Poison Idea TPT

By cooch | Published 05/10/2011

Lots of cool shit up this week from misfou over in Germany, including a TON of test presses.

Here are a couple of Poison Idea test presses on Bitzcore (also from Germany). They were the first label to reissue Record Collectors Are Pretentious Assholes, and this is a rare case of the reissue actually being better than the original — you get 4 extra songs (recorded for comps) and the mix is markedly better than the original Fatal Erection pressing. Not sure how many of these were made, but I’m guessing it’s a little higher than the usual 8-10 that labels normally get.

Dutch Courage was released in 1991 to thwart a bootleg of the same show, and isn’t the most exciting live release ever, but it’s still a cool addition to a PI collection. Nice that it comes with a cover as well.

Feel The Darkness

By cooch | Published 04/26/2011

Here’s a real corker from artpunkfool over on the other side of the pond…

I know this LP seems to be the status quo favorite Poison Idea record, but I’d have to rank it third behind War All The Time and Kings Of Punk. Probably the most big hits on this one though.

I feel like there have to be a ton of these tests out there, everything on Vinyl Solution was promo’d with them (even mentioned by the seller in the listing) and I’ve personally owned three copies. But still, it’s a test press of one of the best hardcore records ever, so have at it.

War All The Time

By cooch | Published 04/24/2011

A couple of years ago I decided to make a blog to document every Poison Idea pressing I could find and I started scanning records like crazy, but it all fell the wayside for whatever reasons. The other night I got the idea to actually put the thing together, and the (beginning) results can be seen here.

Anyways, here’s my favorite PI lp… I’m not sure how popular of an opinion that is, but fuck it, it’s the best. Here’s a copy for a measly five bucks, someone better buy this thing.

The seller, valutunes, has a lot of other cool shit up too, but unfortunately it’s not genre specific so you need to wade through 3,500+ auctions to find what you’re looking for. Have at it.

Poison Ideas.

Couple Poison Idea lp’s here from our current favorite seller, zero.street, one a UK pressing of Feel The Darkness and the other an og Kings of Punk on Pusmort. Such good stuff this guy has been bringing. Hopefully he ups some more good stuff for next week!

Poison Idea/Necros.

By morgado | Published 01/22/2011

The last time I posted about these two records, Cooch and I went back and forth over whether or not I was picking on the seller. Well, I have nothing to pick on state-children for, because he does everything I like. Clear pictures, low starts, etc. All the stuff that, to me, makes for well done, and from the looks of things, deservedly successful auctions.

Tapes, Tapes & More Tapes!

By Josh | Published 01/17/2011

This is another one of those tape collections that looks like it could have been mine with the exception of the Rollins tape because I had that on CD.

I actually got a promo of that Rollins Band album from Henry when he came to the Newbury Comics warehouse for a visit/promotion stop. His record label bought everyone in the warehouse pizza and we got to hang out with Hank. I got a copy of “Get In The Van” signed by him that day which I still have.

Two best things I remember about that day:
1. When we walked into the big conference room where all the pizza was someone said “The vegan pizza is at this end of the table” and Henry said “Yeah for all the pussys”

2. Usually when someone ‘famous’ came to the warehouse they would let them look around and if they found something they wanted they could have it free. I remember Henry being super psyched and taking 3-4 Wesley Willis CDs that he said he had been looking for.

barfight has a few more cassette lots up so if you’re into that check them out!

NA/Pick Your King.

By morgado | Published 01/11/2011

Another pair of high priced, “questionable” items from xundergroundx…

Now when I say “questionable”, I mean you should ask him a million questions, because he has a tendency to leave out need to know information until someone asks for it. He did it with the Pay To Cum he was trying to sell, he did it with Cause For Alarm ep we showed you yesterday, and if someone asks him about the NA 7 inch I bet that’s when he’ll finally mention that it’s 2nd press. The Pick Your King seems to have all the relevant info tho.

Punk staples

By cooch | Published 11/08/2010

Seller odder7 has a nice assortment of stuff up at the moment, and these are four LPs I think everyone should own… and you can’t go wrong with those 99 cent opening bids.

1. Poison Idea – Kings Of Punk
Maybe my favorite PI LP, so much so that I own at least 7-8 versions of it. A steamroller of an LP, the opening bass lick of Lifestyles is one of the most destructive sounding things ever. Original pressing on Pusmort.

2. Zero Boys – Vicious Circle LP
Increasingly-hard-to-find orig Nimrod Records pressing of this punkcore classic, if you can’t tap your toes to this record you probably don’t have a pulse.

3. Subhumans – Incorrect Thoughts LP
Like the Zero Boys, this one’s a great slab of tuneful punk just on the verge of hardcore (see also: DOA, Kraut, Personality Crisis). IMO the better of the two Subhumans.

4. TSOL – s/t 12″
Never really got into anything else by this band, but I really love this record. I saw them live maybe 4-5 years ago in Berkeley, CA and they still tore it up, I distinctly remember the bass player ripping his own shirt off Hulk Hogan style in the middle of the set without missing a note.
