Pre-order for “Are you Ready” by Bad Brains on coke bottle green vinyl!

Indie Retail Exclusive Coke Bottle Clear Trust Records announces their inaugural release in partnership with Bad Brains and produced in cooperation with band, the legendary but never-before-released first studio recording, Are You Ready: The First Studio Recording (Inner Ear - March 1979). Mixed for release in 2026 by Ian MacKaye (Fugazi, Minor Threat) these six songs set the underground music world on fire in 1979 as the word of their ferocity spread like wildfire. Now, over 40 years later with heavy music back in the zeitgeist via bands like Turnstile, new fans of hardcore punk and longtime fans of the legendary D.C. punk alike will be able to hear the first document by a band that struck like lightning.

EXPECTED RELEASE DATE: 11/6/26.

PRE-ORDER DISCLAIMER: Release dates are tentative and often get pushed back or cancelled by the labels. We try 100% to get you what you order, but there are times when we aren’t allotted enough of the item to fill all of the orders (and usually we won’t know this until the week of the release). In this case we will contact you as soon as we are aware that the order can’t be fulfilled. Special limited/indie exclusive releases can be ordered in multiples, but we can’t guarantee that we will be able to fill more than one copy of each said release.

Pre-orders are essentially “special orders”. This means if you place a pre-order, we are ordering it specially for you (many items we have up for pre-order are not items we carry in our store, and those that we do, we are ordering EXTRA copies to fill your pre-orders). Because of this, we cannot do cancellations or refunds after the pre-ordering time period has ended.
