Reign Supreme - Testing the Limits of Infinite 12"

Another Sound & Fury '09 exclusive, this is one cool record to have, if even just to look at. Not saying that's what I do, but keep reading and you might agree. Pink vinyl out of 100 only available with this special cover, which has both front and back hand screened images. The cover says it was for the tour they were on at the time, but when I clarified at the merch booth, they said S&F was the only place they were selling it. So there you have it.

I saw this sell on eBay a week or two after the event for $100+. It still always manages to go for high prices any time I see another one on there.

Reign Supreme - Testing The Limits of Infinite (pink) (Sound & Fury '09 cover) 78/100

Man Overboard - Before We Met: A Collection Of Old Songs 12"

Another band I checked out before S&F '10. Their entire discography is awesome in my opinion. Here is their LP that contains a collection of re-recorded old songs and some (at the time of release) new songs. After I got this, I realized that a lot of the pop-punk LP's I get have a habit of being on blue vinyl. A sensible theme, blue is a soft color. I'm sure you may come to see how this blue thing is true as I post more.

Creatures/Downpresser split 7" (Creatures Record Release Cover)

I acquired this on eBay from the old drummer of Creatures for $10.50 plus shipping. It was one that I had been after for a while, and one of the first times I ever paid a hiked price for a special version of a record. I'd end up spending much more money for other collectibles later on.

Specifics:


Creatures/Downpresser - Split (Creatures Record Release Cover) 15/25

Internal Affairs - Deadly Visions 7"

This was the first hardcore record I bought at Hot Topic. A classic. I bought this before I was really familiar with record labels or many hc bands, I just thought it was a fluke that they happened to have it there, and bought it because I had heard them before and liked what I heard. Now, I fucking love this 7".

Get The Most - Common Goals 7"

This was the first modern youth crew album (ep) that I heard when I was first getting into hardcore. This one re-shaped my view on hardcore as a whole, and displayed to me the simplicity it can have, and showed me how you can "mosh parts" without a heavy sound or hard attitude. I fucking love it, and don't see myself getting sick of it.

I picked this up along with a shitload of other shit on the stacked as fuck Get The Most, On, Gone But Not Forgotten, Keep It Clear, Circles west coast tour in around April/May of 2009. It was my first time driving all the way to Riverside to see a show at the Pharoh's Den, and it was worth it as I had been jizzing all over the Mp3's of the Common Goals EP for about a year at that point, and I had not yet seen them. They had many different colors of this at their table including blue, red, and green. I asked for the blue one, and got handed this one. I noticed when I took my load to the car, but didn't wanna bitch about one color being wrong. I wasn't planning on fully collecting this one. Plus, I think this is from the 1st press, while the colored ones were the 2nd press. Doesn't make much different to me but I think it does to some people...

The First Step - Connection 7"

I bought this one night, along with a few others, at Amoeba Records in Hollywood. Not as into it as I am into their LP What We Know. I don't have a copy of that, but I want it. This one is alright.

The First Step - Connection EP (blue) /1270

Fire & Ice - Grim 7"

I bought this at Fire & Ice's first California show, first West Coast show. My band also played this show. Cool story, bro! Anyways, I felt the need to buy this, as it hadn't even leaked at the time, and I really wanted to hear it ASAP. Of course, they were selling the most widely available version of the record. No special cover or stamp marked specially for the occasion. I kept walking by the Triple-B table at S&F and seeing this on color vinyl and being annoyed that I was stuck with black. Lamez.

*p.s. - sorry, I won't use words like "lamez" anymore.
