Rancid is a 7" EP and the self-titled debut release of the American punk band Rancid, released in 1992. It was released by Lookout! Records, home of Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman's prior band, Operation Ivy. This is a very powerful recording of the band in their earliest days as a three-piece. Only released on seven inch vinyl, these songs have never been rerecorded on future albums. As of June 2008 this record is out of print and has not been domestically released on CD; however, its contents appear as bonus tracks on the Japanese release of B Sides and C Sides.
A common bootleg recording from these sessions exists named Demos From The Pit. It contains nearly twenty more songs, half of which are unreleased, the others are different versions of songs from their debut full-length album, Rancid. Many feature completely different lyrics, and music.
