''New Hope for the Wretched'' is the debut album by punk-metal band The Plasmatics, fronted by Wendy O. Williams. Jimmy Miller, former producer of The Rolling Stones, was the initial producer for the album. He had a heroin addiction from the day he arrived in New York City and he was virtually useless to the project, nearly bringing the whole project down with him. Stiff Records fired Miller, and the album was finished by engineer Ed Stasium and manager Rod Swenson over in England. In addition to songs like "Corruption" and "Living Dead", linked to TV smashing and automobile destruction, the song "Butcher Baby" featured, as with the live shows, a chainsaw sawing through a guitar in place of a guitar solo. Stiff released it as single and it peaked at No. 55 on the UK Singles Chart,〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Plasmatics - Butcher Baby )〕 with the album reaching the same position on the UK Albums Chart.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Plasmatics - New Hope For The Wretched )〕 The liner notes for the record proudly proclaimed that during the recording of the cover of "Dream Lover" (originally by Bobby Darin) the musicians were isolated from each other while recording and, during the instrumental break, could not hear what each other were playing. The album was re-released in 2001 by Plasmatics Media, Inc. with bonus tracks and the ''Metal Priestess'' EP on the same disc. In 2002, Cherry Red Records re-released the complete album. In 2014, Let Them Eat Vinyl re-released the album (including the 2002 CD bonus tracks) as two coloured discs. ==Track listing== All tracks written by Danny Axeman and Richie Stotts, except where indicated ;Side one #"Tight Black Pants"- 1:47 #"Monkey Suit" (Axeman, Wes Beech) - 3:27 #"Living Dead"- 1:36 #"Test Tube Babies" - 1:54 #"Won't You" - 2:28 #"Concrete Shoes" (Axeman, Chosei Funuhara) - 2:55 #"Squirm" (live) (Axeman, Beech) - 3:29 ;Side two # #"Dream Lover" (Darin) - 5:41 #"Sometimes I..." - 3:58 #"Corruption" - 2:39 #"Butcher Baby" - 3:32 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New Hope for the Wretched」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
