Description
Few bands embodied the raw spirit of American rock & roll like Flat Duo Jets. Fronted by the late, great Dexter Romweber, the North Carolina duos frenetic energy, primal guitar tone, and unfiltered swagger became the missing link between Gene Vincent and Jack White. Recorded in 1989 during sessions for their iconic debut album, the 13 tracks on Boogie On Your Head! capture the Flat Duo Jets at their peak, being loose, wild, and unstoppable. These arent outtakes but alternate realities of that debut: equally vital, equally ferocious, and left unreleased only because there was simply too much fire to fit on one LP.
Originally issued in a limited deluxe box set pressing for RSD 2017 and out of print since, these recordings return for Record Store Day 2026 as a limited edition RSD First pressing of 1,500 copies on rose-splatter colored vinyl, complete with an exclusive fold-out poster.
This release marks the first standalone vinyl edition of Boogie On Your Head!, lovingly curated by Propeller Sound Recordings as a companion to the bands self-titled debut. For collectors and fans alike, its a chance to experience the full scope of the sessions that launched one of the most mythic cult bands in American garage rock.
Dexter Romwebers passing in 2024 reignited appreciation for his seismic influence, spanning from Jack Whites early sound and ethos to Cat Powers haunting minimalism to Neko Cases fearless individuality. Boogie On Your Head! serves as both a tribute and time capsule, capturing the essence of a band whose rawness inspired a generation of artists.
This is a 2026 Record Store Day Release.
