My Fire Burns On On On

I added a third copy of Strifes My Fire Burns On to my collection a week or so ago.

This is an original New Age Records pressing on black vinyl that I scored on the Bay. I wasn't particularly seeking this out but couldn't resist adding the original press to the two other versions I have. It's a littke scuffed and what not but it's not too bad considering it's age now.

 

I'm tempted to see if I can complete the set now although I have no idea how many other versions there are or how hard they are to get hold of for that matter.

 

 

I've included the little group shot below too.

 

Witness a Rebirth

I've got time before work and this record is next to me so as usual it's another post way out of synch with stuff I've received hah!

I used to love Strife back in the day although I never really got into their last
album Angermeans. I can't even remember why. Was it rushed? Did it suck? Maybe I should investigate that one again.
Anyway, this is their new album and first for 11 years the aptly titled Witness a Rebirth. I've only had a few listens but I like it, I don't know if it's a rebirth more a return to form and it picks up nicely where In This Defiance left off.
Igor Cavalera plays drums on this thing and I'm sure if memory serves he did some drumming on In This Defiance too.

Now this thing at the point of pre-order was pictured and described as white with a 'red splodge', but as you can see this is definitely more red with a white haze, I guess that's just how some turned out. This colour is limited to 100 copies. Nice looking gatefold too.

New Age Strife

A while ago I was bemoaning Flatspot Records delivery speed. They had the audacity to take over a month to deliver me my lovely goods. Well New Age Records make Flatspot look like over night couriers. 6 Months it's taken for these two Strife records to get to me, I only bought them on a whim in the first place.

It's two copies of the My Fire Burns On 7" - The '77 Pink version limited to 77 copies and the Grey with Yellow version of which 350 were pressed.

I'm hoping as some way of a 'dude, sorry it took 6 months' they did throw in some stickers and these two 7"s.

Last Of The Believers, Paper Ships EP on what's actually a really nice thick clear grey.

Amendment Eighteen, This Years Enemy on grey. Which judging by the ring wear has been hanging around New Age Towers for quite some time.

I've never heard of either band, they might be awesome, I'm guessing they ain't.
