back in november last year i wrote about the debut full length of foundation called 'when the smoke clears'. i really like that record. metallic straight edge hardcore with a nineties vibe going on. perfect mix in my book. in that post i mentioned that i already obtained a copy of the hang your head lp but couldn't write about it becaue i lost the pics of it. well, obviously i made some anew.
i missed out on the 7" pressings from six feet under records and control records (european pressing) from 2009 because i simply didn't know them back then and wasn't even collecting vinyl. therefore this re-press was really welcomed from my side. to make a 12" release reasonable, six feet under decided to put the songs of the first self titled 7" on eightfold path records and the two songs from the triple-b records 7" (both from 2008) on the b-side.
i really appreciate the idea of including these songs. it gives you a good impression of the development of this band. the vinyl colouring is pretty cool too. the whole pressing comes on 'random coloured' vinyl. basically the pressing plant throws left-over colours into a pot and let destinyl decide what will come out. my copy is a strange mix of clear-pink-purple-red-orange and probably some more.
looks like a whirlwind going on inside the vinyl. boy, it's real hypnotising watching it spin. sfu pressed 1043 copies in total. 217 copies on clear vinyl, of which 197 come with special tour covers, and 826 copies on random colour vinyl. i like the idea of them being all one of a kind. comes with download dropcard. sfu records. 2013.
