SoCal mod/ska icons – widely credited as America’s first ska band – present this fantastic collection of career highlights packaged in a limited edition colored vinyl. Features The Untouchables’ signature hit “Free Yourself” as well as other favorites like “Wild Child,” “Whiplash” and “What’s Gone Wrong!” The Untouchables formed in 1981 as part of the embryonic L.A. mod revival, after being inspired by the ska revival/punk rock band The Boxboys. Since some couldn’t play instruments, they either hastily learned, or became vocalists. In early 1984, they were signed to Stiff Records. Concerts with The B-52’s, Black Uhuru, Bow Wow Wow, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fishbone, No Doubt and X all over California gave the group a disparate following of whites, blacks, mods, punks, surfers and rockabilly fans.
