Jealous Again is a 12" EP that was the second release by American hardcore punk ring Blackness Flag and the third-e'er release on SST Records.
History [edit]
Although eventually released as a 12" extended-play 45 RPM unmarried, Jealous Again was initially intended to be Black Flag's starting time full-length album.[1]
Spurred on by the reception to their first release, the EP Nervous Breakdown, Black Flag entered the studio in late 1979 with new drummer Robo and original vocalizer Keith Morris to begin recording their first LP.[two] Bones tracks for all of the songs were cutting alive in the studio with Morris singing temporary song parts. Almost without warning, however, co-ordinate to bassist Chuck Dukowski, Morris "smashed his records and guitar and walked out screaming for a week," quitting the ring and refusing to complete the album.[1]
The band then recruited one-time Redd Kross member Ron Reyes, (credited on the tape as "Chavo Pederast" later on a falling out with the band) to be their new vocalist; however, guitarist and ring leader Greg Ginn felt he was not yet ready to record, and the tapes were put aside for several months.[1] After several shows with Reyes, i of which was filmed for the movie The Decline of Western Civilization, the sessions resumed, kickoff with Ginn overdubbing new guitar parts and so Reyes doing his vocals. Nonetheless, the initial attempts to tape with Reyes proved fruitless when he started walking out of the vocal booth, and sometimes the studio entirely, in the middle of takes. Reyes later quit the band in the middle of a live performance, derailing the sessions entirely for a 2d time.[ane]
Ginn and Dukowski were already talking with another former Redd Kross fellow member, Dez Cadena, virtually joining the band equally a second guitarist; when Reyes quit the group, Cadena was invited to take his place.[1] [2] The ring's producer/engineer Spot took an incentive and brought Cadena into the studio to record his own vocals for the album. Several tracks were done in one night with Cadena, only were shelved when Reyes agreed to complete the project. These new vocal sessions, according to Spot, went so smoothly that he could not resist jokingly asking Reyes, "Why didn't yous quit the ring before this?"[1]
Ginn and Dukowski decided to release v tracks from the finished Reyes sessions as the 12" EP known to Blackness Flag fans today, and elected to make a 2d attempt at a debut album with Cadena every bit lead singer.
Song history [edit]
Early versions of "Revenge" and "White Minority" with Reyes on vocals, along with an early version of the later on Damaged track "Depression", were recorded and filmed for The Decline of Western Civilization. In the movie and on the soundtrack album, Reyes defiantly dedicates the former song to the LAPD.[three] [4] Already, Black Flag (and many other Los Angeles punk bands) were getting harassed past law; "Revenge" was undoubtedly inspired at least in part by the ring's unprovoked encounters with them.
"You Bet We've Got Something Personal Against You!" initially started life as a Greg Ginn/Keith Morris limerick, "I Don't Care", recorded during the original album sessions with Morris on vocals.[1] When Morris quit the ring, however, he took both "I Don't Care" and Nervous Breakup'south "Wasted" (the only other Morris/Ginn songwriting collaboration under the Black Flag moniker)[5] with him and recorded them with his new ring The Circle Jerks on their debut album Group Sex activity.[six] Offended by what they saw as the misappropriation of ii Black Flag songs, Dukowski wrote new lyrics to Ginn'south music for "I Don't Intendance" and recorded what is essentially an assault on Morris and the Circle Jerks. "You Bet..." is as well the only time Dukowski sings pb vocals on a Blackness Flag song.

| Christgau's Record Guide | B[9] |
The Village Phonation critic Robert Christgau wrote in his review of the EP: "Black Flag are committed to rage, not in itself—I don't believe their 'I've got something personal against yous' even though I know it'southward true—but every bit a musical principle. Five songs, seven minutes, as high-sounding equally no wave, with a comparable relationship to punk precedents, which for L.A. are basic Brit. The sound is extreme and unique, all forced rhythm and guitar blur with no ingratiating distractions—no humor, irony, hooks, or (God knows) tune. Well, maybe irony."[9]
