New York Thrash

New York Thrash is a hardcore punk compilation album released by ROIR in 1982.

Considered a definitive document of the early New York hardcore and late 1970s punk scene, New York Thrash features rare and otherwise unreleased recordings, including the first recorded material by the Beastie Boys (also on their Polly Wog Stew EP) as well as material by Bad Brains. Original artwork and cover lettering by Bob Giordano.

The album was originally released in cassette format with liner notes by Tim Sommer, but was reissued on CD with two bonus tracks in 1998.
