Jawbreaker Unfun on CLEAR!

By jb | Published 01/24/2011

Another hit fromadversewind. You never see this one on clear for sale. The last one that sold on ebay went for $400 bucks. This one is a classic that no one seems to let go. I was stoked when I picked up a black copy at a flea market a couple of years ago for $6. This is another one that will be real interesting to see what it end ups going for

Sick of It All rarest version?

By jb | Published 01/17/2011

Did chogoking put up the rarest version of the SOIA RSD 2010 7″ without saying so outright? He just says “Heavy card-stock glued outer sleeve version”. Is this the “high gloss” version? Is that the old insert? I cant tell in the pic I dont know. Personally I would rather have the gilman street version. It just seems like a desirable version even though there is more.
That price gets higher and higher. People love this record. Same seller has 2 up right now this one and one that only $6 at the time of me writing this

Rev Collection – SOIA record store day

By jb | Published 01/13/2011

Hate shitty listings like this with no info but if you missed the one from last week. Here is your next chance

probably this version -> 293 old fold-over covers with band name in red and old insert

Rev Collection – YOT

By jb | Published 01/12/2011

I think this goes for pretty cheap. I picked up a 2nd copy for less than $20 a couple years ago. I would be surprised if the price skyrocketed.
love that mustache on the insert

Disengage
1000 on clear wax

Free Spirit

By jb | Published 12/31/2010

One of my favorite records of the year! What is not to like about this record?? If you havent heard please do yourself a favor and seek it out. I believe the first pressing is all sold out. It was 700 on red and 300 on clear. This being the more rare version obv but you cant go wrong either way. Remember this is all about the music not the goods. andywkf doesnt like this band anymore probably thats why hes selling a record that just came out not too long ago?

Rev COllection – Sick Of It All – RSD

By jb | Published 12/30/2010

When this came out I was bummed I missed out on the ordering window from Rev due to time difference and then being super stoked when I logged back in a few hours later for shits and giggles to see it back in stock due to cancelling of orders of people who ordered more than one(greedy jerks). Although it wasnt the most rare version I got the one I wanted the most(though I would have been happy with any copy) which was the gilman street cover. it just looks cooler :)
I dont really see a need to track down all the different cover variations of this one.

500 on clear

Mental rec release

By jb | Published 12/29/2010

Mental record release on clear out of 100. All th covers were hand spraypainted the night before and day of the gig in the back room of Lockin Out HQ right down the street from the show. I remember that whole apartment reeking the rest of the day. What a fucking gig. 1/23/03! Much respect to the DIY made covers that are not some cheezy rip off thrown together in photoshop. I dont think this comes up that often so you should probably snag it before I decide I need doubles

Snapcase Sunday

By b. murphy | Published 10/24/2010

It’s Sunday. It’s fall. It’s cold out. What better way to spend the day than watching football and listening to Snapcase? It doesn’t get much better than this. Give me a coke zero and some vegan chili dogs, and I’ve got the perfect day. Make sure to check out batfuk’s auctions. He’s got some Buy It Now steals. And you can scoop up a majority of your Snapcase needs in one go; combined cheap shipping is a plus too.

Designs For Automation. Can’t say I ever really got into this one. It sort of flew above my radar. Gold wax and the sealed blue wax. Not too shabby.

Go ahead and grab the test press from module-media while you are at it.

The End Transmission LP … this was way after me. Victory Records #175? Wow, so far out. This one comes on the limited edition clear vinyl with that weirdo sleeve (who came up with that design anyway?). It also includes the special EP.

If the clear vinyl isn’t limited enough for you, maybe you’d prefer a test press … again from module-media.

Steps. Fuck. I’m moshing. If this band had never released anything after this EP, I would still consider them one of the greatest. Listening to these songs gives me chills.

Apparently those people don’t know what stage diving is …

Yo Tom, I Love You!

By b. murphy | Published 10/22/2010

I don’t know who theapostle24, aka Tom is, but I know that AP loves him. That’s touching. Now you have to figure out

a) if they were really friends, why would Tom be selling this very personalized item?
b) if Tom is just a fan, why did he want an AP autograph? AP is cool, but he’s no rock star. Real down to earth, chill dude.

It appears that AP sold all the LPs that were on Shop Shogun, but there are still some EPs and prints. Go scoop them up!

