Old School Madball Records!!

I have been working on getting the Madball 12"s together.

After a lot of searching and bidding, I found a guy who was selling a couple that I was missing, together, in one lot!!

Here is Madball: Set it Off



and Madball: Demonstrate My Style



These are absolutely classic NYHC records and are some of my favs!!

Only a few more to go!

Shutdown: Few and Far Between - Brooklyn Hardcore!

This is the 2nd release from Shutdown, out of Brooklyn.

Few and Far Between on Victory records from 2000 on blue wax.

I scored this on eBay along with the 25 ta Life record.

Thanksgiving trip to NY!

So, I have been buying some pieces here and there on eBay and at the local record shops, but not finding a whole lot.

My girlfriend and I were stoked to go to NY to see my family for Thanksgiving.

I figured it would be a good time to add some stuff. We ended up going to Generation Records, Bleeker Bobs and a couple others that I cannot remember in NYC and Looney Tunes on Long Island.

Believe it or not, the only record I got was one 7". I thought my chances for some nice NYHC records would be good, but ... nope!

I picked up Mind Over Matter, S/T on Wreck Age records from 1992.

I grew up with these guys around Long Island. This is a great find for me!


Also, I got lucky a couple of months ago and scored the full length "Security" from 1994 sealed!

And so it begins..

So, I’ve found myself addicted to records…

My name is Lenny and I was born and raised on Long Island, NY.

I have always been deeply involved with music and fascinated with the way that albums display a chronology of a scene, an era and a region.

I have recently moved to Seattle and parted with many of my records. My goal is to reconstruct my personal chronology through my collection.

The focus at this time is NYHC and related. I also have a strong interest in Metal of all kinds as well as a lot crossover.

Hopefully this blog will serve as a reminder for how this unfolds.

I do hope that it is interesting for any of you that happen upon it.

Without further ado…….
