Sublime – 40 Oz. To Freedom

Double vinyl LP pressing of the newly remastered edition of this 1992 album in gatefold jacket. 40oz. To Freedom is the debut album by the Southern California ska-punk band. Since it’s release, the album has proven to be a seller over time, moving over two million copies in the U.S. alone. 40oz. To Freedom’s sound blended various forms of Jamaican music, including ska (“Date Rape”), rocksteady (“54-46 That’s My Number”), roots reggae (“Smoke Two Joints”) and dub (“Let’s Go Get Stoned”, “D.J.s”) with British and American hardcore punk (“New Thrash”, “Hope”), and hip hop (as in “Live at E’s”). Sublime themselves credit a number of local reggae and rap bands from California for inspiration in their Thanx Dub. In addition to explicit mentions of artists like KRS-One and Half Pint, Nowell makes copious allusions to others through his lyrics.
