Huge let down.

My boss Ryan gave me this.  Hot Topic was giving this out at a managers meeting they just had.  A side has one song called re education (Through labor) from the new album.  Very bad song.  Sorry Rise Against... its true.  I used to love this band, but this blows.  B side has a Minor Threat cover that I was very excited about.  Rise against do amazing Hardcore covers... but this one not so much.  It was recorded live at a show, everything was great but the vocals, not cool dude.  This was given to me... pretty cool, cause it says Promotional Only on the back... not sure how rare this is.  Or if it even is.  :/

Heres a few

Internet is out at my house so I haven't been able to post these.  Here are a few records that everyone should be into.  Late pressings, nothing rare.  But good records none the less.  Get into it.

There are no words to describe this record. I love this band.  I just bought tickets to see them here in Houston with Polar Bear Club and Broadway Calls.  Record is beautiful.  It's like the words on the jacket. The other one I have of this is black with sliver and white dots to resemble stars.  Very pretty.  Second press... not sure how many there are.

Have Heart- Songs To Scream At The Sun.  This is a great record, but I guess I'm just like everyone else, this cover looks like some "Chumbawumba" shit.  Don't deny it... it's true.  Got this from Hot Topic as well... this one was in good shape.  For once.  I'm not dogging on HT, just not too fond of how people treat the vinyl.

Muiciple Waste- The Art Of Partying.  Bought this from Hot Topic.  Sucks because of course the packaging was fucked up, not only because its a picture disk but because these kids simply do not know how to care for vinyl, but I work there, so why not take advantage of 20% off.  Can't find the pressing info for this record.

Have Heart

Don't know the pressing info on this.  But I do know its one of the final pressings.  The other was blue vinyl.  Bottled up records.  Great 7", if you can get your hands on it... all four songs are good.  

Die Young

Just got these from Richard from Ten Crowns.  Die Youngs first two 7 inches.  Each are out of 500 and the only color of each pressing.  Obviously OOP.  If you don't know who Die Young are... get into em.  They still have some vinyl available.  Now that I have these, my Die Young collection is about finished.  I don't have test pressings though and I don't have the tour cover for the Loss 7" and the silk screened out of 50 cover for the Invade split 7". 

*UPDATE*  Turns out there a few more that I don't have!  I love records.

Flex Your Head

This is a record that I've had in  my collection for a while.  I wish I knew more about it.  As far as I know this is an original but from the price I paid for it (about 15 bucks at Sound Exchange in Houston) it's probably not.  But then again, I've searched everywhere to find out and as far as I know it is (if you know, hit me up).  Last night the Crew and I went to see Henry Rollins do a spoken word performance (Wich was amazing) and we met him afterwards.  This was my second time seeing and meeting him, if you haven't I highly suggest it.  Amazing show.  I brought my copy of Flex Your Head for him to sign and I was fortunate enough to make this happen.  Check out his tour dates and go see him if you haven't.  

Selective Wreckage

Crime in Stereo Selective Wreckage.  Not too much to say about this record, except for the fact that I missed out on the rare color, just like the last CIS record.... you can read about that a few posts below.  I know if you're reading the date this looks a little more than Obvious that I would have missed the green vinyl but I've had these a while, I'm just now getting around to posting this.  I just won the Green copy on ebay so now I have all 3.  When I get that, I will post it.  Records came with a cd inside for all 3 copies and a nice poster.

Ps:  The 2nd gold... is spoken for.

Green Vinyl: 200

Gold Vinyl: 500

Black W/Gold Vinyl: 2300

Thank you No Idea!

So I ordered the first three colors of this Repress (No Idea Records) as soon as they were available.  Whatever I did, I didn't do it right.  My order never went through.  I emailed them several times and then several more times letting them know I wasn't getting a response from them.  Finally one day at random I check my spam folder and about 6 emails from No Idea are in there.  They have said they never got my order and I need to re order them.  So I do.  I then notice there is another pressing on white vinyl.  The next day an invoice is emailed to me saying they only charged me for one.  So first thought "first 3 colors must have sold out and all I get is the white... FUCK!" wich is what happened.  I figured that was that.  A few days pass and dude running mailorder over there gives me a call on my cell and says they have 5 of each color at the office.  He says they were saved specifically for the 5 members of Lifetime to have one of each color.  Apparently he gave the dudes a call letting them know about this specific incident and asked if they wanted these records or if he should sell them to me, and as you can see... they were cool and I got them.  Not that it's any difference at all... but its still pretty cool that mine were the copies saved for the band themselves.  I now have all 4 colors of the repressing and the original on black.  Now I just gotta get that red. Here is the pressing info for the no Idea pressing.    

Ps: No Idea sells records for $7.00   Fuck everyone else.  You can't beat $7.00.
