Bold – Final Pressing

By mikethemosher | Published 01/18/2012

Chances are you have seen the auctions that xuttermoshx has up right now because a good amount have been featured on this site and TTD, but I personally want to draw the attention to this release. It’s one of my personal favourites REV released. The musicianship is top notch. It ranks highly up there with BEYOND. It’s no coincidence that BOLD got arguably better when they added TOM CAPONE on guitar. This release is part of the FINAL PRESSING’s they did late 90s/early 2k to spruce up peoples collections with REV releases in limited colour vinyl.

At this time, I’d like to draw your attention to the diligent efforts that are being made putting information out there on REV on this forum (http://revcollectors.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=60), and take a peak at the discography of this release. Maybe you’ll be able to identify your copy of the black vinyl as 1st or 2nd press by the slight differences that are distinctly seen in the comparison photos.

Pretty nuts to think that there are less than 200 copies in this colour available. A good number of the original/final pressings were kept in similar runs. Hence the reason why you are probably noticing that the interest/value on these things has grown.

Peep this video that I recently came across. I don’t recall seeing much Bold footage with the Looking Back era songs. The quality is not amazing here, but it is definitely worth seeing/hearing for the true fans.

BOLD prices on REV Final Pressings

By mikethemosher | Published 01/04/2012

The proud to be straightray has had a number of very worth while records up in recent weeks. In case you haven’t noticed, there has been a huge increase on the going rate of Final Pressing versions of REV releases that originally dropped 10-20 years ago. Ray has got you covered if you’re looking to add this CLEAR yellow/gold edition. Looks mad nice.

On that new REV Collectors forum a dude on there put some charts together detailing going rates (x) over a period of time (y). If you’re holdin any joints or looking to get into the market, come on in, the water’s fine.

Bold Looking Back on purple

By Dave | Published 12/23/2011

Remember when I said I thought Bold had one good record? Well I wasnt talking about this one. Never liked it, never will. But I do LOVE the aesthetic of this record. Layout rules, vinyl color rules, labels on the record look awesome. The purple doesnt come up too much, its only of those early 90s Rev colors when they seemed to think nobody liked records anymore and only pressed 1-200 of things on color. Much like the grey SOIA 7″ I expect this to jump toward the end and earn straightray some bank.

If it were Thursday, I would call it Together Thursday

By Tre | Published 11/09/2011

…and that would just sound stupid, so I am glad it’s Wednesday. Got another one here from Good Ole Gern. Revelation Records number two, the Together comp. 7 inches of classic NYHC with Sick Of It All, Supertouch, Side By Side…and some other bands. Boom. Where “it” all started (after that Warzone 7″ of course…) Looks like I will have to refer back to the supposed Holy Grail of Rev collecting, the rev.txt doc. White inserts, look like the cover is one piece, can’t really tell, but the inserts don’t look like “obvious photocopies” so I guess this is a first press? Sounds good to me. Have at it kiddies!!!

Revelation Records Staples

By b. murphy | Published 10/29/2011

It’s a slow Saturday afternoon (damn weather), but these Revelation Records staples should heat it up some. And for once, aapjekoala didn’t start these auctions at ridiculous prices. Each of these is attainable. And worth bidding on. Have a look.

Looking Back On Wilson Wednesday

By b. murphy | Published 10/12/2011

Looking back on Wilson Wednesday, I now realize that my connections were worse than any Morgado has ever dreamed up. I would say they were better than this Bold LP being sold by xxxevilxxx666, though. I can’t get into this one. I love Crippled Youth and the Speak Out though. Love em. 206 on purple vinyl. Oddly, this one never seems to pop up. Here’s your chance.

Together comp on Orange vinyl

By Dave | Published 10/06/2011

Alot of auctions from incorrectthoughts lately. This time its a Rev #2 on orange vinyl. Not to be confused with the gold vinyl. This is ORANGE. Its got some battle scars on the back cover and what looks like some coffee stains on the insert, but its got Youth of Today on it so bid hard.
One thing thats always bothered me about this record is the paper thin cover and super thick insert. I feel like its a cover wear disaster waiting to happen.

Lots And Lots!

By morgado | Published 09/14/2011

Seller herheartofau just upped a bunch of record lots this morning, and there’s some cool stuff. I think the Revelation Records lot is the one most of you would be interested in to start…

…closely followed by the Outspoken lot.

