80-85

'''80-85''' is the 1991 compilation album by Bad Religion. It features a list of tracks from their early recordings before the come-back of the 1988 release ''Suffer''. Some say that this is actually a repackaging of the band's 1982 debut full-length release ''How Could Hell Be Any Worse?''. Some members of the band were upset that the album would never be released on CD or that it was out of print during this time.
''80-85'' includes the entire ''How Could Hell Be Any Worse?'' album as well as two official EPs (''Bad Religion'' and ''Back to the Known''), plus three tracks from the ''Public Service'' compilation. ''80-85'' does not include their second album, ''Into the Unknown'', partly due to its drastically different style and unpopularity, but is mentioned in the booklet.
On April 6, 2004, along with ''Suffer'', ''No Control'', ''Against the Grain'' and ''Generator'', the compilation was expanded and remastered edition of ''How Could Hell Be Any Worse?'' containing the same material. As of May 2007, ''80-85'' is now out of print.
