Double vinyl LP pressing. Songs of Pain is the first album by folk singer-songwriter Daniel Johnston, recorded on a simple tape recorder and released on assette. This is the album's first time being pressed on vinyl. Back in the early 1980s, when the punk-rock DIY spirit was going strong, emerging artists found a cheap and efficient way of distributing their music-the homemade cassette. Sometimes very crude and low-fi, the tapes became a hallmark of instant indie cred. The erratic, troubled, and startlingly talented Daniel Johnston was one of the first musicians to really make a name for himself in this medium, and his first two tapes Grievances, A Little Story, Joy Without Pleasure, Never Relaxed, Brainwash, Pothead, Wicked World, Lazy, I Save Cigarette Butts, Like a Monkey in a Zoo, Wicked Will, An Idiots End, Wild West Virginia, Since I Lost My Tooth, Urge, Living Life, Tuna Ketchup, Premarital Sex, Don't Act Nice, Hate Song, Lead Belly Was An Outlaw, I Love You (I'd Like to Read You Some Poetry), Why Don't You Love Me True, I'm a Rambling Kinda Guy, Sleepy Lagoon, Natalie Queen of Weirton, Golly Gee, You Need a Reason
