YES, the rumors are true.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the long-awaited archival releases from San Francisco's seminal punk legends CRIME! Originally released in 1976, this debut single was the FIRST punk rock single to emerge from the U.S. WEST COAST. As well as being wildly influential in America's HARDCORE movement, "Hot Wire My Heart" was made famous to a whole new generation by SONIC YOUTH's faithful cover on their classic "Sister" LP. The original 7" release is a highly sought-after COLLECTORS' item, and the single has been bootlegged several times. Here, for the FIRST time ever, is the original single, digitally re-mastered from the ORIGINAL SESSION TAPES!
