a few years back they were selling those extra covers on ebay…every time one sold, another one came up. i wanted to get one just to frame and never did.

fyi there are a lot of kids lp covers floating around less the vinyl. I have come across a bunch myself. One time Malcolm Tent put one on his head like a hat for a while before he tossed it into the trash. Lulz.

i’ve heard a rumor that Porcell was the source of that ‘kids will have…’ Ex-Claim! bootleg.

I dont have any X-Claim records (yet?) but I did recently get an almost pristin unused sleeve for The Kids Will Have Their Say from Choke. When the record was pressed they had some extra sleeves and Al gave it to Choke because he was in the picture on the cover.

Pretty awesome even though there is no vinyl.

hi veterans,

i have one question. i recently got a bootleg version of SSD KIDS WILL HAVE THEIR SAY, and GET IT AWAY. im just curious, as to how many of these bootleg version are around/pressed? there is no way i can get the original pressing, so bootleg is the best i can do. so, any idea guys?

thanks.

you’re right about the ‘My America’ cover. i don’t think i’ve seen one without any shelf wear.

PS I think the ultimate X-Claim rarity is finding a sealed/in-the-shrink copy of My America, that thing gets worn so easy due to crappy cover printing.

The only ones I know for sure are SSD Kids (2000, mentioned in an old issue of Conflict) and Get It Away (I heard 4700 from a reliable source). There are two pressings of FU’s Kill For Christ, so presumably 2000+ of those. The rest… your guess is as good as mine.

Over the past 16 years of living in Boston, I’ve had at least 5-8 copies of all except DYS, which I’ve only ever had 2 of, and the old timers always say that one was the rarest. It’s anyone’s guess though… I asked Al SSD once about the pressing numbers, and he just said it was “classified information.”
