Useless ID "Live In Tel Aviv" 2xLP

LP - Custom Color Swirl

Featuring 28 songs that span Useless ID’s legendary 28-year career, ‘Live In Tel Aviv’ packs nearly everything you could possibly want to hear at a Useless ID show into a double LP that you can now enjoy again and again in the comfort of your own home. Just like a Useless ID live set, this record is chock full of ferociously melodic energy from the opening notes of “Land Of Idiocracy” to start Side A to the poignant politicism of “State Of Fear” to close out Side D. That’s because this record is the real deal – a single Useless ID live show recorded at The Barby in Tel Aviv, Israel on August 20, 2019, where Yotam Ben Horin, Ishay Berger, Guy Carmel, and Corey Ben Yehuda left it all on stage in front of their loyal hometown crowd.

Mixed and mastered by Jason Livermore at The Blasting Room – where so many of these classic songs were originally recorded by Bill Stevenson and Livermore – ‘Live In Tel Aviv’ showcases a veritable best-of from Useless ID’s immense catalog, which dates back to 1994 and spans eight full-length albums, along with myriad EPs, splits, singles, and compilations.

To ensure a high-fidelity listening experience, the lacquers for ‘Live In Tel Aviv’ were cut by Wes Garland at Nashville Record Productions in Nashville, Tennessee and the vinyl was hand-pressed by the incredible team at Burlington Record Plant in Burlington, Vermont.

SPIN perhaps put it best when they said this about Useless ID: “A groundbreaking career that has convincingly established Useless ID as Israel’s most successful punk band and arguably the Middle Eastern country’s most internationally successful act ever.”

‘Live In Tel Aviv’ is at once a celebration of all that Useless ID has already gifted to the world and a promise of more to come.
