BIG BLACK were born in 1982, instigated by Steve Albini, then a Sophomore at Northwestern University, a fanzine writer and a loudmouth. A six-song EP, LUNGS, was recorded on a borrowed 4-track for the price of one case of beer. Five years later, at the peak of their popularity, Big Black split. They never had a manager, a booking agent, a lawyer, or took an advance from their record company. They left a musical legacy dripping with power, cynicism and a sense of humour that was blacker than black. In Seattle, at their final gig, they smashed up all their stuff. In 1992 Touch and Go Records, through Southern Studios re-released the entire Big Black catalog.
