To be honest, I had never heard of this record until the B-side, “Guns On The Right”, was booted as the opening track on the great KBD-styled No One Left To Blame LP back in 2001. The A-side, “Learn To Say Goodbye”, teeters somewhere between Clash-esque reggae influenced punk and off kilter post punk. Still a great song, but nowhere near as blazing as the B-side. “Guns” is a great blast of almost-hardcore, and leads off the NOLTB comp with a bang—I was immediately floored and needed to find a copy. A year later I got a one from my friend Jeff in Chicago, which he paid 25¢ for, and gave to me in return for burning some old NYHC cassettes of his onto CDR’s (which literally took 5 years, sorry dude). Unbeknownst to me at the time, this record comes in a (highly-elusive and extremely cool looking) screen printed picture sleeve, which was missing from the copy I got. Still, not a bad deal on my end, but I’d still love to have a sleeve. Check out both songs here.

Expect this one to hit the $1,000 mark with ease.
