BIN’d Down

By cooch | Published 04/08/2011

BIN-priced first press copy of NA’s lp (with free shipping!) courtesy of my favorite seller of hardcore records and vintage porno mags, mr. krypt-of-kool. I never really paid much attention to the cover on this LP until recently, and I realized it might be one of the worst record covers of all time.

Vengeance again

Another top shelf barnstormer from what77fuk. I can’t believe this is on ebay AGAIN, but I feel like I’m obligated to post it every time it shows up. Go ahead…

Die Cruisin’

By cooch | Published 02/26/2011

SIDE STORY: A few years ago there was a brief period where any high end punk records on ebay were won by one of two bidders: lpman13 or romarocket. If you were after an auction these two were bidding on, forget it. Worse, if they were bidding against each other, it was world war three. Lpman13 ended up being some sort of investor type that flipped his purchases a few years later for big profits and dropped out of the game, but romarocket still pops up once in a while (and you can sample his fine Italian cooking if you’re ever in Portland, OR).

Anyways, to get back on track here… I’ve posted this LP here before, but I’ve never heard the story that Mr. rocket presents in his auction listing:

This was a mistake pressing on Touch and Go Records that was meant for the Butthole Surfers 12″ “Rembrandt Pussyhorse”..but obviously T&G sold a few instead of sending them all back to the plant. Around 1000 made but most were destroyed. Approximately 100–200 are around today.

I’ve heard the 100–200 figure before, but I also heard that they were made for the band to give out to friends, so who knows. Either way, this record smokes, so someone should buy it since I already have one.

I always thought it was a little weird that this LP existed, as Touch & Go didn’t do color vinyl pressings of any of their early records. I have to assume it was one of those deals where the plant just had some color around and they got pressed up in a rush or something, but who knows. I’ve heard as little as 200-300 were made, and many were given to friends. At any rate, this is one of the best American hardcore records ever made, and the little color vinyl quirk only adds to the package.

Vengeance the IVth

By cooch | Published 11/22/2010

Unfuckingbelievable, sk82dth has listed the FOURTH copy of Vengeance to be up on ebay this year! I don’t know where these things are coming from (well actually I do with the other three), but it’s pretty insane to think that these things used to pop up, at best, once every two years… and here we have four since this summer. Normally I don’t like posting the same records over and over, but this guy deserves it. Cool graffiti on the labels too.

More big baller action from Mr. creeper_ohio.

Again like the Necros 7″, it’s pretty wild that this is the THIRD copy of this record on ebay this year. I think prior to 2010, there were 3 copies listed over the past 5 years, if that. 200 pressed, and possibly the greatest American hardcore 7″ ever made, so expect this one to hit the $3 grand mark with ease.

Seller creeper_ohio is opening up the heavy artillery on the ‘bay…

It’s kinda crazy this record has come up twice this year, considering there are only 100 copies out there. This one’s nice too, complete with insert and looking VERY crisp in condition. So either get that credit card ready, or just sit back with some popcorn and watch the action unfold.

NA ep

By cooch | Published 10/11/2010

My buddy Jay from Providence is unloading some stuff, mostly of the powerpop and synthpunk variety (ie, stuff people here aren’t interested in), but he has this cheap first press copy of the NA ep up…

Looks like the vinyl isn’t in tip-top shape, but you get some sound clips to see what’s up, so if you’re not super anal about condition this might slip by pretty cheap. I’ll vouch for the quality of his grading, so if someone here wins this and isn’t happy with it, I’ll let you punch Morgado in the arm.
