Youth of Today CCME – purple marble wax

Mouthpiece Discog – Green wax

Anyone know what was up with that Yellow Wax version of YOT CCME 12″ that was on ebay a bunch last year??? I cant find any pressing info on that

I really loved this record at the time (I didn’t have my own copy, but DFJ had a record player with a cassette deck, so he put it on tape for me when it came out and walked around my campus just rewinding it over and over), but I’m not so sure it held up as well as it could have. If it had been put out with the rejected cover he includes with test press, I don’t think I’d even be considering re-listening to it to see if it held up, quite frankly. The actual cover pretty much just screams hardcore, and when I look at it, it makes me want to put the record on and see if I still want to sing along and stage dive to it; a race car driver… not so much.

Shitty new cover art [x]
Shitty new mixes [x]
Bumming you out [x]
But like the HC rejects we all are, we all ordered these when they came out and even though we hated them, we all got even bummed out when we found out there were 2 colors of WNITA to search after. Now a days I think most of us wised up and you can probably scoop these all up for cheap.

I don’t know jack about Sunn or Earth. In fact, while writing this up, I can’t recall if I should classify them as sludge or doom metal. I don’t even know if that’s accurate.

Here’s what I do know.

Marcus is a chill dude from the UK. Over the years, him and I have sent many items across the ocean to each other. We’ve traded extensively over the years. One time, I even met a guy at a bar in Boston in order to facilitate a record purchase for Marcus. Good times. Despite having emailed and traded for 7-8 years (maybe even more), we’ve never once met in person. That’s how it is these days, courtesy of the internet.

Check out the rest of his auctions here. It’s obvious that Marcus genuinely loves vinyl. And if those auctions don’t prove it, check out his blog dedicated to vinyl.

It’s happened to me a few times. Cough … Sweet Pete … Cough.

Regardless. everyone loves this album. Spaudling didn’t over play it and ruin it for everyone else. And as long as you move the needle off the player before the poem hits, you are golden.

Wishingwell colored vinyl is hard to come by. I’ve never owned any. Not even an Insted LP on white. I’d love to own some UC on colored vinyl. Maybe one day.

The seller lists this item with a $30 Buy It Now.

Bane 7″ grn sXe Converge Have Heart Verse test press?

If you really thought it was a bane test press, would you set such a low Buy It Now price? No, I don’t think so. Seriously, give me a break. Quit trying to trick kids into buying your record based on assumptions you obviously know are not true.

As for this EP, it was released in 98 or 99 by The Life Recording Co (Dalbec’s label). It is a 4th press that was limited to 400 (I think). 100 of the records were stamped, the rest were not. The green vinyl varies a lot too. Some green is a super dark, while others is super light. I haven’t seen any translucent ones, but I wouldn’t doubt that some exist.

??? on green

No, I never saw them live. No, I probably never drove long nights listening to them.

BUT.

I think I spent hours in my room listening to these albums. It was a very time and place band for me. Nothing Feels Good got constant play in my dorm room. Must have been good for those melancholy afternoons.

Maybe I’m not missing much on the live show front. That’s fine by me. I’ve got Kitty Pryde, and Nightcrawler too … yeah, I mixed bands. You know what I’m saying.
