SUPERBOWL SUNDAY: Back to Back

By Melillo | Published 02/05/2012

blackandread is selling a red vinyl version of Underdog’s Vanishing Point. Everyone loves Underdog.

Just for fun, I tried to find Mental covering Back to Back since it was at least on this record, but instead I found this gem, which isn’t on this record, but yeah. Featuring Scace bass lines and straightedge Greg.

vitaminhedgehog is selling record that needs to come home. It needs to find it’s way back across the Pacific Ocean. For the Pete’s sake. For the sake of Blastmaster KRS-ONE. For America.

In the peaceful snow…

By Melillo | Published 01/26/2012

I lived in Boston for a long time, and I never stepped foot inside the Man Ray. Until April of 2005 that is, when I went and saw Death in June, a band that I had only listened to a few times. It’s been seven years since then and DIJ haven’t played another show in the USA, so I’d consider it a good choice to have gone. Also because DIJ has become one of my favorite artists and listen to them all the time.

Also in attendance that night were members of The Hope Conspiracy, Downpour, and it’s possible that Boyd Rice was there as well.

Their newest record Peaceful Snow was a pleasant surprise, considering it didn’t feature their signature 12-string guitar. This 7″ record is a single off the LP on limited edition red vinyl.

7 Seconds New Wind on Red

By mcs | Published 01/15/2012

I can’t deny it, I’m not really a big 7 Seconds fan. Tried to get into em a couple of time but just didn’t really ever get hooked. But I’m pretty sure someone out there is gonna be interested in this one. the1234gorecordsstore is selling a nice looking copy of the ‘New Wind’ LP on red vinyl. Flex says that there were circa 25,000 copies pressed, with only 200 on red. That’s less than one in a hundred. Only a few hours left and this one is only on $15.50. I didn’t find one of these on popsike so no idea if this will go high or if someone is gonna get a bargain.

Where The Red Things Are

By mcs | Published 01/11/2012

straightray continues to offload his collection this week, and this one has only 5 hours or so left and it sitting pretty at only $20… although the reserve has not been met. This is the red vinyl pressing of the ‘New York Hardcore – Where The Wild Things Are’ compilation. This was put out by Blackout Records circa 1989, and is at least the second or third best NY hardcore comp made. Some great bands and great jams on this. You get Outburst, Raw Deal, Sheer Terror, Norman Bates And the Showerheads, and a cheeky Gorilla Biscuits song tucked on the end. I’ve never actually seen a red vinyl copy in real life, but I’ve heard from plenty of people that the red ones are all really thin vinyl and most were warped. Not sure if this is true or not, but this copy looks to be in pretty good shape to me, and I’d be all over this thing if I didn’t have bigger fish to fry this month.

Integrity 1st 7″ on Red

By mcs | Published 01/08/2012

baosgarden brings one of the most saught after Integrity records there are, the ‘In Contrast Of Sin’ 7″ on Victory Records on red vinyl. Depending on who you believe, there are either only 100 or 200 of these out there. I personally would lean more toward 100 seeing as it does not pop up that often, and a lot of big collectors I have known over the years either didn’t have one or couldn’t get one. It’s a tough find and can go for a tidy sum. This one is sitting at $51 with slightly less than 24 hours to go, although the reserve has not been met. Who knows what the reserve might be or how much this could fetch, but you can bet someone has their eye on this bigtime.

Sick Of It All – Red 7″ (with some black in it)

By mcs | Published 01/01/2012

A total Rev classic being offered here by straightray. There were lots of these, although somehow I still don’t own one in a regular sleeve. Sometimes you can get one of these for a decent price, unlike some other Rev color pressings. Perhaps because there are hundreds of these things out there, or maybe because SOIA are still going so they don’t have quite the same legendary status as Warzone or Chain? I don’t know, I’m only speculating. Anyway, this copy has a little bit of black in it too, which may or may not make it more desireable.

I’m still holding a spare one of these that comes in the rarely seen photocopied sleeve, which has some black specks all over it. You can see some pics on my blog. If you want to trade for it then get in touch.

Final Pressing insanity? We’ll see…

By mcs | Published 12/28/2011

Only 4 hours left on these two ‘final pressings’ that Rev released circa 2001. I remember that when these things came out it seemed vinyl really was on it’s last legs. I guess Rev never figured that ten years later they could easily press hundreds more of these things to a new market. And since this year saw a post final press of the Youth Of Today 7″, I could imagine further pressings of both of these things could follow at some point. And if it happens, and history is anything to go by, then no doubt everyone will be trying to buy up ten copies so that in ten year’s time they can punt them on ebay for $300 each.

everythingmust321go looks set to do well from their current batch of auctions. Will be interesting to see how much these two go for given recent insane prices on these particular pressings:
