3 more classics from across the Pacific by jbil. These dont turn up in the US much but are all over the place in the EU/Japan. Theyre nice and cheap right now and are all killer records so if I were you I would jump on them and you could have Madball’s entirely LP discography for under $30.
Do you have these NYHC staples that firebythesea78 is selling? No? Well, maybe you ought to go ahead and snatch em up now. The bids are still low, so jump on in now! You know that eventually, one of your friends is going to come over and go,
“Hold up, you don’t have a copy of the New York Crew 7″ or the first Madball 7″???? What are you? A POSEUR????”
That’s not anything you want to be called. Act now, and act fast to solve your poseurdom.
I am just going to pretend that it is still Tuesday, and this is just a really late post. I just stumbled upon this auction from leewayyy and couldn’t ignore it. Anyway, it’s Madball, and y’alls love Madball. This was their N.Y.H.C. 7″, the CDEP came out on Thorp, and the vinyl on Martyr. Y’all remember Martyr Records? Hmmmm… Hardcore labels are a funny thing sometimes. Killing it one day, and gone the next.
For the second week in a row, hardcorex74 is bring the goods for one of our patented Test Press T___days. In this case, it’s Test Press Tuesday, and we’re kicking it off with a pair of Madball test presses. Alas, they’re for records that, if I’m gonna be honest, I don’t much care for them. The N.Y.H.C. ep at least has For My Enemies on it, which is a certified banger for sure, but the rest of the songs from that record and from Legacy have never stuck with me. Still, Madball test presses are a great way to start the day…
It’s funny, we’ve given a TON of attention to xxxevilxxx666′s auctions to benefit victims of the Japanese tsunami and earthquake, and sung his praises for also donating his own time and money, yet in our excitement to do so, we somehow have left his numerous vinyl auctions completely alone. That’s a total boner on our end, especially since it means records like this one go unnoticed:
If you don’t know why this is significant, go and learn.
Here you go. In one simple BIN, you can corner the market on your NYHC stock collection. Seriously. Great deal. Krakdown, Supertouch, Madball EP, Outburst, Absolution and the Uppercut LP. These are classic NYHC items. Some would call them second tier, but they’d be high. Madball recharged NYHC after the youth crew bands moved on (Shelter …). And On Thin Ice? You’re moshing. Hit that BIN, it’s worth every penny. nygore has your back.
Seller curlcon151 has a pretty nice package of records, flyers, and zines here for you to grab for what seems to me to be a fair enough BIN of $160.
The full list is in the auction, and it also includes the SOIA ep on Rev, a 2nd GB ep, and Madball’s Ball of Destruction ep. He doesn’t really go into detail on pressings though, that would be the only concern I would have before making an offer. He also has this second set of lots up, this one consisting of 21 lp’s with a $120 BIN:
All the pics are in sets of two, and I’m not gonna post 10 pictures, so you’re just gonna have to go check the auction to see what’s there…
Heres two more from jstarnold but this time, unlike with the Maximum Penalty LPs, it looks like you cant just head to the Reaper store and grab both these singles.
Here we have 2 copies of the Madball ‘Real American Hard Core’ 7″ from Reaper Records. You get the Black/Blue mix vinyl which was limited to 1000 and the Gold vinyl limited to 200.
If you’re just interested in the music you can head over to the Reaper Records site and pick up the solid black or the solid blue vinyl versions.
I havent heard it yet, but the new Madball record came out yesterday. I went to the Newbury Comics near by work, but I bought the Arson Anthem cd insted of Madball.
Also I know that last month Morgado made a post saying that the 3 best Madball records are Set It Off, Demonstrating My Style & Hold It Down. My personal favorte Madball record is still the original Ball of Destruction 7″.
The copy that jerryf828 is selling is still in the original plastic sleeve so it has the sticker explaining about how young Freddy is on the record. I think having the sticker makes the record even cooler!
Seller madashellgc brings us the DMS edition of the FRANK 151 book/zine, but I can’t help but notice that he doesn’t provide any sort of accompanying soundtrack…
Fortunately, hauntedtownrecords and mnl_studios have some under rated Madball records to go with it…
Madball covering Killing Time. ’nuff said.
The last great Madball record. I like a song here or there off the stuff that has come after, but Hold It Down is up there with Set It Off in my eyes.
chrisreject from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania is selling a bunch of records and a 4 color screen print set up!
This is from the Martyr Records pressing of the Madball NYHC ep. It was originally a CD ep released by Thorp Records, but they licensed it to Martyr to press on vinyl. They did a clear (110), white (330) and blue (1150) copies and there were about 20 test presses.
As far as I’m concerned, this is fact, and you can not sway me.
And before someone tries to argue it, yes, the 7 inches are classic. But they’re also both composed of the same songs, most of which are covers, and the best of the originals are reprised on Set It Off. So I can’t in good conscience count them.
Early Madball is some of my favorite Madball. You cannot go wrong with any track off of Droppin Many Suckers or the Ball Of Destruction EP. It’s impossible. And the Set It Off LP makes my list of top favorite hardcore LPs of all time. That’s right. It’s that good. Call me controversial, but I’m a big fan. Peep that Roadrunner Poster. Not too shabby. Not the usual promo poster you see for that album. I’m feeling it.
Make sure to check out balduin44′s other auctions, as he seems to start his auctions at a reasonable price. Not sure why everyone else thinks $50 is a good opening bid for a Madball EP. Not wise.
xxxevilxxx666 seems to have a consistent flow of quality records for sale. I just have to remember to check his other auctions from home because I can’t view them since anything with XXX is blocked by the firewall on my work computer… bastards!
the NYHC ep was released by Thorp Records in 2004, but since Thorp only releases CDs (at this point) they licensed out the rights to press it on vinyl to Martyr Records.
Martyr pressed 1590 copies (+ 15 test presses) including 110 on clear vinyl, 330 on white vinyl and 1150 on blue vinyl.
Madball ‘Ball of Destruction’ via Brookline, MA which means it was probably bought at a Newbury Comics store which is where I got my 1st Madball 7″ too!
Not a band that I love, but still a great record that I enjoy from time to time and you should too!
