What damage?

Ok. As promised we diverge slightly from the sound of the last couple of records. This is raw as fuck youth crew from Indianapolis, Indiana. Not unlike Straight Ahead for example

Social Damage - both demos 7" - 2014 Straight & Alert Records S&A09

As you might have guessed this record compiles their two demos that were released in 2013. Since I missed out on the first one and really like the 2nd one I gladly put in an order for this single. Great stuff and they will be on tour in europe with label mates Raw Justice in October. Keep your eyes open my friends. I have a feeling that not many people will come to their shows but those who do I bet won't be disappointed. Really looking forward to this.

There are 4 different versions out there. 2 different pre-order covers out of 100 each. Both on gold vinyl and it seems that there was a slight overproduction since there are also 18 gold vinyl records with regular cover out there. My copy is the standard black vinyl version out of 326 including a sticker and additional label flyer.

The eagle has landed - Stop & Think

for my first post on here in 4 months i moved two records slightly up the pile to make sure i'm coming back with somewhat of a bang.

when i came back home from tour in january one of the few and off the top of my head my most recent ebay score had arrived already:

Stop & Think - both demos LP - PKR-002 / LOR-0004

regular edition /748       ||      Straight Ahead tribute sleeve /300

ever since its release i tried to get my hands on either of those but somehow they always eluded me because they sold out too fast and i wasn't willing to pay enough to win either on the bay.

but then while being bored on tour these two popped up as one auction. usually that's not a good idea for the seller and it proved to be true in this case too. i figured why not put down a bid that is kinda half way between what i've seen the rarer version go for and what they would maybe go for in two separate auctions. as you can see this train of thought went to the right destination.
with vinyl noize postings having gone done quite a lot the price of these probably did too but it's still one of the best records from that era and any serious collector should know that and be able to appreciate it.

i would have been totally fine with owning either one and somehow i'd still be although it feels pretty good to own both. but for a trade i'll remember you can pry whichever one you're after away from me.
