Judge Bringin’ It Down on purple
I’m so happy to be able to pick this one up finally. For many just a repress by Revelation. But for me rather special because I don’t usually pick up Revelation stuff. Revelation decided to repress the Judge LP on colored vinyl along with a black pressing on 180 grams…

Better Than A Thousand LP on gray
Better Than A Thousand were a positive Hardcore band during the late-nineties, with Ray Cappo on vocals. They were a welcome breath of positivity between all the metalcore bands that had a darker mindset. I never checked them out when they were playing. But by reading through the Good Life…

I’m Into Another
Indeed it happens now and then. I catch myself being too much into another so that I get confused at times as to who I really am. This admiration of or interest in other persons is quite human, I know. But collecting and listening to music can trigger this human…

Two Revelation Represses: CIV & Chain
These represses from Revelation are aesthetically the most correct. That is why I bought them. What a first world problem or luxury problem it has become? Earlier people were happy with having one colored version of certain Revelation Records releases. No matter what color it was. No matter if it…

SUPERTOUCH Gatefold and SHELTER Represses
Reality Records hooked me up with some crucial represses of classics from the two important decades’ turning point, 1990. I actually ordered them immediately after seeing them appear on their webshop. No hesitation involved. The first 1990 record is the full-length of the band Supertouch. Originally the release was meant…

Morning Again "As Tradition Dies Slowly"
The third full-length of Morning Again on Revelation Records. A cool coincidence that it’s 90’s galore and that it’s on Revelation Records. Another LP that breaths the 90’s would be “Life.Love.Regret” from Unbroken. Although this one isn’t so high in price or desired it’s a tad heavier and more classic…

It’s a Judge Bringin’ It Down on green vinyl
I have always advocated buying several versions of a record instead of having multiple of a certain version. Recently I was strengthened in believing in that approach. Why? Because I discovered that I have mistaken a first press JUDGE Bringin’ It Down on black vinyl for a third+ press. The…
