judge - what it meant discography
i'm not a big youth crew hardcore fan. never was. it's probably just not my time. i was shitting dipers in the 80's, so musical uproar through hardcore passed me by back then. the only youth crew band i ever really got into is judge. mainly because they are a bit harder and a bit groovier than other youth crews in my opinion. my problem here was that the more you reach back in time, the more the value for coloured vinyl goes up.
i'm relatively new to the collecting game and as it's impossible to want an original press of anything judge has ever released without paying over the odds, which i think, is every price that hits triple digits (for a fucking record? come on), i had to set my eyes on the discography released by revelation in the mid 00's. maybe when time goes on, i'll reach deeper into my pocket but for now the compilation will have to do.
i found this baby on discogs by a german seller. i looked more closely and found that it was christian unsinn from take it back records, of whom i bought stuff already in the past. he sold the double lp for a good price and i knew that he treated his stuff well. added to cart! the presentation is pretty nice. lovely matte card gatefold sleeve which has a great little biography wrtten by porcell.
i know that there has been some talk about the choice of the vinyl colours and most of it is not very flattering. as a big worshipper of split coloured vinyl my opinion is pretty splitted too. of course i like the clear red-opaque yellow and the clear-clear yellow vinyl discs but i think the splatter is a bit too much. but not way too much, looks still cool and the colours match the ones on the cover. there are 2300 copies pressed on this colour way for the first pressing. also a second pressing on black vinyl in existence but i don't know any numbers. revelation records. 2005.
