The Morning Again and 25 Ta Life split release is an awkward one. Besides the fact that in 1998 both bands were on Good Life Recordings and the fact that they are both American Hardcore bands, they have nothing in common. But because they were on tour together in 1998, this release does makes sense. Many kids saw the bands play in that year as Hardcore was at the peak of expansion (in Belgium) and they wanted to have a souvenir of the show, so this sold pretty good.

On this 45 rpm single, Morning Again brings us a song called “Dictation Of Beauty”, not the version of the LP on Revelation Records but a version recorded in Belgium at Midas Studio. So it sounds different, less cleanly produced also.

25 Ta Life played a very good show on this tour in 1998, I was there, action packed, people all over the stage. They bring on this 7 inch a previously unreleased track called “Where It Begins”. It begins with friendship and other values like sincerity, trust, loyalty and commitment.

There seem to be different pressings also. The first press was blue with small centre hole and photo’s on both sides of the label. There was also another pressing which was meant to have a large spindle hole and different artwork on the labels but obviously the pressing plant made a mistake and pressed them also with small spindle hole. That is why the blank dot in the middle is there.
Here is a collection of the three colours to end with:
