Survival Jamz

from posting an old collectible record through the  reissue of an old collectible record i'll take you to this discography of sorts of a band not quite that old but already old enough that loads of hardcore hype kids these days probably don't know them anymore

Jaguarz - jungle jams / survival 7" - 2014 Climbin' Aboard CA-024

In 2003 they released their awesome demo which got the vinyl treatment last year and because there was still some space left on the wax Climbin' Aboard Records added their song from the 'Sweet Vision' comp. All their material is great and 'survival' (from the comp.) is their strongest track so it's great to have all their stuff in the same place to conveniently listen to at once. I believe there was also a rehearsal or a live tape released or at least passed around that might have had one or the other unreleased song which is why I wrote sort of a discography.

500 copies were made in total.
My version is out of 250.
150 were made on yellow and 100 on green.
Probably a one time only pressing and it seems to be sold out.

A Minority Unit for a Cold World

Minority Unit is one of my favorite bands from the last few years. That first 7" is all time classic material. And the 2nd one was great too, yet it didn't get up to par so I think they called it quits at the right time. Perfect! Still they don't qualify for being seriously collected by me. Somehow I cannot be bothered anymore to hunt down multiple copies of a record that was originally released after 1998/99.

But despite that I'll pick up doubles or variations to make nice pictures and then trade them for stuff I slept on or just never had the chance to buy.

As was the case with my 2nd Minority Unit - s/t 7" and in late December early January it paid off. I posted my deadformat list in several facebook groups and was approached by someone about the above record which resulted in me finally getting my hands on this little beauty:

 

Cold World - ice grillz 7" Lockin' Out LOR#015

Somehow I only ever saw the CD version for sale at the time it was released. Don't ask me why. I can only guess why. Probably because at the time I didn't check out too many news bands and once I got wind of how good they are it was already sold out. Ten years down the road and that gap is finally closed.

Now I need that first 7" so I can finally sell another one of those dreaded CD releases.
