All Hallows

A month till Halloween. So this record is right on time. I always loved this EP, but the price for the OG 7″ is way too much for me. So this repress as a 10″ is totally perfect for me.

Dark Blue

Another pressing on blue, this time on dark blue. Nice color, great 7″. Title Fight haven’t played that much this year, still hope they will come over later this year or early the next one.

Free Will

Finally the 7″ I was waiting for. I always loved this demo, so when I heard it would be released as a 7″, I knew I had to get a copy. Obviously it took way longer then expected, but at least it is finally here and it looks and sounds great. 

More BURN

I totally fell in love with this 7″ the last few weeks. It turned out better than expected and the more I listen to it, the more get into it. Can’t wait for the LP to drop early next year. These copies are from Revelation records. Rev had an exclusive version on yellow vinyl plus I picked up the regular pressing on purple vinyl.

Through and through

Who doesn’t love the nineties? One track promo CDs and Life Of Agony still has the artwork like any NYHC band would have. Design wise this is right up my alley, so is this song.

How soon is now in the USA

I love The Smiths, I love vinyl and I love alternate sleeves. Luckily the Smiths have a lot of that. This might be my favorite song of them. So finding a nice USA 7″ with a totally different sleeve in the mail was a nice start of the day. One of the few sleeves with not a (famous) person on the sleeve. I wonder why Morrissey didn’t try to stop this from happening.

Ciao

Earlier this year, I bought the boxset of Lush. So I kind of wanted to conplete the collection with adding this best of double record. I love the flow of this compilation. Perfect record for Sunday morning or Thursday afternoon.

LOA

Since, I got all the vinyl output, I started to look around to see if zo could pick up any of the four demo tapes. Turns out they are way to expensive. However I did notice a ton of singles on cd with a lot of great b-sides, best thing those are dirt cheap. So when I found a seller selling a nice lot, I jumped on it. Pretty cool and pretty cheap.

Mad Marx

A very cool alt. sleeve for the latest ManLiftingBanner record. This was made for an exhibit on punk in Amsterdam, earlier this year. I really love the drawings by Bart. Such an awesome artist.

Burning Too

While buying a few records from the Crucial Response distro, I noticed this repress for a decent price. I do have the regular version but I always wanted to pick up the remastered edition too. I like the updated artwork but sound wise the biggest change can be noticed. I really enjoy the better mastering, not that the old one was bit, but now, everything sounds a bit improved. More depth and more clear. I you haven’t bought a copy before, get the remastered one.
