There is no easy way to summarize
Fat Wreck's
Wrecktrospective Box Set,
so I'll simply use the label's words:
"After 20 years as one of the premiere independent labels, as well as punk rock's most admired,
Fat Wreck Chords has amassed an extraordinary catalog of artists and releases. Label founder Fat Mike
(singer/songwriter of NOFX) consistently adhered to an ethos of putting out releases that always
measured up to listeners' expectations. The result was an unspoken guarantee to fans through which
Fat Wreck Chords became a coveted brand name and the gold standard among punk labels. With multiple
releases from heavyweights Lagwagon, Propagandhi, No Use For a Name, Strung Out, Me First and the
Gimme Gimmes, Descendents, Anti-Flag, Against Me, and Rise Against, Fat managed to cultivate and
evolve a recognizable sound in music. Having issued more than 280 releases over the course of the
label's first 20 years in the business, it is a daunting task to try to encapsulate Fat's rich
history into a box set. Nonetheless, that is what we attempted to do with WRECKTROSPECTIVE. Three
discs and a huge booklet render a view of Fat Wreck Chords' journey along the path of its storied
existence. The first disc is a sampling of the label's greatest hits. The second disc contains an
array of all unreleased demos and rarities. The third disc is the limited release Fat Club 7" series
in its entirety. Finally, the booklet provides an oral history of sorts, chock-full of stories from
band members, as well as a timeline of all Fat's releases. The box set as a whole is an essential
piece of punk rock history, a must-have for fans, and a hallmark of the dominating influence Fat Wreck
Chords had in shaping a genre."
Fat Wreck is celebrating this release and they're celebrating hard by giving away some incredible prizes.
Vinyl test pressings, rare 7"s, and other great stuff. Seriously, this is an amazing contest so enter now.
