Oh boy. what77fuk is sure to open another can of worms with this sale. Do you think ebay will drop it? I do. Most people don’t use this cover as the main picture on ebay. This guy. Not afraid. Not sure what Last Rights was thinking when they did this sleeve, but yeah, it’s historic. You decide how you feel on this one. Me? Love the EP, hate this sleeve.

Choke on 7 inches…
The grey vinyl of this 7″ dont pop up very often. Its limited to only 400 and its got the Steve Priest lables and the original foil Steve Priest sleeve. Its also available on blue vinyl, limited to only 200, but that one has the lables from the Vulture Rock pressing even though it still comes in the foil sleeve.

The Icemen Cometh is a great comp 7″ featuring Slapshot along with Pushed Aside, Hard Stance & No For An Answer. I assume this is the standard black vinyl and I’m not sure how many were pressed. I know that there were 500 done on clear vinyl which were mostly given to the bands that played the show.

The Firewalker 7″ came on black, white, red, yellow and blue vinyl. The blue is actually my favorite, but I actually just found a variation of the yellow thats more of a green vinyl. I assume the green is a transtional press from the yellow vinyl to the blue vinyl, but I’m not sure.

The Back to Back comp is from Lost & Found Records in 1995 and features Slapshot, along with Right Direction, Backfire, Damnation, Ryker’s & Bitter (Chris Lauria’s from Slapshots side project which also features current Slapshot drummer John Bean and the one and only Keith Bennett from Wrecking Crew). This 7″ came on yellow vinyl and black vinyl in this sleeve, but Rykers also did their own pressing of 300 on clear vinyl with a photocopied sleeve that they sold on tour.

