Thoughts of Yesterday: 1981–1982
''Thoughts of Yesterday: 1981–1982'' is a compilation album of early material by the American hardcore punk band T.S.O.L. (True Sounds of Liberty), released in 1987 by Posh Boy Records. It combines the band's two EPs, 1981's ''T.S.O.L.'' and 1982's ''Weathered Statues'', as well as an early version of "Peace Thru' Power", a song that was re-recorded for their first full-length album ''Dance with Me'' (1981). The album's release stemmed from a dispute between T.S.O.L. and Posh Boy owner Robbie Fields that began when the band left Posh Boy after releasing ''T.S.O.L.'', moving to Frontier Records for ''Dance with Me''. Fields maintained that the band owed his label another EP, and withheld royalties from them as a result. The dispute culminated in singer Jack Grisham punching Fields in the face. Several years later, after Grisham and drummer Todd Barnes had both left T.S.O.L., a settlement was negotiated in which the band members received back royalty payments and Posh Boy acquired the rights to ''Weathered Statues'', originally released through Alternative Tentacles. Posh Boy combined the two EPs to create ''Thoughts of Yesterday''.
Originally released as an LP, the album was reissued on compact disc the following year with another Posh Boy release, Pariah's 1983 album ''Youths of Age'', appended as bonus tracks. It was reissued again in 1992 by Rhino Records, with the Pariah tracks replaced by the 1988 debut album of Grisham and Barnes' post-T.S.O.L. band, Tender Fury, which was also originally released by Posh Boy.
==Background==
The original T.S.O.L. lineup of singer Jack Grisham, guitarist Ron Emory, bassist Mike Roche, and drummer Todd Barnes released their debut EP, ''T.S.O.L.'', in 1981 through Posh Boy Records.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher = Posh Boy Records )〕 According to Grisham, the band had already written most of the songs that would end up on their first full-length album, but were distrustful of Posh Boy owner Robbie Fields and chose to put out an EP through the label instead: "We knew Posh Boy was gonna burn us, but we wanted to put out a record. So it was like 'Let's give him these (), and we'll save the good stuff for later.〔Blush, p. 93.〕 Shortly after the EP's release the band moved to Frontier Records for their first studio album, 1981's ''Dance with Me''.〔〔 This caused a dispute with Fields, who claimed the band had not honored their contractual commitment to record a second EP for his label.〔 "That chameleon () had me drink the sweetest wine of fraternal love," said Fields, "and with my next breath I tasted the bitter bile of betrayal as he unleashed the running dogs of hatred upon me."〔 The dispute culminated in Grisham punching Fields in the nose in 1982 outside a roller rink in Fullerton, California.〔
Several years later, Fields and the four original members of T.S.O.L. (Grisham and Barnes had left the band in 1983) worked out a settlement in which the band received back payments of royalties from the label, and Fields purchased the master recordings and publishing rights to T.S.O.L.'s 1982 EP ''Weathered Statues'', originally released through Alternative Tentacles.〔 Fields considered this "perhaps () greatest business coup" because a decline in popularity of 7-inch records during the mid-1980s allowed him to acquire "what (band's ) manager thought was essentially worthless material, that from the 7-inch EP. It had never occurred to the manager that I, too, knew that () were no longer viable. Within a few weeks we had re-packaged all of the old and new T.S.O.L. masters, including 'Peace Thru' Power' from ''Posh Hits Vol. 1'', and combined them in the new long play record, 1987's ''Thoughts of Yesterday''."〔
