BURN - THE LAST GREAT SEA

Taken from the Rev Records site. Shortly before the demise of Burn in 1992, the band recorded three songs which were never released. These recordings became highly sought after by fans and tenth generation dubs have been circulating the underground scene for years. Burn were one of those bands that were too talented to be a hardcore band if you get my drift. Complex song structures and a groove that was against the grain in a scene were talent wasn't really a badge of honour! Two words ALAN CAGE!!! Packaging is a bit sparse but I love the insert pic of the band. Great shot of them in a non live environment.

ABSOLUTION - SELF TITLED EP, CLEAR RED

Absolution are a strange one. Always remembered for two great songs that were on compilations and the rest are pretty much forgotten. Part of the problem was that the production on this record is quite possibly the worst I have ever heard. The songs aren't bad but are totally let down by a weak ass production. The cover and lyric sheet pretty much go hand in hand with the production...bland!

SHALL BE JUDGED!

The debut ep by New Yorks BURN. Compared to Absolution due to the technical nature of the music and add the fact that guitarist Gavin Van Vlack was a member of both bands. This was another record that quite literally blew me away with its uniqueness. At times fast paced at other times with a unique groove going on. Anyway this is the first press variant on opaque pink vinyl. Another nice looking Rev press with that trademark slight white swirl effect going on throughout the pink only 1000 pressed.
