"1984" is a crucial, '80s hardcore document that has been painstakingly remastered from the original tapes using an all-analog process; Neon Christ guitarist William DuVall made multiple trips to Nashville to one of the few remaining studios maintaining the vintage technology to play and process the audio. Side one of "1984" features the original Neon Christ 7" EP, and side two contains four songs recorded on labor day 1984 including "Ashes To Ashes," which was included on the International Peace/War compilation released by MDC's R Radical Records.
