Top Jimmy And The Rhythm Pigs - Pigus Drunkus Maximus (Pre-Order Vinyl & CD)

Experience the long-awaited return of Top Jimmy and the Rhythm Pigs’ legendary 1987 album, Pigus Drunkus Maximus, newly remastered by East of Lincoln Productions and Blind Owl Records! After nearly forty years, this reissue brings back one of Los Angeles’ most iconic and influential punk bands with enhanced sound quality and deluxe packaging. This special edition will come in a beautiful gatefold LP jacket on Pig Pink Vinyl, 16-page booklet with comprehensive liner notes, archival photos, and quotes from some of the people that were part of the Top Jimmy legacy, such as Tom Waits, David Lee Roth, Maria McKee,
John Doe and more.

From the R&B-infused opening track, “Dance With Your Baby”, to the electrifying and gritty cover of Dylan’s “Ballad of a Thin Man”, this album captures the raw power that made Top Jimmy And The Rhythm Pigs a cult favorite in L.A.’s punk-rock underbelly. With powerhouse lead guitarist Carlos Guitarlos and charismatic frontman Top Jimmy, the dynamic pair have been described as “loud, heavy-drinking, and talented”–an apt description that reflects just as well in the music itself!

Pigus Drunkus Maximus stands alone as both a time capsule and an invitation to the heart of the rock and roll underground, and is rightfully resurrected once more in this brand-new edition. Although Top Jimmy And The Rhythm Pigs are no longer active, their influence and sound continues to echo through the generations, especially when we need it the most.
