2024 Remaster with a bonus track. The dB's 1981 second album & Power-Pop classic is available once again on CD & newly remastered. Pop Dose noted “Repercussion is essential listening. It is necessary. It is pure and magnificent. It is a triumph...listen to it and absorb it.” Uncut stated “..this is The dB's' finest, the tension between the two writers' styles reaching its quasi psychedelic peak.” 9/10. The album was produced by Scott Litt (later a long-standing R.E.M. producer) giving it a fuller, more modern overall sound. The dB’s signed with the British label Albion and released 1981’s "Stands for deciBels" and "Repercussion," which became instant favorites among the fans, critics, and college-radio programmers fortunate enough to hear them. But the fact that the albums were available only as high-priced, sparsely distributed imports kept the band from reaching a wide audience in those pre-Internet days. The original band line-up will be touring select US cities in the Fall of 2024 and Winter of 2025 for the first time in 12 years to support the first-ever US vinyl releases of the band's first two albums.
