Hurry Up and CA packages 22.09.09

After some days of nothing happening, I got two packages with delicious records again. First a little something from Hurry Up Records in Ireland. Bane decided to have Hurry Up put out their brand new 7" called "Dublin, 11.58 pm". I pre-ordered this, but I got an email saying that they had some left overs of their tour edition, which was ready to ship out immediately, so I fumbled my paypal code out in the light and ordered this.
TWO DAYS later I got it (pretty fast!). it's on opaque green wax, limited to 480 copies:


With this release Bane continue where they left off with The Note. The 3 songs on this one will quickly settle in your memory. Get it from Hurry Up Records!
Next is my package from Crucial Attack. I have been waiting quite some time to get this, and finally it came yesterday. They guy I talked to at CA plays in the band Cornered, whom I saw live in Copenhagen some time ago. I talked to him about my order, because I had ordered their demo 7". He said he'd toss in their 7" test press for free, and he remembered! :)
The test press has a white cover, opposite the regular release and is limited to 32 (although it says 50 on the cover)


The top version is the regular one, and this orange vinyl version is out of 100. The bottom is the test press.
The other thing I ordered from Crucial Attack was the Miles Away - Consequences LP. This release did not see a pressing plant when the CD was released, but Sharkmen Records and Powertrip Records got together and release it on vinyl (like the did with the other Miles Away release "Rewind, Repeat"). Miles Away play extraordinary well arranged melodic fast hardcore in the vein of In My Eyes.


This release is out on 3 different viny colors: red, clear w/ splatter and black vinyl. Clear w/ red splatter as shown above is out of 175.

Gold Vinyl (12 days of nothing!)

After 12 harsh and brutal days without buying or receiving any vinyls, I finally got my pre-order from Just Another Day Records. After the release of the Debaser debut 7", I decided to keep an eye on this label. I thought to myself if a label can put out such an amazing record as their first, then there's no stopping them!
I decided to pick up their second release as well then (although it is called JAD003). It's the debut 7" by Overload entitled "We Live Here And Now". Overload is a straight edge hardcore band from Cleveland, Ohio, and this debut is solid as hell. I like this band so much that I just ordered their t-shirt whilst writing this.
Seb from JAD had been bragging about the color of the pre-order vinyl this time, so I was really siked to receive mine and what all the fuss was about. He did not let me down. May I present the #1 gold champion:


And if the cool color wasn't enough, the above sleeve is a different pre-order sleeve. This pre-order is limited to just 44, mine being number 16.
As usual Seb, continues to do his "thing" by stamping the innersleeve and writing each persons indivual names on it, and I really like that:


Because of these solid releases and the dedication and kindness from the man behind this label, JAD is my favourite label and I'll be continueing to order his releases, 'till JAD is no more! :)

Oh and by the way, the Debaser 7" is getting repressed very soon and two new colors: white and solid green, be sure to pick them up.
