Last Rights – Chunks 7″

By Justin O | Published 11/30/2011

headcoatt from down under has got a great slab of wax for sale. I feel as though this piece of the Choke discography outshines his previous bands, Negative FX and his later band Slapshot by a lot (and Stars and Stripes). “Chunks” b/w “So End Our Night” is a 1, 2, punch and if you have the No Guts, No Glory Last Rights LP there are some other good bangers on there as well that could have made a real good E. There’s less than a day left on this piece of vinyl and the reserve is not yet met. Check It Out

for Veterans Day

By Josh | Published 11/11/2011

clearly these are 2 great albums that I would post on any given day, but I put them together today not so much because Choke sings on both of them, but because of a 2 songs in particular.

‘POWER AND THE GLORY’

‘VFW’

Happy Veterans Day everyone.

“Squeeky Clear”

By Josh | Published 08/21/2011

The Taang! Store always has some great records on eBay its just that most of them are way overpriced for what they are or they are just really high end records, but once in awhile they put up an auction thats a pretty good deal… like this one!

Negative FX self titled LP on “Squeeky (Fromme) Clear” vinyl. The first Negative FX LP I bought was actually one of the clear vinyl copies. I think I got it at In Your Ear on Thayer Street in the late 80′s and I know I played the hell out of it! I actually still have it too!

The colored vinyl copies are represses, but they were done so long ago that they are just as nice to have as the black vinyl, plus they look cooler. The pressing was approximately 500 each of Red, Blue, Gold/Amber and Clear. If you dont already have this one I think the BIN is a decent price even though the cover is damaged. Since its from Taang! the LP has probably never been played.

Negative FX goes yellow?

By Josh | Published 08/20/2011

Looks like the Taang! Store got ahold of some of the Negative FX reissue LPs.

This is not from the ‘Atkins Amber’ aka ‘Negative FX goes gold’ press of about 500 copies, its actually much rarer. This is from a Reflex Records licensed ‘discography’ pressing of of 1000 total with 800 on black, and only 100 on pink and 100 on yellow.

Usually I’m first to admit that the Taang! prices are high, but I think that based on it being limited to only 100 the BIN price isn’t to bad here.

Negative FX Goes Gold

By Emil | Published 08/01/2011

This LP vinylbuyer549 has for sale looks good enough to eat. Read up my best friend Flex! on the info for this and it looks like this is the 1989 reissue on color vinyl. I once heard that some joke pop band called NO-FX got their name from this band. Rumors are too much sometimes!

I like this LP, but I like Last Rights a lot better. DO WHAT YOU WANT! HA HA HA

Nazis & Manson & Punk Rock Oh My.

By morgado | Published 02/23/2011

Looking at these auctions from zero.street, it occurs to me just how messed up hardcore and punk have made my sensibilities. It’s the only explanation I have for my fascination with imagery involving Nazis, Manson, and assorted other sketchy things: all the 80s fliers and record covers and pictures of punks with swatzis shaven onto their heads warped my fragile teenage mind. Thanks punk rock.

the Choke discography…

By Josh | Published 09/09/2010

solutionrecordsx has a bunch of CD lots up and a few LPs for sale.

This lot ends later today and its pretty cheap considering its 6 CDs. Currently for less than $2 a CD with about 13 hours to go you can pick up most of Jack ‘Choke’ Kellys finest work in hardcore.

1. Slapshot – “The CD” which is out of print and includes all the tracks from ‘Step On It’ & ‘Back on the Map’
2. Slapshot – “Old Tyme Hardcore” the Taang! version
3. Slapshot – “16 Valve Hate” the Lost & Found import version
4. Slapshot – “Greatest Hits, Slashes And Crosschecks” the original King Fisher import version which was released before the Bridge 9 version
5. Negative FX – “Self Titled” which also includes the 6 songs from the Last Rights recording session.
6. Stars And Stripes – “Shaved For Battle” this was only released on CD by Taang! (any ‘Patriot Records’ versions are bootlegs), but there was a jewel case & a digipack version. This looks to be the digipack.

Six great albums for one low price… get into it!

we ain’t gonna stop… fuck you!

By Josh | Published 08/02/2010

lphound has a bunch of cool stuff up including this Taang! Negative FX LP. One of my favorite hardcore records… its fast and angry just how I like my Boston hardcore!

You know what this record is so I’m not gonna go on and on about it. Maybe you have a colored vinyl copy from the later press or maybe you just have the Reflex Records repress. Well now you can own an original black vinyl copy! Low opening bid and it ends soon so hop on it!

