Loose Nut On Test Press Tuesday.

By morgado | Published 06/14/2011

Seller tfg352 has a handful of test presses up today, but one stands head and shoulders above all the others: a test press of Black Flag’s “Loose Nut” that was given to a radio station as an advance copy. Loose Nut is probably my favorite of the later Flag records, so I find this especially neat. It even comes with a letter of “authentication”, in that it comes with a letter from SST indicating what tracks they felt would make for good radio play… definitely a worthy record for any Test Press Tuesday, let alone a slow one that we need to make the most of.

It’s About Luv. And Test Press Tuesday.

By morgado | Published 03/15/2011

I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if it turns out that Cooch knows who distortnewyork is. It just seems likely that he’d know a seller with an SST test press up for sale, even if it’s for a record as wishy washy as HR’s solo effort “It’s About Luv”.

When it comes to quality, the “transition between Rock For Life/I Against I” sounding A side of this is def about luv for me, but the B side of this is straight up hate. Terrible, sub-Marley imitation jams. Blecch.

Dicks Brigade

Couple of HC classics here from deathtothesickoids…

I’ve harped enough about the Dicks LP on here before, so just go ahead and buy this thing because it’s a classic and it doesn’t turn up much. As for Youth Brigade, this one’s been a want list topper for ages, and doesn’t turn up that much. I guess the band wasn’t happy with the initial release so they axed some of the songs and repackaged it with new cover art. Only 800 of these ever made it out, and this one looks nice… so what are you waiting for?

Nervous Breakdown

Cool copy of Nervous Breakdown here courtesy of recordmecca. I could do without all the big-shot record dealer hoopla, but you really don’t see to many copies of this record turning up with the original folded baggie and sticker. Cool that it has the original price tag too.

Stains LP – BIN stylee

By cooch | Published 01/31/2011

One of the most underrated American hardcore records ever, courtesy of alohacb.

It’s really a shame that this record has been out of print for years, as it’s a choice slab of ripping metallic hardcore. Add this to the list of SST releases that desperately need to be reissued, along with the Overkill 7″, Dicks Kill From The Heart LP and Saccharine Trust’s Paganicons 12″. A fried of mine was in negotiations with the band and Greg Ginn for a reissue, for it fell through for some reason or another. I’m surprised no one has booted it in the meantime.

BIN price on this is ever so slightly high (but still worth every penny, imo), though there’s a best offer option — so maybe this can be had for a nicer price.
