Anthem is the fifth studio album from ska-punk band, Less Than Jake. I thought this was long out of print and unobtainable new, but I was proved wrong thanks to Cobraside. This import-only picture disc looks nice but does have sound quality problems that, through message board research, appears to be not uncommon. Please take that into account before purchasing.
For those who enjoy bad English, here is the Leech Records' official description (I made no changes to this):
Since the Skapunker from Florida released their first longplayer „Pezcore“ on Asian Man Records in 1995, Less Than Jake is the band to collect Vinyls and Compilations. Until today they are more than 100 releases of Less Than Jake and now we got another rarity for you
„Anthem“ was released in the year 2003 by Warner Music on CD and since then, the CD still makes his turn around everyday in the record player of Leech Records! This Picture-LP release is a limited edition of 500 copies! Melodic, variedly, straight. From Ska to Punk, from sing-a-long songs up to bang of melodic punk. “Anthem” is more than one of the best Skapunk albums ever! (Leech Records)