1. SCREAM ‘This Side Up’ LP on dischord records
2. NEGATIVE APPROACH ‘Tied Down’ LP 2nd press SEALED! on Touch and Go
3. NEGATIVE FX ‘discography’ LP on Reflex Records [black vinyl limted to 800]

NFX BOSTON HARDCORE!

By Josh | Published 06/14/2010

trashamericanstyle still pushing out some awesome records. I’m sure by now you all know I have a soft spot for Boston hardcore and that Negative FX is one of my favorites. I finally have all the color vinyl versions of this LP, but the blue one was the 2nd hardest for me to find (Amber took the longest) but I finally got a mint copy that Choke had in his basement.

I was talking to Dave the original drummer of NFX last week and he voiced his displeasure with the front & back cover art of this LP. Since the LP came out after the band had already broken up it was basicly put together by Choke & Curtis. Dave said… “I would have NEVER
agreed to have such hippie/drug scum such as Charles Manson
and his hippie drug addicts on the front and back cover of this
LP”

This is the ‘Buse Blue’ vinyl version of the LP from the color series, which also included ‘Helter Skelter Red’, ‘Squeeky Clear’ & ‘Atkins Amber’, limited to about 500 each. Reflex Records also a color vinyl repress a few years ago that came on pink and yellow vinyl limited to 100 each.

Negative FX – Fundamental

By Josh | Published 05/30/2010

Currently fishingpompey is selling only one record, but if your a collector of Boston hardcore then it very well may be a record you need or perhaps have never seen.

Back in the early 90′s Taang! licensed out some releases to different lables for pressing outside the US. Roadrunner/Emergo did releases from Slapshot, Bosstones, Maelstrom, DYS & Poison Idea. A label in Poland did a cassette only realese (theres a joke in there somewhere) of ‘Step on It’ by Slapshot. And Fundamental Records in the UK did the Keith Levene 12″, the Kilslug LP and the Negative FX LP. They are all tough to find, but I think this is probably the most desirable. They pressed between 1000-2000 but they dont pop up very often and it took me awhile to find one (If you have a test press of it sell it to me now!).

If you’re a NFX collector or Jack Kelly superfan, dont sleep on this record!

Charlie Don’t Surf!

By Josh | Published 05/13/2010

I’m a huge fan of this record (because its awesome!) and I love the color vinyls from the 2nd press. There was ‘Buse Blue’, ‘Atkins Amber’, ‘Squeeky Clear’ & this one, the ‘Helter Skelter Red’. Each color was limited to about 500 pieces.

If you only have the more recent reissue on Reflex Records (on black, pink or yellow vinyl) then this is your chance to pick up one of the originals!!

Violent Minds – Manson 7″

By Josh | Published 03/20/2010

I dont know to much about this record, but its kind of a Negative FX tribute sleeve and I think thats pretty cool.

Violent MInds – self titled 7″ on Deranged Records. This was a preorder only sleeve limited to 100 copies.

I think this was a 2007 repress of the 7″ and that it was originally released on My War Records around 2004.

Sorry I dont know much about this record… yeah…

Charlie Don’t Surf!

By Josh | Published 02/14/2010

but he obviously brings the mosh!

This recording session was not meant to be the NFX LP, it was just a demo tape recorded in an 8 track studio, but the band played a total of 5 shows and then kind of fell apart before they could go back to a 16 track studio to record the LP. The songs were recorded at Radiobeat Studios in 1982 and were shelved after the band broke up. Choke formed Last Rights who only managed to play 1 show and release a 7″ (Taang! #2) and then in 1984 the Negative FX ‘Radiobeat tapes’ finally saw the light of day as Taang! #5, the first LP put out by the label.

A total of 3000 on black vinyl and about 500 each of red, blue, clear & amber.

BLACK VINYL…

CLEAR VINYL…

Government War Plans – LP vs CD

By Josh | Published 02/13/2010

Government War Plans is a collection of Negative FX demos recording at pratices and a few house party shows in 1982. Its really raw and the recording on some tracks is not that great. Theres actually a spot in one song where someone must have recorded over the original tape because another song cuts in for a few seconds. All that being said… its worth checking out.

The LP version was released by Distortion Records which I think is/was run by Dave Brown who played drums for NFX. Then I believe it was licensed out to Moulty Records who put out the CD version.

Usually I prefer to get the LP version of something (unless I’m going to get both), but with this if you’re only getting one I recomend getting the CD. It has an extra track on it thats 6 minutes of assorted clips of Choke from his radio show on Emerson College radio. Some live comercials, song talk ups and concert anouncements including ‘the official debut of Negative FX’ and an anouncement about the break up of Negative FX.
