A Ramones Extravaganza! 7 assorted 12" and 3 7"

Another sweet lot of records that were part of Doug's collection.

These are all original presses from the Ramones. The most interesting is Pinheads, on the top left.  It is a bootleg record that is a live broadcast of a show from My Father's Place on Long Island.  I have only seen a couple of references to this record on the internet and I have not seen a reference to a pressing on blue.  It is a very rough recording during a great era for the Ramones.


 
Also, a few 7" records from assorted eras.

Collection of Glenn Danzig Related Records (Danzig, Samhain and Misfits)

This is the first posting of a ton of records that I picked up during my last trip to Long Island.  Doug is an old buddy of mine and I have been picking up records from him for a while and finally we worked out a deal and I bought the remainder of his collection.  The next dozen posts or so will all be from that collection.
Some of the records that I purchased from Doug in the past are Judge, Bulldoze, Youth of Today, Cleanser, a couple from Neglect, Slayer: Divine Intervention, Mind Over Matter, Arkham and One4One.

I've decided to consolidate all of the Glenn Danzig related records here and what better to start with than The Misfits?

Here are some of the most classic Misfits singles from back in the day. 
All but Cough/Cool are Plan9 bootleg pressings without any type on the labels.


4 Original Misfits LPs including Live Night of the Living Dead on MAD001, limited to 1500, Earth A.D, Evilive and Walk Among Us

Here are original Def Jam presses of Danzig: Dirty Black Summer and Danzig.



Sorry, I had to add it!



This is an underground Danzig release on "Def Jim records", Fresh Flesh,  Live at The Ritz from 1989 and limited to 750 copies.


Finally, to round off this partial Glenn Danzig collection, some Samhain records
Unholy Passion, November Coming Fire and Initium



Cannibal Corpse: The Bleeding and Tomb of the Mutilated represses on Back on Black

Got my hands on some nice Back on Black represses of Tomb of the Mutilated and The Bleeding. Tomb of the Mutilated was the first Death Metal record I ever heard and The Bleeding was my favorite of the genre for a long time!  Listening back now, Tomb was a very hard record to listen to.  The production seems so muddy and saturated, but classic in its own right. 

These are some great records, as all of the Back on Black tend to me.  Both on different shades of red and with heavy, gatefold covers.

and again from The Bleeding


H20: D.C. 7" to Finish the Collection and Don't Forget Your Roots 12" on White and Purple

This is the last of the H2O series of 7" off of Don't Forget Your Roots
This is the D.C. H2O's 7 Inch on White vinyl. Featuring the following tracks: Safe (Dag Nasty), Said Gun (Embrace), and Understand (Government Issue - Exclusive to this release).


This completes the collection of these H20 7".  I did only get 2 of the 3 colors of each, but its more than enough for me.


Finally, here is the full length 12" that all of these singles are from, Don't Forget Your Roots on white and semi-transparent purple.

A389 Records Halloween "Fill in the Gaps" Special + Ringworm Flexi and More!

A389 offered a Halloween "Fill in the Blanks" special as well as some new releases.  The first one is a really interesting Ringworm: Madness of War clear flexi disc!  A really interesting concept. Seems that the last year has shown a resurgence of flexi vinyl, including Decibel magazine including one in each of their new issues, for subscribers.

Next, is another Ringworm release.  This is a split with Mindsnare and is packaged with a mini comic book as the sleeve.  Awesome purple vinyl and clever packaging idea with the comic.

And.. to "Fill in the Gaps" ...

Integrity: Walpurgisnacht
This is probably 3rd or 4th press now on great looking splatter vinyl
Assorted 7" Including
WITHDRAWAL: Faith Flesh & BloodTHE LOVE BELOW / HOMEWRECKER: Split
PICK YOUR SIDE: Survival Prayer
INTEGRITY/CREEPOUT: Split
PALE CREATION: Wake Of Temptation (b/w Rose Colored Haze)


PULLING TEETH / SHIN TO SHIN: Split


INTEGRITY: To Die For 10″


PULLING TEETH: Funerary 12″


SEVEN SISTERS OF SLEEP / CHILDREN OF GOD: Split 12″


Finally, the new Ringowm album Scars on Victory records.  Check out the color of the vinyl.. its a pretty obnoxious combination of colors, if you ask me.

Dropkick Murphy's: The Warriors Code Green 12" and Picture 7"

Finally, the last of the Dropkick Murphy's records that I have been collecting

I ordered this on eBay and won it on a Best Offer, which was unexpected.  I was assuming it was on black vinyl and the description said that it was used, but in good enough shape.  Surprisingly, it is in excellent condition, on green vinyl and he threw in a 7" picture disc of The Warrior's Code!

Between the Buried and Me: The Silent Circus Repress (Peach Splatter)

This is a sweet repress of BTBAM: The Silent Circus on Victory records. 
Cool peach vinyl with a light, color splatter. 

Goes well with the repress of Colors and the copy of Alaska
