I'm Moving

So I'm in the middle of a move right now, so I haven't had a whole lot of time to update this or really get pictures and records together. Presently I don't even have my records with me, they're still back home. As I'm typing this, I'm in a hotel because I'm off training for my new job and the wireless internet cuts in and out. This is an example of the reason for why I haven't updated this. Since I've been getting a lot of stuff recently I thought it would be a good idea to get a head start before it just get's out of hand.

Here we have the Summer Tour 2006 version of Bracewar's s/t 7". This is my seventh copy of this record. Other than the really rare ones, I'm only missing the red record release cover. Almost there. This summer tour version is numbered out of 100.


This is the '08 Euro Tour press of The First Step's Connection 7". This was the rarer color of the second press, with 270 copies. The first press also had a red so the labels on this one were changed to white to differentiate.

When Dave of Six Feet Under put out an distro update stating he got in copies of Bracewar's latest 7", I jumped at the opportunity, as I knew this may be the only time I'd be able to get both copies at once at a reasonable price. Clear is out of 300 and black is out of 700.

This is the Pulling Teeth and Frightener split. I believe this is the rarest color, white with splatter, 350 copies.

Here is a copy of Pulling Teeth's Vicious Skin on green with haze. This is from the first press, no idea the pressing info on this release.

When I made the order from SFU for the Bracewar 7"s I also decided to pick up another copy of Common Cause's The Power to Change on what I thought was going to be clear, that's what the listing in the webstore said. This arrived, apparently there is a second press out of 300 on blue. So I got a copy of the record, which is cool, it just means there's another one I still need to get.

So that covers everything I got right before I moved up to PA about 2.5 weeks ago. Hopefully I'll get time to post about the massive amount of stuff I had waiting for me when I went home for Thanksgiving.

There's More

I've had a lot of down time this weekend so I thought I'd knock some more of this out. The next few are pick ups from my trip to Celebrated Summer while I was in Baltimore for the Mindset/Get the Most/ON show.

This is Iron Boot's Easy Green. I believe this is the first press on black out of 500.

Numbered on the back, Alex over at Grave Mistake does a great job with his releases, everything looks great.
Here is the 7" single from Rage's Guerrilla Radio, something I couldn't pass up on.

This is something that simply just caught my eye and seemed decent. Nice cover/vinyl match. From what I heard this is pretty standard style youth crew. The cover does it justice. Out of 900.

This is something I've been looking to pick up but never got around to. Virgin Witch's s/t. Dom from Pulling Teeth plays guitar and bass on this. It's pretty similar to Pulling Teeth, I'd say its a bit more evil and metal. Good stuff, and I mean just look at this thing.

Here is what I think is the record release version of the Sacred Love 7". I guess the Baltimore show was the record release show for this, not sure. Either way, Ev did a good job on the art as usual.

Numbered out of 50. Not totally in to this band, but I figured it would be cool to pick up. If you're interested in trading for it let me know.

Here we have two copies of the Disengage 7" that I picked up in two places, both at shows. Disengage opened the show in Baltimore and it was pretty impressive, I knew I was interested in the band, but they sold me after that. If you don't already know, this features members of Cold World, Title Fight and Bad Seed. You should check 'em out.

More to come...

Richmond, This City

So it's just by chance that all three things from this post are of bands from Richmond, not to mention the last post had Swamp Thing, also from Richmond. You'd be a fool if you didn't recognize the bands that have been coming out of Richmond. First up I decided to pick up a few more copies of the Bracewar s/t, our the demo as it's also known. First up is the 7" with the Sound and Fury Stamp, hand numbered.

Nothing too special, the normal pressing on black just with the Sound and Fury Stamp on the inside of the sleeve.

I also got a copy of the original demo, which had two songs that made it's way on to the 7". I think I was happier to get this than the 7", as I feel that this is a bit more special and just cooler overall. It is better simply because it has the intro. Not sure how limited this, but I'm sure it can't be more than a couple hundred.

Last is the first Down to Nothing LP, Save it for the Birds on a color that is not incredibly easy to find, green. I've seen this go for a decent amount several times and it just seems that I always get outbid or miss out on my chance to get a copy. This thing is limited to 100 copies, the same as the record release.

So there are a few older Richmond releases that still are just as awesome as they were years ago.
