Half Off were fronted by one Billy Rubin, imitator then antagonizer of Ray Cappo and Youth Of Today! Not quite sure what their beef was about but once I find out I'll post it here! This was a variant of the 1st press and only came on a press of 100 clear reds, so by my estimations really should make it worth more than the $10 I bought it for! The joys of Ebay! The label also belonged to Mr Rubin so this was a DIY release to the max! Good songs let down by a god awful production.

I had a friend who owned a copy of this record that was mislabeled and packaged as Half Off, only to be some metal band. Not sure what pressing but on red vinyl. Anyhow, just a little trivia needing clarification.
Half Off is one of the most UNDERATED groups from the L.A. scene of all time!
@Jae:
a guy i know bought the Half Off record with blue lettering, labeled as Half Off but the vinyl was actually Pissed Happy Children's "Pissed Playground", also on New Beginning. so i guess you're referring to that missprint, but it ain't metal
I had that LP Blue Cover & Half Off labels but it was the PHC pissed playground LP.
I eventually traded it to someone so now I still have an empty Half Off sleeve.
Nice blog I found it doing a google image search for Half Off looking for album art
i had it. good cover of "no pain, no gain." the fact that i still remember it and was thinking about it enough to actually look it up is a testament to it's ability to stand the test of time...
Curious where you got the info about there being 100 copies...
