Chain of Strength – What Holds Us Apart

By Doug W | Published 03/11/2012

With all the different versions of this record out there, whether it’s because of different labels, colors, rejected presses or special covers, Chain of Strength’s What Holds Us Apart has become one the most collectible straight edge hardcore records out there. Oh yeah, the record also just happens to rule, but you knew that already.

Seller somethingoldsomethingnew48 has one piece of the puzzle for you if you are trying to put together a collection or just need one because you need one. This one up for grabs is a second press from the First Strike UK pressing.
The red color scheme with the black vinyl was one of the better looking First Strike versions. Maybe the third press on clear vinyl with green test was better, but not by much.
You know things are happening when you get a separate European pressing. I could only dream of global success. Prestige Worldwide! The first word in entertainment! (Go watch Step Brothers. You can thank me later.)

Another Fine First Strike Records Release

I’ll give you one million space bucks if you can name ANY other release from First Strike Records. The sticker on this Chain Of Strength had me laughing (click through to see GIANT pictures). I dredged my memory and couldn’t come up with anything. UK heads, what have you got for me? (shit, majority of one did a release on First Strike, didn’t they?) Someone must know. Then grab this clear ep from selfmadesoul. 3rd press, out of 500. Not bad.
