Still Down

Just a load of random records ive picked up over the last month or so.

Vision Of Disorder - Still

Truth be told I don't know why I felt the need to buy this record. I mean I know it like the back of my hand and have like three versions of the 7" release. But when I realised this was being released on 12" for the first time for the 20th anniversary I couldn't help myself. Love V.O.D!!

200 copies of this ridiculously described Grey Vinyl with Aqua Blue, Halloween Orange, and Black Splatter.

Rotting Out - The Wrong Way

Loved the bands Street Prowl effort from a couple of years ago but it took me an age to get round to nabbing a copy of this record. Think this is supposed to be 'hot pink' vinyl but it just looks red to me. 800 on this colour anyway.

I see from the back cover the band are still rocking their own merch...these guys just don't give a fuck!

Into Another - Ignaurus

Carry on there's nothing to see here, didn't have this record on wax so picked up the reissue from a while ago.

108 - 18.61

It takes a brave band/label to use the much overlooked bile colour vinyl. They've tried to throw us off the scent if you will by calling it 'Opaque Green' but who are they kidding? 700 pressed

I like this record though, so it's good to have it join the record collection.

Integrity - Those Who Fear Tommorow

My Integrity record collection is pretty poor even in the LP section without even delving into the bands 7" output. I dunno, just another band that I had their releases on previous formats and haven't gotten round to replacing yet.

This dark blue press is of 225 and is from the third pressing of the record.

Praise - Lights Went Out

It took me ages to pick this record up and when I finally did only black remained . Ah well, cracking record though.

Hounds of Hate - S/T

Same could be said for this one. Another record that I just didn't get round to buying for so long. Another great record too, maybe in a year or so I'll get round to getting the release after this one too.

The First Step - What We Know

This is an absolute classic. I think this is a first press on solid blue of 850.

I hadn't listened to this for a good few years till I picked this copy up. Had almost forgotten how good it is.

Know The Score - All Or Nothing

I don't know where I first heard this band or how I came to have a CD version of this record back in like 2007 or so. But I liked it back then and still like it now. All or Nothing compiles all the bands released material. I still know nothing about them.

What's not to like layout wise?? Hardcore - more hot chicks please

Petitioning The Empty Sky

You wouldn't believe it but I'm pretty stoked on this pick up. I say you wouldn't believe it because as usual when I pick something like this up from a band I love and have loved for years, I don't have a lot to say.

Converge - Petitioning The Empty Sky

We're nearing 20 years since this was released. Sweet jesus where does the time go? I remember listening to this when it first came out like it was only a few months ago.

Rounding up the 45's

My LP and 7" intrays are out of control right now, and whilst I'm to the untrained eye looking at the piles and shaking my head, obviously dear collector friends I'm secretly happy as a pig in the proverbial!! More of those lovely slabs of wax to listen to and write about! Bonza!!!

Anyway, in a bid to at least get rid of a few of the 7"s I grabbed a small pile.

Slant 6 - What Kind Of Monster Are You?

My bro over at Donotconsideryourselffree (link at the side) posted about this one a couple of weeks ago and being a bit of a sucker for girl groups that rock I couldn't resist investigating.

Rise and Fall - Clawing

Love the look of this one, the artwork is great and the blue and pink vinyl looks sweet as hell too. Out of 300.

Magic Mazes - Magic Tommy Jackson

Jonah Matranga could release a LP of him humming 80's pop hits in the shower and I'd probably pick up a copy. Moral Mazes is his new group with J. Robbins from Jawbox. This is the blue vinyl version out of 300.

The Nation Of Ulysses - Birth Of The Ulysses Aesthetic

1991, Dischord Records, awesome!

Shai Hulud - A Profound Hatred Of Man

Usual story, bought it on CD back in the day so was missing from the record collection, found it cheap and corrected my stupidity! Shai Huluds best work?

Madball - Rebellion

Seems to have taken a ridiculous amount of time for me to get a copy of this one. White vinyl.

East Meets West

Sick Of It All, Killing Time, Vision - 1990 was a good year for the East and West to collide. Classic!

Hardcore 1990 - East meets West

Just black vinyl I'm afraid, however I know there's a Clear vinyl version. 

Forced Order

Feels like a slightly odd release from Revelation Records this one. Not that the label hasn't made some left of centre choices in the past I guess so maybe I shouldn't be surprised. Two raging tracks on offer with two other tracks of..noise. 

Forced Order - Retribution

There's a yellow vinyl version out of 300 but I've got no idea on this grey vinyl -700??? 

Start Glowing Today

I think like most of the good folk out there in blogging land, when Revelation Records re-issued this record on glow in the dark vinyl I couldn't resist.

Gorilla Biscuits - Start Today

Embossed cover with printed inner sleeve. Winner!

Through The Turnstile Into 2015

Hi gang! Sorry for the delay in getting a post done in 2015! A brother is busy like a mutha-fucker at the minute. Truth be told in order to keep this blog going for the foreseeable future I'm probably gonna have to take to just posting pictures of the records I buy or something. I just don't have time to sit down and write stuff at the minute. Not great reading but bear with me.

So anyway...

Turnstile - Pressure To Succeed

So we're on to the fourth pressing of this record and I'm completely fine with that 'cos frankly I fucking love these tunes. This is the purple version out of 1000. I like that Reaper have changed the colours of the cover for each pressing.

They've changed the centre labels front and back too which again is a nice touch. This is the white/purple version out of 500. Truth be told neither of these are very purple, I've noticed recently a lot of the Reaper releases don't look how they do at the point of pre-order. I guess that's because they do a 'artists impression' or something before they are pressed.

Green and Black version out of 300. For some reason this one has the 3rd press cover?!? Maybe they ran out I dunno, everyone else get theirs in this cover?

Shocking group shot I know, you'll have to excuse the massive amounts of glare. Still missing a few. Anyone help a brother out??