the Choke discography…
solutionrecordsx has a bunch of CD lots up and a few LPs for sale.
This lot ends later today and its pretty cheap considering its 6 CDs. Currently for less than $2 a CD with about 13 hours to go you can pick up most of Jack ‘Choke’ Kellys finest work in hardcore.
1. Slapshot – “The CD” which is out of print and includes all the tracks from ‘Step On It’ & ‘Back on the Map’
2. Slapshot – “Old Tyme Hardcore” the Taang! version
3. Slapshot – “16 Valve Hate” the Lost & Found import version
4. Slapshot – “Greatest Hits, Slashes And Crosschecks” the original King Fisher import version which was released before the Bridge 9 version
5. Negative FX – “Self Titled” which also includes the 6 songs from the Last Rights recording session.
6. Stars And Stripes – “Shaved For Battle” this was only released on CD by Taang! (any ‘Patriot Records’ versions are bootlegs), but there was a jewel case & a digipack version. This looks to be the digipack.
Six great albums for one low price… get into it!
we ain’t gonna stop… fuck you!
lphound has a bunch of cool stuff up including this Taang! Negative FX LP. One of my favorite hardcore records… its fast and angry just how I like my Boston hardcore!
You know what this record is so I’m not gonna go on and on about it. Maybe you have a colored vinyl copy from the later press or maybe you just have the Reflex Records repress. Well now you can own an original black vinyl copy! Low opening bid and it ends soon so hop on it!
What ever we do…. We do as a crew!!
Last week we had a bootleg Last Rights 7″ coming out of Europe, but this week we have an original coming out of Wakefield, Massachusetts!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… this is my favorite hardcore record. I wont bore you with a long drawn out history about how it was suposed to be on XClaim, but I will make a request that if you currently own or know who owns the Last Rights acetates and/or a one of the 7″ test presses PLEASE sell them to me!
This one looks like its in great shape and its being sold by the original owner who was in an 80′s Boston hardcore band and sang backing vocals on ‘So Ends Our Night’.
NFX BOSTON HARDCORE!
trashamericanstyle still pushing out some awesome records. I’m sure by now you all know I have a soft spot for Boston hardcore and that Negative FX is one of my favorites. I finally have all the color vinyl versions of this LP, but the blue one was the 2nd hardest for me to find (Amber took the longest) but I finally got a mint copy that Choke had in his basement.
I was talking to Dave the original drummer of NFX last week and he voiced his displeasure with the front & back cover art of this LP. Since the LP came out after the band had already broken up it was basicly put together by Choke & Curtis. Dave said… “I would have NEVER
agreed to have such hippie/drug scum such as Charles Manson
and his hippie drug addicts on the front and back cover of this
LP”
This is the ‘Buse Blue’ vinyl version of the LP from the color series, which also included ‘Helter Skelter Red’, ‘Squeeky Clear’ & ‘Atkins Amber’, limited to about 500 each. Reflex Records also a color vinyl repress a few years ago that came on pink and yellow vinyl limited to 100 each.
Charlie Don’t Surf!
I’m a huge fan of this record (because its awesome!) and I love the color vinyls from the 2nd press. There was ‘Buse Blue’, ‘Atkins Amber’, ‘Squeeky Clear’ & this one, the ‘Helter Skelter Red’. Each color was limited to about 500 pieces.
If you only have the more recent reissue on Reflex Records (on black, pink or yellow vinyl) then this is your chance to pick up one of the originals!!
Coca-Cola… We Don’t Drink No Booze… NO WAY!
This is my favorite hardcore record of all time! Its only 2 songs, but it is true perfection in my opinion! This is a bootleg version, but at this point its tough to touch an original for under $100-$150 even in one of the ‘regular’ assorted live photo sleeves and a Hitler sleeve is easily $400+.
This is a bootleg from awhile back, put out by ‘God is the Devil Records’ I believe its from Italy. The majority of them were pressed on this lime green vinyl, but I have heard there are only 600. There is also a small number (I’ve heard 60) that were pressed on green vinyl with an assorted color splatter.
The original Taang! press of this 7″ comes in 7 different sleeves (not counting the different color paper or the back flaps) and were all on black vinyl (1000 copies & 2 test presses). There were only 6 knowns photos taken of Last Rights at the one show that they played. So when they pressed the 7″ they did 6 different sleeves using each live photo on 150 of the covers. For the last 100, Curtis wanted to do something special so he asked Choke to come up with something. Being the ‘button pusher’ that he is, Choke came up with the now infamous ‘Hitler sleeve’ and the majority of those were given away by the lable to other bands as they toured through Boston. I know the Misfits got them because the copy I have originally belonged to Danzig.
Anyway… enough with the history lesson! All the green vinyl copies of the bootleg come in the same live photo sleeve with the ‘Pre-Slapshot’ sticker on them. The splatter vinyl copies came in reprints of the ‘Hitler sleeve’.
Charlie Don’t Surf!
but he obviously brings the mosh!
This recording session was not meant to be the NFX LP, it was just a demo tape recorded in an 8 track studio, but the band played a total of 5 shows and then kind of fell apart before they could go back to a 16 track studio to record the LP. The songs were recorded at Radiobeat Studios in 1982 and were shelved after the band broke up. Choke formed Last Rights who only managed to play 1 show and release a 7″ (Taang! #2) and then in 1984 the Negative FX ‘Radiobeat tapes’ finally saw the light of day as Taang! #5, the first LP put out by the label.
A total of 3000 on black vinyl and about 500 each of red, blue, clear & amber.
Government War Plans – LP vs CD
Government War Plans is a collection of Negative FX demos recording at pratices and a few house party shows in 1982. Its really raw and the recording on some tracks is not that great. Theres actually a spot in one song where someone must have recorded over the original tape because another song cuts in for a few seconds. All that being said… its worth checking out.
The LP version was released by Distortion Records which I think is/was run by Dave Brown who played drums for NFX. Then I believe it was licensed out to Moulty Records who put out the CD version.
Usually I prefer to get the LP version of something (unless I’m going to get both), but with this if you’re only getting one I recomend getting the CD. It has an extra track on it thats 6 minutes of assorted clips of Choke from his radio show on Emerson College radio. Some live comercials, song talk ups and concert anouncements including ‘the official debut of Negative FX’ and an anouncement about the break up of Negative FX.
Last Rights Chunks EP
So that Hitler sleeve was out of your price range, or you didn’t want it in your collection? That’s cool and understandable.
How about this one instead?
It just appears to have the one sleeve, which is odd since most seemed to have a second sleeve. You know the variations and colors schemes.
Sleeve has some wrinkles. Certainly not mint enough for Luis’s collection, but would probably look nice in yours. Would also look nice following that Last In Line ep as you flip through your collection. Sort of a show stopper.
A Choke CD Collection for those With Deep Pockets
I like Slapshot. Saw them a few months back at Anchors Up in Haverhill. Really enjoyed myself. Same great live show.
I like Stars And Stripes. Saw them play a Back To School Jam many years ago in Framingham Mass. A fun night for sure. A great gig in general, but Stars And Stripes really notched it up.
I like Negative FX. Sadly, never saw them.
But $75 for 4 CDs is fucking brutal. $75 for 4 USED CDs is even worse. Add one without a cover and throw in $8 for fucking Parcel Post (outrageous really. Sellers like this hurt my soul), and you have a $83 auction that no one will EVER bid on.
Yo Moshua, correct me if I’m wrong, but this dude is cracked out, right?
Helter Skelter Red!
This is a classic Boston hardcore record that no collection is complete without! The ‘Atkins Amber’ seems to pop up less often then the others, but ‘Helter Skelter Red’ is my favorite. Scoop this up then find a ‘Buse Blue’ and a ‘Squeeky Clear’ and you’ll have the set.
Taang! says this pressing was limited to about 500 of each color.
Wake up Hank, we’re on the line…
There are a bunch of red & green copies of ‘Step On It’ that are perpetually in some eBay stores ranging in price from $60 to $100 so this isn’t something to jump on, but with such a low starting bid it could be a good deal. It’s in Germany & shipping is $15 so take that into consideration when you bid!
I already have 2 copies so I won’t be bidding on this one, but I’m still looking for a test press done by a plant other than Discmakers… anybody got one??
