'Best Riff Only' is a collection of The Krayolas early work that was pulled from the vinyl releases. This early archival effort is not as sonic as the 2020 release 'Savage Young Krayolas' but captures the spirit of the band and the somewhat thin sound quality of the early singles.

about

‘Savage Young Krayolas’ is the surprise historic preservation effort of 2020. The recently unearthed space suit album pays tribute to the late Jett Bass, Sal Dana and Freddie Herman who perished in an unsanctioned time travel experiment. Egos and alter-egos combust as soon as the needle touches down -- a rock’n’roll requiem that bends time.

Box Records teams up with Saustex Records on this new 180 gram Vinyl, CD and digital collection that unearths the Krayolas 1980 debut album “that could have been.” This singular Texas act thunders with the fun bliss of then-contemporary acts such as Cheap Trick and Go-Go’s while echoing heroes The Dave Clark Five, Doug Sahm and early Kinks. Play it loud and revel in the carefree, antihero beginnings of these Chicano rockers on a collision course with fruterias, border beheadings and political piñatas.

Restored! Remixed! Remastered! For the first time the original 1970s and 1980 two-inch analog, multi-track source tapes are revealed complete with liner notes, including ‘I Just Wanna’ which pairs the Krayolas with Augie Meyers of the Sir Douglas Quintet on his Vox Continental combo organ.
