  1. I went to 2 stores today for RSD. At the one store the line to get in was so long I never got out of the car, and at the other store I picked up the Bad Brains Pay To Cum reissue black vinyl. In general I hate record store day in all honesty.

  2. yeah i was in a punk record store and looked through every record, bought stuff, and my brother was still in line at another store. i was gonna buy that Bad Brains 7", but i didn't really want to spend $10 on a record i already had. that was the first record store day i went to. no deals, just like another day of going to a record store.

  4. Hi Zach,
    I went out, and I had forgoten it was record store day. this was the first time I've ever been out for it. I will say, it was nice to see so many people out supporting the local store spending money. Anyway, I picked up: a copy of the lost Normals LP" Vacation To Nowhere" on Last Laugh Records. I'm so happy someone finally put that out; it's limited to 1000, so grab it while you can. I also grabed a copy of The "Incredible Kidda Band, Radio Caroline Single", on the same lable,and a reisue of the Dow Jones And The Industrials Single with " Can't stand the midwest on it.I pick up all the reissues of records I like, whether I have the originals, or not, then I don't have to ruin the original records playing them (I don't care if a records worth thousands, unless I have a reissue, I'm gonna play it, that's what they're for). The sad thing is, most of them lack in sound quality;(especially from The (1977 Records Lable, my turntable won't play those for shit, must be the way they're cut)
    the Dow Jones is pretty good though. And finally, I picked up a great EP, By A group Called "TRAX", that I'll probably post one of these days, I also upgraded my copy of the "Shrapnel Go Cruisin Single" All in All, not a bad haul.By the way, I ended up getting copies of The "Bad Influence", and "Malignant Growth" singles thanks for alerting me they were out! If you have'nt Heard the MG single yet, its from the recording session while they recording their tracks for the classic Master Tape 2 comp, great stuff.

  5. yeah i guess it's good for the record stores, to keep them going. nice haul. i haven't even gotten any 1977 records labels stuff cause whenever i saw them, they were always so expensive. yeah i have heard some of the tracks on the MG 7". pretty good, if i find it for under $10, i'l probably buy it.

    thanks for the comments!

  6. yeah i don't understand the people who buy a rare record and keep it sealed or something, and never listen to it.

  7. I have an OG copy of the Bad Brains too, but it's a 2nd press without a cover so I figured I'd buy the reissue since it has the cover and insert.They did a nice job with the reissue.

  8. oh i don't have an original copy, but a bootleg. the bootleg is pretty good. insert and cover. but the white vinyl label is blank. yeah that re-issue did look pretty good, from what i saw. i'll wait till it goes down in price a bit.

  9. nice picture of model mania, I‘d love to have this 7" Is their song ‘no pride slow suicide‘ on any compilation?

  10. oh yeah it's a great picture. oh i wanted that 7" for a while too, so i got the next best thing. Bored Teenagers Comp #3. that song is on there. i'll be posting it soon. it's great. that Bored Teenagers comp is really hard to find too, but luckily the record store i went to didn't sell it originally when it came in the store. so it was only $15 and not the $50 it goes for on ebay. thanks for the comment.

  11. thank you for your answer i will see if i can get the comp somewhere. till then i‘ll wait for your post.
    I just found the MM 7" at a shitty german mailorder, but 250 oiros is just way too much for me and on ebay they are selling it for 100 oiros which is also way too much...
    and for my personal record store day i got myself nothing rare but a very great retrospective by the Chosen Few on hate records which i strongly recommend.
    Greetings from germany.

    Chosen Few? Australia? i've never heard anything by them.
