Fruitpunch

By jb | Published 01/05/2011

statement-of-pride must have racked up a ton of xmas bills and is trying to raise up a ton of money to get the credit card companies off his back with all the stuff hes selling. This Floorpunch record is a little off though. 200 pressed on red wax but this one has a 3rd press cover with green writing instead of the correct 1st/2nd press cover with blue writing. Also the number on the sticker also looks like it bled out. Maybe the original cover got wet and messed up the number? Id say ask for clearer pics and ask questions before bidding. Maybe you can cop a deal though?

Division 1 Champs tour press BIN

By jb | Published 12/27/2010

I think rekone05john is aiming at the higher end of the spectrum with his BIN on this FP single. Still kinda worth it though as floorpunch continues to get better with age and your chances of copping one on gold are slim to none.

Stock Collection

By jb | Published 12/26/2010

New feature from me. I will be posting up periodically just those stock records you want or need or should have in your collection. Maybe they arnt worth a lot. Maybe they arnt the best record. Maybe youll never even listen to the record. But they are the kinda records that you wanna see when you are flipping through your box. Sometimes I will post shit just cause im curious to see what it ends for or the going rate is. If you dont like these kinda posts, too bad for you cause im gonna post them till i get bored of doing it :)

life_as_one brings us the Crucial Youth 12″. There was a time in the 90s when this was pretty hard to come by now – not so much. This record is worth it for the comic book alone. 2 days left with no bids and a low starting bid.

Division One Champs

By b. murphy | Published 12/04/2010

It’s been months (years??) since we’ve seen a gold vinyl Division One Champs up on ebay. And you know what, it could be many more months. Still nothing in sight. HOWEVER rekone05john has a few other Div1 Champ gems to tide you over. Up first is the excellent 98/99 tour press. New Jersey Crew. Rep it. This one was limited to 300.

And if you prefer color vinyl, you can’t go wrong with the blue vinyl. 2nd press out of 800. Not too shabby. Such a crucial record!

Purple Vinyl and Urban Legends…

By b. murphy | Published 09/08/2010

More fittingly, SUBurban legends, but I wanted the point to get across without too much head scratching.

By the time the Hands Tied 7″ had come out, Mouthpiece had been broken up for some time and there was a very different “feeling in the air.” Whereas Mouthpiece always served as the carrier of the torch for straight forward, straight edge hardcore in a time where slowed down songs and metal riffs were now the definition of hardcore. And let’s call a spade a spade, Mouthpiece wasn’t necessarily breaking any land speed records themselves. That said, there was a distinct difference in their sound than quite a few of their contemporaries, for better or worse, and that’s what will always define them as a cool band to me.

But still… when the needle hits the plate on the Hands Tied 7″, the energy bounces off the walls in a way that Mouthpiece rarely did on record. Here’s the rare Purple vinyl, limited to 300 copies. This was not an easy record to acquire back in the late ’90s, but over times has seen peeks and valleys as far as interest goes. Despite the recent shows and new ep, this one is only at $11.50 with about a day to go – an interested party might be able to grab this for a decent price.

On the other side, here is a distinctly NOT limited record, the Mouthpiece “What Was Said” 12″. Now out of print, this record did not come on color vinyl, despite it appearing on record want lists since the time of it’s release. The hard and fast (and perhaps readers can go into further depth) facts of this record pressing is black vinyl, a lot pressed. Is that 2000? Probably. 3000? Not sure. I’m not sure if anyone, including New Age Records owner Mike Hartsfield, knows for sure. That said, given the relatively recent discography on Revelation, I wouldn’t expect a repress and think for $10 you could do a lot worse than adding this record to your collection.

CHRONIC SICK – Cutest Band In Hardcore

By cooch | Published 08/23/2010

My buddy Señor Suarez is unloading quite a doozy here, hopefully to buy little Baby Mordicus a new crib.

As with most releases on Mutha, no one really cared about this shit until it was deemed “cool” earlier this decade by the collector illuminati, and even “cooler” in recent years by snotty young HC kids with flipped up hats and irreverent attitudes. Either way, this record is pretty awesome — the musicianship is several cuts above your typical hardcore record of the time, almost like if Johnny Thunders joined a hardcore band.

Supposedly there were only 300 of these made, but they’ve been turning up quite frequently in recent years and rumors abound that Mark The Mutha is still sitting on copies.

If you were smart…

LOLz at the list of all phoenix2443‘s auctions and this being one of the few records on black wax. Not a cut on the seller at all but jeez do records even come on black anymore?!? All in all a great 7″ on any color. When I was in highschool I remember getting the lost and found cd and being sooooo bummed on songs like “broken” and “thursday”. All I could think of is what pussy’s they became. Little did I know that when I got older I would prefer those songs. Ah the ignorance of youth.
Note to labels – when you release 1000 records and 300 are on one color, 300 on another color, and 400 on black. Youve made your records uncollectable.

FLOORPUNCH demo

By cooch | Published 07/10/2010

Now that there’s an FP discography out, maybe everyone will start ditching their original tapes and vinyl, and this stuff can be had for cheap. Probably not though.

I remember I missed the one show in Boston when they were still selling demos, so I had to trade someone for a copy off of the infamous Rev trade board. I got ripped TWICE by people in CT who sent me bogus copies before I scored a legit one. One of them was SO bad, it was dubbed over one of those crappy neon yellow and pink Memorex tapes and when the FP tunes ended it kicked in to the first Only The Strong LP comp on Victory. The kid claimed he got it that way from Bill, and that “Bill must have dubbed it over an old mix tape.” Also the stamp on the insert was just xeroxed and colored in with an orange highlighter, so I think he actually meant Rick Ta Life and not Bill Punch.

Anyways, this copy is legit. My buddy Scot is selling it along with a bunch of other stuff, so check it out and scoop some decent records for cheap.
