Trailblazer is a live album by the American punk rock band All, released in 1990 through Cruz Records. It was recorded in July 1989 at CBGB in New York City during the band's tour to promote their second studio album, Allroy's Revenge. The album was titled after a brand of portable toilet used by the band while on tour.
The album was recorded July 18, 1989 at famed punk rock club CBGB in New York City's Bowery neighborhood during All's tour in support of their second studio album, Allroy's Revenge (1989). The show was part of a New Music Seminar showcase and was observed by Jon Pareles of The New York Times, who remarked that the band "had hard-core fans diving from the stage as other audience members hummed along with guitar lines [...] All's songs move at a furious pace but can stop on a dime. In high gear, the band suggests a sunnier version of the Ramones, while some of its newer songs have the yearning tunefulness of The Replacements. All's blaring guitar chords and a crisply explosive rhythm section only make good tunes better."
Prong frontman Tommy Victor served as recording engineer for the live taping. Upon All's return to their hometown of Los Angeles, the recordings were mixed from September 11–13 at Third Wave Recording in Torrance, California by drummer Bill Stevenson and guitarist Stephen Egerton, who both served as record producers.
