Craft Recordings is pleased to announce a special reissue of Social Distortion's Live at the Roxy. Due out on June 29th - almost 20 years to the day of the album's original release date - the first (and only) live album from the rock 'n' roll icons, comprises a double-LP set and features a replica of the rare poster that came with the original 1998 pressing (featuring frontman Mike Ness on stage). The set includes such favorites as 'Bad Luck,' 'Mommy's Little Monster' and a cover of Johnny Cash's 'Ring of Fire.' Typical of Social Distortion's reputation, the band performs with a fierce energy onstage and Live at the Roxy captures this intensity.
