madball - n.y.h.c. ep 7"

i won this baby on ebay for next to nothing. i think it was five bucks or something. the n.y.h.c. ep was the forerunner to their comeback release after five years in the form of 'legacy'. except their first three records, madball never had any consistency when it comes to their labels. and again this recording came out on several labels on different formats.
alone the n.y.h.c. ep was released on five different labels (the number 'five' has a strange consistency in this post). gsr music (eu), thorp records (usa) and submission records (japan) for the cd version. martyr records (usa) and reality records (eu) for the vinyl version. i obtained a copy of the european vinyl edition that appeared on belgium's reality records.
musically this ep is brilliant in my book. it promised more than 'legacy' could live up to. check it out in full length here. i have a clear green w/ black splatter copy of the first press. there are 500 copies on this colour and another 500 on orange vinyl, plus a second press of 500 purple copies. reality records. 2004.
