NEGATIVE APPROACH




I can't begin to explain how stoked I was when I secured this bad boy in a deal recently. Ok so it's a second press but its a NEG APPROACH ep and that's pretty much all that matters to me. This fuels memories of seeing NA 4 times over the last couple of years. London at the Tuffnell Park dome, Belgium at Antwerp w/ Discharge, Christ On Parade and Warcry, played infront of 2000 rabid fans going ape. I can honestly say I've never seen as many injuries at a gig than I did at this one it was pure unadulterated bedlum. The next day with Agent Orange at a secret gig (announced to 2000 the day before!!) at the world famous and now sadly defunct Lintfabriek club in front of a cosy 200 punters, where I witnessed Brannons scowl from about 5 foot!! and finally Manchester. I've longed to own a NA ep for a while and I scored a decent deal on this. It's in great nick especially considering its age with a flawless insert and heavy card stock cover complimented by a near mint piece of shiny black vinyl. Definitely one if not my favourite hardcore ep ever. I'm happy!!!

MISFITS - HALLOWEEN







Been after this for a while and hit lucky with a guy on ebay who decided that he would pull the auction when I offered him some loot. Luckily for me I offered him way below what this normally goes for and got myself a great deal. Then I thought shit what happens if this guy renegades on this deal and decides not to send the record! Well I need not worry because it literally arrived a week after payment. Sometimes you've got to spend big to attain that goal and here is the proof. I love the Misfits and I love this song, both versions of it. Yes!
