Screeching Weasel is the debut studio album by the Chicago-based punk rock band Screeching Weasel. It was originally released on vinyl with a limited pressing of 1,000 copies in September 1987 through local independent label Underdog Records and was the band's only album with bassist Vinnie Bovine, who was fired the next year.[1] Screeching Weasel documents the group's early years as a hardcore punk band, with the music being heavily influenced by bands such as Adrenalin O.D., Angry Samoans, Circle Jerks and Black Flag.[1]
The album gained the band a minor local following and its initial pressing sold out quickly. However, Underdog decided not to repress the album to save money for a release by label owner Russ Forster's own band Spongetunnel.[1] With no other label interested in repressing it, Screeching Weasel went out of print for the next decade until VML Records re-released the album on CD in 1997. The CD version was remastered by Mass Giorgini and featured a full-color version of the album art as well as several previously unreleased bonus tracks.
