Condition: EX (With zine insert)
Description: Released in 1982 on Posh Boy, Rodney on the ROQ III was the third compilation curated by Rodney Bingenheimer, the Los Angeles DJ who championed punk and new wave on KROQ radio. Featuring underground bands from the SoCal scene, these compilations gave exposure to groups often ignored by major labels. The original zine insert added DIY commentary and visuals, tying the record directly to the punk ethos of self-published media. For collectors, this LP is a snapshot of the early ’80s L.A. underground and a rare artifact when found complete with its insert.
