Our Gang demos
Couple of great tapes here from my man adversewind, ending tonight and still both under $10 as I write this. First up is Our Gang’s classic Uprising demo from ’88, nine songs of ripping hardcore that always stood out to me because of the sheer speed, something that wasn’t as prevalent in this era of [...]
SSDecontrol 2-fer
Seller 33eyez has been liquidating a really nice collection of classic American hardcore records and printed goods over the past few months, and he just launched a nice new batch of goodies for everyone to get their greasy little mitts on. Although these aren’t my two favorite X-Claim! releases — the #1 and #2 spots [...]
Wind of Pain
UK seller enid-and-becky just popped off a great list of international thrashers, all starting at a measly $1.50 with very reasonable shipping rates. I’ve already posted about Bastard in the past, and don’t have much to add, so I’ll just say that unless you are some creepy Rev-obsessed shut-in, you need to own this record [...]
Double O TPThurs.
Ex-Extorts guitarist “housatonic” has been leaking some pretty cool stuff out of his collection lately. I can’t say this is one of my favorites in the harDCore canon — imo this record occupies a spot somewhere in the murky depths of “good but not great” DC stuff like the Iron Cross 7″ers or the Artificial [...]
Soundhouse Tapes
sporttauchhund brings us the ultimate holy grail of metal 7″s, Iron Maiden’s debut single from 1979. This record has it all — self released limited edition, best Maiden singer (Dianno), classic Dave Murray leads straight out of the gate, and rough ‘n tumblin’ versions of two of the best Maiden songs (Iron Maiden, Prowler). I’ll let [...]
Wacky Blue-Jinks
Endofanear (a great store in Austin, TX) brings us a record that I didn’t even know EXISTED until a couple of years ago when it popped up on ebay courtesy of an ex-member. You don’t see a lot of limited color pressings of early 80′s hardcore records, but the story goes that AOD pressed up [...]
Potential Suicide
Another crucial DC platter from housatonic, this time it’s the first release by sorta-core/sorta-punk masters Black Market Baby. I’m a big fan of tuneful proto-core like DOA, Kraut, Toxic Reasons… and these guys rank right up there with the best of them. Side story (kinda mentioned in the SOA post): a couple years ago me [...]
SOA for TPT
Here’s a nice slice of wax from housatonic, aka ex-Meatmen guitarist Lyle Preslar. Normally I think test press collecting is pretty boring, though I do think it’s cool when they come with proper sleeves and inserts — it makes them slightly more desirable in my book. What’s not cool though (for me anyways) is when [...]
Let’s get real, real gone
I’m not much of an autograph hound, but this copy of Nervous Breakdown from vintagevinyl kinda cracks me up with Ginn’s “GETTIN REAL REAL GONE” inscription. The jury’s out on whether or not these red cover copies are the second press as typically documented, or if they’re actually a 3rd or 4th version of the [...]
US of Oi! BIN
Seller surf80 brings us a nice copy of the classic US of Oi! comp on Link Records, at a pretty decent BIN price. If you’re a NYHC completist, this comp has a weird one-off recording of WarZone’s classic “Don’t Forget The Struggle”, which doesn’t sync with any other recordings I’ve ever heard of this song. [...]
Is This My World?
Might as well make it three X-Claims in a row (and the three best, at that) with this great looking copy of ITMW from seller amerbs. I have to disagree with the post below though and say that this and My America are better than Get It Away, but really you can’t lose with any [...]
Subject to My America
Kind of a weird little 2-fer here courtesy of brodies… I’m not quite sure why he wouldn’t just sell them separately given the nature of the rest of his auctions (not to mention these records have absolutely nothing in common other than they are both hardcore bands), but maybe someone can sneak in the back [...]
Pick your Pick Your King
It’s no secret that this is basically my favorite hardcore record ever. I think everyone should own a copy or six, and here are a couple to choose from: Seller butchcass0 brings us THE version to own, for true ballers only. I’m sure I’ve posted this before a hundred times (too lazy to check) but [...]
(Beep) Christmas
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xEopHCtEUo”>the
Christmas is just around the corner, and here’s the best punk Xmas record* courtesy of robase. My friend Suarez has an actual picture sleeve for this record, which I have never seen another copy of. A killer drawing of Santa flipping the finger, which looks like something out of the back of an old issue [...]
Real men don’t eat pollywog stew
On to the B’s from robase… I have to admit, I’ve never been a huge fan of either of these records. However, I do appreciate their place in the pre-HARD era of NYHC, and I’m happy to own both of these platters. Interestingly, both bands have future members of the Cro-Mags… og Beasties singer John [...]
