Holidays Post

 So a ways back A389 announced that it had put up the Japanese pressing of the last Pulling Teeth LP put out by WDSounds, who I know nothing about. The pressing is pretty much the exact same as the A389 version except this this piece of paper on the cover. I have no idea how many of these there are? It also came with the Flexi of the band's original demo. This one is on black out of 100. I'm still not in to the Flexis, but I like this demo.

 So I saw online somewhere that Beware had put up some copies of their demo tape a ways back. This is numbered #30 out of 100. I have to say when this demo tape was floating around on the internet I wasn't completely in to it, it wasn't bad but I had mild interest. Now that their 7" has come out and they've blown up, I mean the second press is already sold out of the 7", I'm really happy I did pick this up. That 7" is awesome by the way. It will definitely be one of the best of the year.

 I'm not sure where I got this from, maybe another label in their distro? This is a pretty good 7" and I believe this band just broke up. They were a big deal at Sound and Fury last year if I remember correctly. This one on red is out of 300.

 I was happy to finally get a copy of this from Control Records. This is the vinyl pressing of Bad Seed's second demo. This band ruled and so did the demo. Black is out of 400.

 I know I got this one from A389, so I'm assuming that I got the others above from the same place. These were some old copies that happened to be found by Dom I think. This was a great band and this version on gold is pretty rare, but I'm not sure what the exact numbers are.

Here is my pre-order from the Praise Two Songs 7". This came out really clean. I like the layout and artwork. I wish that the grey vinyl color was tan however. I think a tan or clear would have gone well. White is out of 200, grey is out of 300 and black is out of 400. These are two great songs too.

From React! I also picked up a copy of Police & Thieves Amor Y Guerra LP put out by Salad Days Records.

This is another copy of Splitting Headache that I picked up from Rich of Speedowax Records. Rich messaged me a ways back saying he had printed up some limited orange covers that he was looking to give to some people, so naturally I said I was interested.

As you can see these are numbered out of 10 and has my name on it. Pretty cool.

So I pre-ordered the Ceremony Covers release and I also picked up a few other things. Up top is the fourth press on grey of the Project X 7" and the third press on grey of Ceremony's Scared People. On the bottom is Ceremony's Still Nothing Moves You, fourth press on yellow, Pianos Become the Teeth's Old Pride fourth press on gold/maroon and Strike Anywhere's Iron Front second press on green.

The Ceremony Covers release came out great, they are one sided etched 12"s.

Rev Order

So I picked up the recent represses of Youth of Today's Can't Close My Eyes from Revelation. There were two colors of vinyl repressed for this repress. This is the second pressing for Revelation. They decided to use the originally artwork for this repress, which they did not use for the originally pressing of this 12" on Revelation. This was a good move on their part going back to the original. So the first color was on red, out of 443. Cool, it matches the letters on the artwork, good pick. The other color was on purple marble out of 562 copies. Now not all of copies of this version were actually purple, some were more grey and some were more blue. For a full description of the different colors or even the earlier versions of this record check out dobek's post.

As well as the YOT records I also picked up a copy of Title Fight's LP. I wasn't sure about pre-ordering this record. I downloaded it when it came out and I defintly was interested. So I knew I wanted to get a copy of it and I wasn't too worried about having a super limited copy, I just wanted a copy of it for the time being. So I picked it up from Rev. The copy on black is out of 1,400.


This thing came out really nice. The gatefold sleeve is awesome, the inside is definitely the best part of it. The dust sleeve for the record is printed and is also really cool. Overall Side One Dummy did a fantastic job.

So with my Rev order I also got another copy of Ceremony's recent LP. This is the third press on black out of 1,000. I want to get more Ceremony vinyl, hopefully I can start a collection.

So also from Rev I decided to pick up another one of the classic Rev band's releases. This is the second pressing of Judge's What It Meant Discography collection. After not picking the best vinyl color for the first pressing, the went with just the standard black and it looks great. Much better. I think this is out of 500 from what I have written down, but the massive text file online with the Revelation discography doesn't have anything specific. Anyone know?

I also got another Youth of Today record. This is a copy of Break Down the Walls. I believe this is the version with the band photo on the label from the older press out of 550. Can anyone confirm this for me?

I picked up a copy of Strike Anywhere's latest LP on pink. I'm starting to get back in to this band after many years. The copy on pink is from the first press out of 700.

I picked up two copies of the self-titled 7" from Youth of Today that was also recently repressed. I already had a copy of this on red but I decided to get another. The copy on black I believe is out of 300. The red was the special Record Store Day press out of 1,350.

I took a picture of the two different copies on red I have, there is a little bit of a difference.

A Show and some Label Orders

I forgot to post about this with the copies of the True Colors demo. This is a tape release of Envision from Novia Scotia. I'm pretty sure it's the discography. It's a pretty cool looking tape, I Drink Milk puts out the best looking tapes that I've seen.

I picked up a few things from the SFU distro at this show.

This is the latest Harms Way 7". Pretty awesome artwork and the vinyl ain't bad either.

I picked up my first copy of this split, took me a while.

I've been meaning to get a copy of this after hearing these guys at ATWR. Pretty awesome band from Chicago I believe. Check em out if you haven't.

This is the SFU showcase version of the new Rival Mob 7". Pretty cool release and luckily I got a copy. This band is currently high on the hype meter.

Here we have the copy of the Floorpunch discography I was missing.

This is my Ceremony pre-order. Since there was a error in my order and I got it late, they decided to give me the rarest color, red. I had no idea my order was even late, so cool. The 7" is the 2nd press. This is a different record, but I still like it.

Here we have the 7" pre-release of the new Cruel Hand LP. I'm really starting to get tired of these 7" pre-releases, this might be my last one.

This is an order from Reaper. The latest Down to Nothing 7" 2nd press and 2nd press of the TUI LP.

I got my big React! pre-order.


Since the Damages 7" was delayed, Aram threw in some rarities for everyone who pre-ordered it. I got a transition of the Damages 7". I would have liked to have gotten a different rarity, as I'm not in to Damages much, but it's still a cool appreciation thing on Aram's part. Hopefully someone will want this and I can trade/sell it.

I was really impressed with the Get the Most LP. Everything came out really well. The insert is just awesome and the cover/vinyl are really clean and straight-forward.
