sick of it all put out my favourite nyhc record of all time ('scratch the surface') and is one of the few long-life hardcore bands of which i dig every single release. that said, i never really pursued to get all their stuff on vinyl. their old material, everything pre-'00, plus the fat wreck records are pretty hard to come by on coloured vinyl.
i am not too enthusiastic about paying the current asking prices and as i have the most of the releases on cd, i will just wait for re-issues. time, soia's popularity and the current eagerness for vinyl re-issues are on my side. just as happened with their self-titled 7" from 1987 on revelation. almost unusual that the last re-press before this blue 7" came out already four years from now. speaking in revelation terms, that is.
anyway, they bring us a clear blue version which is the ninth press already. i am not the biggest clear blue vinyl fan in record collecting history and i think, with this platter i still won't be in the near future. but i got it for six bucks and that's fair enough. rev did this re-press in the fashion of the fifth press from 1997, the first in almost ten years. thus it comes with an insert with some liner notes of lou koller. love stuff like this. don't how many have been pressed. revelation records. 1987/2014.
