One fine day, Reaper Records decided to pay homage to three famous websites in the field of hardcore! Actually to three blogs whom I read almost daily. And what’s a better way than pressing a record and a T-shirt dedicated to those websites and all this in a perfect limited edition turnover! Labels take note and learn from what you see…
First package was a t-shirt and 7 inch package dedicated to Double Cross webzine:
The second homage was to Tee Till Death and Vinyl Noize blogs, also a t-shirt and Record package:
Double Cross was a web zine that documented 80’s American Hardcore Punk. They did extensive interviews with artists and wrote relevant articles about bands and labels. Their delivery is now discontinued and the website is archived. The main man behind the web site is Tim McMahon. They used Blogger dot com as publishing platform. You can still visit the site:

Tee Till Death and Vinyl Noize belong together and were purchase guiding websites. They searched eBay, found and highlighted auctions that were interesting for people to discover. Tee Till Death covered rare and collectible t-shirts auctions, while Vinyl Noize covered auctions of vinyl records that were interesting.
