PLASMATICS: Coup de Grace Vinyl LP

Coup de Grace is the original demo version of the Plasmatics' 1982 album Coup d'Etat, recorded in spring 1982 at Electric Lady Studios in New York with producers Dan Hartman and Rod Swenson and put to tape in about a week. It sat unreleased for twenty years, finally appearing in 2002, and many fans prefer its rawer sound to the finished album. Wendy O. Williams fronts the line-up of Richie Stotts, Wes Beech, Chris Romanelli and Joey Reese, caught at the point where the band's punk was turning into metal.

This is the 2024 High Roller Records pressing, which comes with a lyric sheet and poster. The black vinyl is limited to 300 copies and the white vinyl to 200.