There are also some good West Coast oriented lots up, featuring the likes of XChorusX, Carry Nation, Amenity, and Forced Down…

…and there are a couple other lots up as well that you can check out by looking through the seller’s other auctions. Be sure to check out the sick One Life Crew poster!

Lots of Lots.

By morgado | Published 08/01/2011

Seller live_hard has taken the time saving tactic of putting many of his records into lots. This is also probably going to turn out to be a pretty good money maker for him as well, since plenty of these are records that do well on their own…

Apologies for my extended absence btw. I had a show to play and a wedding to attend this weekend, and I drafted a whole lot of posts in hopes of being ahead of the game. But alas, the seller (who will remain nameless) was actually IN said wedding, and didn’t have time to set up the auctions I had drafted on his advance notice. I’m sure they’ll be hitting soon enough. See you tomorrow for Test Press Tuesday.

80′s Straight Edge. Boom.

By morgado | Published 05/30/2011

Kind of crazy how the “big names” in this series of 80s Straight Edge vinyl auctions from xuttermoshx are currently all skewing much lower than the likes of Wide Awake, Brotherhood, and Turning Point. Not like those are low sellers or anything, it’s just that I was totally expecting the Bold gatefold with poster to be the one climbing quickest.

Bold – Looking Back

By b. murphy | Published 05/29/2011

I can only imagine vitaminhedgehog saw the records and listings from aapjekoala before posting this Bold LP. Sure, it’s limited to 206 and yes, the purple is hard to come by … but no, the black streaks don’t make it a $230 BIN LP. The seller doesn’t appear to be a hardcore collector, as this is the only Revelation Records item they have. Everything else is Elvis and Beatles, for the most part. Hit the seller up, maybe you can swing a deal.

PS. kudos to whomever called that $440 Judge LP BIN years ahead of it’s time. I tried to pun up the title of this post along that lines, but couldn’t work it appropriately.

Bold – Orange & Pink

By b. murphy | Published 05/28/2011

People go goo goo gah gah over Revelation Records vinyl. It’s a thing to do. I do it, you do it. We all do it. But sometimes, things come along that have a “manufactured rarity” associated with them (thanks for the term, Cooch). In the case of the Bold EP, like the one aapjekoala is selling, we have a great example. Here’s the deal, and I’m sure most of you already know it, because you’ve already gone goo goo gah gah over this particular EP. The plant farted up. Yeap, that’s what it comes down to, the plant effed up. They were aiming for maroon (to match the cover) and came up with pink. They did 60 of those, and tried again. No plate cleaning, just straight over to orange. So there are some EPs with pink/orange swirls and mixes. Looking at just one EP is nearly impossible to figure it out. You can check Kev Finn’s handiwork over on Rev but I prefer the picture Dobek took. Head over to his blog to see all three EPs stacked up against each other. It’s an interesting one.

This EP appears to have some pink splotches. Maybe a few. Nothing to get too goo goo gah gah over …

The seller also has Bringin It Down on green vinyl. Fairly steep opener and a slightly bigger BIN. Have a look.

Stock Collection: Revelation Records

By b. murphy | Published 04/25/2011

When I was younger, I had one goal with my record collection: I wanted every pressing of Revelation Records 1-23. If you think about it, it’s less than 100 records (I wasn’t including test presses, and this was before the Final Presses or RSD presses). It may even be less than 75 records, but it’d be close. I did pretty well. I actually scored a majority of them from one seller (thanks Dickie). But over the years, many slipped through my fingers (first press GB EP with numbered b-side). It happens, especially when your focus changes. That’s what happened to me. I went from vinyl to tshirt. I think I made the right choice. But if you are like me, you really want to nail those first epic Rev releases. xuttermoshx has what you need. He’s got 3 stock items that you need.

“Limited” to 1000

“Limited” to 2000

Ltd to 312.

Stock Collection: Rev Color Vinyl

By b. murphy | Published 03/02/2011

Our boy Tre (or Uncle, whichever you prefer), dropped a bomb in the comments yesterday (Dave too). Turns out, these aren’t even his records. No sir. They all previously belonged to a Grandpa Warbucks. And he is selling them to fund his life of luxury and ease. You thought Tre was living the high life? You know nothing. Tre might as well be living in a ramshackle hut compared to this guy.

But you don’t care about the seller’s lifestyle do you? You just want to pad your collection. That’s fine. I hear that. Luckily, Tre’s got the Revelation Records goods that every collection can’t live without.

GB EP on yellow vinyl? Hell yes. There are a lot of these out there, so don’t go too wild here.
