Botch – We Are The Romans: Flippers Vs Opportunists

By Tre | Published 11/03/2011

WOW. There is a RAGING battle going on right now on ebay with these Botch records. Hydrahead just reissued their classic LP “We Are The Romans” on a crazy orange / white / blue / swirl / haze / mix that was limited to 200. And, who would have guessed, they became an instant flip hit on the ebay, where they seem to be going for about $100 a pop. But now, those flippers have competition with the the people that own the ORIGINAL 2 x LP that was also pressed on a similar color scheme, though just plain orange and blue. And they are coming out, guns blazing, all like, “Yo, don’t buy that lame reissue, buy the OG son!!!” Either way, it’s an expensive fight… Get some popcorn.

Moniquetotheunique has the reissue up with a $95 Buy It Now, no offers being accepted.

Modmaniac05 also has a $95 BIN, same deal, no offers accepted.

Young_lad22 has his BIN set at $110, and again, no offers. These people need to learn to wheel and deal.

Anewlanguageorg has the OG up in an auction, it’s at $30 with 3 days left, and the reserve has not been met.

H8ns8n also hates not getting his money’s worth, as his has 2 days left, at $31, and the reserve hasn’t been met either.

Pick a side, and join the fight! I know that a lot people are over the whole over-the-top vinyl color thing, but these reissues really look nice. Good work HH!

this is mosquito control

I used to work with Aaron, Clifford and Mike from ISIS and they were always awesome guys. Its awesome to me that they have taken the band as far as they have (and will continue to) because I saw them when they first started and and they were always cool. I actually hand screened a one off ISIS shirt for Aaron before their demo was even out yet. It was really just 1/2 a KISS logo repeated with the words ‘fucking metal’ under it, but I thought it looked cool and Aaron liked it.

Anyway, the mosquito is a reoccuring theme in the world of ISIS and this is a pretty awesome metal mosquito belt buckle. Not sure how limited it was, but Hydrahead usually keeps production numbers pretty low.

a SWARM of ISIS test presses

By Josh | Published 03/04/2010

three auctions for different variations of ISIS test press records. They are coming from someone in the loop either with the band or Hydrahead, but I’m not sure who. Definitly some cool stuff if you’re a fan.

1st auction is a test press for the double LP panopticon

2nd auction is a test press of only side D of the panopticon LP. Aparently there were lots of pressing plant issues when they were doing this record and somehow they ended up with a test press of only LP 2 of and one side was completly smooth.

3rd auction is the best one in my opinion. Its a complete set of test presses for the Oceanic Remixes volumes I-IV. The seller says there were only 8 test presses of volume IV so this one of 8 or less complete sets!