We Need More Side By Side Covers

By b. murphy | Published 08/20/2010

Over the years, I’ve seen a lot of covers. A shit ton of Youth Of Today covers, some WarZone covers, a few Straight Ahead covers … but I don’t think I’ve EVER seen a Side By Side cover. Does Alert do one? They need to. Someone needs to. Now, I don’t recall this EP actually have a SBS cover on it, but it should have. I also remember the vinyl being described as a different color than what corkinhurst calls it. Hahah, it was a good one. Also, don’t sleep on the rest of the seller’s auctions. This is a harder set of EPs than his last few rounds. Very good stuff.

East Meets West

By b. murphy | Published 08/10/2010

Hardcore 1990!

Check out this under appreciated gem from unholybloodlust. The East Meets West comp on Nemesis Records. Nemesis Records #4. Just a great little comp. I don’t think any of the tracks are comp exclusives (Wall Of Hate, Just Can’t Hate Enough, Injustice System … all on LPs by the bands), but bringing together all of these artists on one piece of wax is a crowning achievement. You could hand this to a young coremin for a starter course on the core. A little bit of everything for everyone. I wish they had got an Insted track instead of the Carry Nation, but heck, beggars can’t be choosers.

And with this auction, you get the clear vinyl AND a test press. Pretty cool. Of course, just like New Age Records, Nemesis Records didn’t seem to have any definitive pressing info for either of these records. Test press counts vary greatly. If anyone has any detailed info, let me know. I wonder if Big Frank knows?

Thanks to @javjavjav for pointing this one out to us.

Granted, the Simpsons AND Calvin & Hobbes may be pushing it on the cartoon front. How about some cartoon consistency?

Scratch the Surface

By jb | Published 08/05/2010

In the final hours of delapasion‘s auctions a ton of gems are finishing. I always used to want this record. I may actually have it but I dont have my records in front of me to check. I remember seeing SOIA at the Tune Inn around when this record dropped and I remember that show being nuts. So packed. I went with Ed Heley. This is a solid LP and I would be proud to get it on color. If im not mistaken the vinyl bonus track for this record is a Straight Ahead cover. I dont know how many are pressed on clear.

Does EVR have vinyl pressing info anywhere or is it all word of mouth?

Rev Collection – Better than a G on clear

By jb | Published 08/04/2010

This round of delapasion‘s auctions are coming to and end every shortly. Record prices are so funny these days. A Carry On lp on black is (at the time of writing this) going for more money than this record. This record dropped right before record collecting really took offf in popularity. I remember a bunch of friends getting these at a show from a distro which seems odd when now you can only get color straight from record labels. Such is life. I remember when this dropped too that the hype surrounding BT1K was ridiculous. I lot of people were bummed cause it didnt sound exactly like YOT. Its not a bad record. Sunshine is a great song to dive to live.

Background Music

By b. murphy | Published 06/08/2010

Oh man, this record is sooo good. Background Music. Released in 2001 on Equal Vision records. The first pressing came on 4 different colors: clear, maroon, maroon cross and black. The cross one was a friends only type of press. Bummed I never tracked one down. Still sitting on my clear and maroon copies though. Great album. Seller tony000666 seems to have a ton of gems so get into it.

Fun fact: the turn out for backups on the Background Music LP was so overwhelming, the studio required two mics to accommodate all the people. It was also overwhelming in the mix so on most songs, one mics input was saved while the other was thrown out. D’oh.

Mates Of State

By b. murphy | Published 05/09/2010

I was introduced to Mates Of State a few years back. I’m pretty sure it was by Pandora. I had been surfing for Matt & Kim like artists when I wound up on Mates Of State. Now this band is NOT hardcore whatsoever so don’t get it confused.

However, they are a shining example of great indie rock. I love that female fronted indie rock sound. Not too laid back and not over the top with energy. Just a good drive with a few haunting tones. Plus the indie label that does all their tunes, Barsuck Records out of Seattle, WA has turned me on to a TON of other great sounding artists. Rilo Kiley, Harvey Danger, Menomena, Chris Walla (solo stuff), Say Hi … And you can find some of those bigger acts on this label too. Everything from Nada Surf to Death Cab For Cutie to They Might Be Giants.

I suggest looking into this band AND supporting this indie label. Good stuff going on here. Feel free to pick up this out of print color vinyl while you are at it.
