Tags Matching: Youth of Today

Por SELL

By mcs | Published 02/17/2012

Everyone’s favourite Youth Of Today & Judge guitarist, committedforlife (aka Porcell) seems to have raided the Revelation vault recently, and he’s offering his to spoils to whoever can stump up the most (obscene amount of) money. Good on him though I say. Better someone who was actually in the band(s) get a share of today’s eBay proceeds for once rather than some flip artist.

The best thing about these auctions (aside from the records themselves, that is) are the little stories he tells in the item descriptions. I won’t bother pasting them here. Instead, I’ll let you click through and read them for yourself…

Youth of Today – Break Down The Walls on Blue

By Justin O | Published 02/14/2012

Seller aapjekoala has got the holy grail of Youth of Today records up for sale. Rather than me butcher the story of this record, the passage from the Revelation Discography txt file tells the story of the record very well.

“The 150 count on each of the records is what Porcell believes to have been made. 100 of each color were given to the band to sell, but before they had a chance, everything from their van was stolen while parked near CBGB’s before a show. Assuming the thieves were not hardcore kids and were more interested in selling the band’s equipment than some silly records, it can be inferred that the majority of these 200 records were destroyed (a few were given away at the show before the rest were stolen however). A few years later, Wishingwell sold their remaining copies to local Orange County record stores. The difficulty of finding either color of this record can be attributed to their initial limited pressing as well as the alarming 66%+ destruction rate. In another fairly distressing yet humorous twist to the plot, I was told that the owner of one of the stores that got a number of the remaining color vinyl copies, took a dozen or so red ones home and nailed, yes nailed, them to his back porch and watched them curl up in the California sun.”

There’s a 1500 BIN for the record, I imagine that this will get pulled down for a private offer. But we’ll see how this ends.

Youth of Today – We’re Not In This Alone Funhouse

By Doug W | Published 02/03/2012

Hey everybody, meet maxcottica or as he likes to be called, Max.

Max is a friendly ebay seller from Ireland, and as he states in his auction descriptions, “He’s a metalhead just like you.”
Max is going to be selling 1000 metal records in the future, and I guess one hardcore one. I have to say, if you are only going to be selling one hardcore record you might as well make it a good one!

Between his Manowar and Blood Feast albums, you can pick up Youth of Today – We’re Not In This Alone European press on Funhouse Records. It’s on yellow vinyl as well making this a damn fine pick up for all you YOT/youth crew collectors. This could have gone under the radar, if you know, it wasn’t posted here.

Myself? I have my eye on that Wargasm album he’s selling. Tight.

TPT: Drunk at the youth of today reunion

By Melillo | Published 01/31/2012

Well this is the second test pressing that stab_and_kill has put up in the past 24 hours. This is not only a test press, but also features a limited edition cover, and hand numbered #11. This record came out towards the end of the Slumlords era, but featured the very popular song “Drunk at the Youth of Today reunion”

We all love a good YOT reunion.

X Swatch – Tick tock tick tock – Has the edge gone dull?

By mikethemosher | Published 01/18/2012

West coast seller 90feetofperfectionx brings us a different kind of ‘vinyl’ noize than we are used to seeing here. Is the band on this considered vinyl? These things are pretty timeless, like a good edge man, and are always pretty well sought after. I would love to grab one, but I’ve always kinda been of the opinion that if one isn’t handed down to me, then it’s not my time. I have the same opinion of varsity jackets.

THE TIME IS NOW

I need your…Shelter!

By Emil | Published 01/13/2012

I keep hearing from people (mostly girls actually!) that Shelter was the band that got them into hardcore, punk, straight edge, vegetarianism, was their gateway band that changed their lives, etc. I’ve never heard Shelter in high school (the punk rock formative years) and when I finally did they were always the post-Youth Of Today band for me and not much else. I don’t think Shelter will ever top or even equal YOT on any level in my mind and I think that’s healthy. That said I don’t hate Shelter, and I’m open to hearing some more of their better records, but I’m not exactly hunting for them. The early stuff is the best it seems, the later pop-punk stuff blows. Here’s something from the earlier catalog, on EVR, at $10 with free shipping, I think this is the first two 7″s on a 12″. Did this also come out on Revelation on CD? Shelter’s still hazy for me I guess.

This should be Revelation number 1

By Tre | Published 01/06/2012

…because it’s the best record they ever did! Justin from Indecision sure gives us a true banger here. The almighty Ray and Porcell 7″ on purple vinyl. I had to retouch the photo a little, since it was so dark you couldn’t make out it’s sweet rich tones. There are only 1000 of this on purple, which is crazy, there should be a million, because this is so good!!! I mean, think about it… This record never let you down. There were those really sad Youth Of Today reunions, and have you heard the last… I dunno… five Shelter records? But this record has never done anything to soil it’s reputation. For real, it’s 1990 or whatever year this came out, and you’re Ray and Porcell. You think you need a fucking drummer to slow you down? Hell no.
