents re-released the album through online music stores such as iTunes Store and Amazon MP3 and on CD only through Amazon.com featuring four alternate takes although this release appears to have been pulled due to a rights issues from Penelope Houston. In 2012 Water Music Records re-released the compilation as a 2-CD set, with the first CD containing the 14 tracks of the original vinyl release, and the second CD containing additional demo and live recordings of the era.
