All under $10 or under, can't go wrong!

1. Reggie and the full effect- "greatest hits 84-87"-second nature recordings-clear orange/316 (2nd press)
2. Alkaline Trio- "Agony and Irony"-Epic-black 180g/???
3. Bayside- "Sirens and Condolences"-Victory Records- marble yellow/525
4. The Casket Lottery- "Real Fear"-No sleep records- Translucent Light Blue/300

I really like how the Blue came out on the new Casket Lottery. When ordering I was sort of like blue transparent, bleh, but I actually really enjoy it. Looks like the Touche Amore split 7" just not pink.

Went back on my Bayside speal, whatever! Had second thoughts and remembered I actually really enjoy the songs on that record. Plus the price was too right.

Fond memories with that Reggie LP. I had a friend in high school that I met in my English class in freshman year. He wore a different Metallica shirt everyday and love megadeth, pink floyd and shit like that. I also at the time loved hardcore. I scribbled band names on my folder like Hatebreed, Converge, Floorpunch, etc but I also dig tunes like Get up kids, Elliott, hot rod circuit and The Anniversary, some how we got a talking and ended up buds and from there he went from a dude who loved Metallica to a dude who loved all kinds of Emo stuff. Then ventured off on his own to love more instrumental stuff like Mogwai, album leaf, etc. I think he's the one who got me into explosions in the sky. All this is rather useless info but to the story, he had this tiny ass geo metro or something, we used to spin it out into snow banks in the school lot for fun and he put a sound system in it for whatever reason and we used to crank the bass just to see who could get nauseated first. Anytime we would roll up to a light and someone next to us was pumping rap real hard we'd blast "doot doot pause doot doot" crank the bass and look over and be all like "sup fool".

Been getting a lot of cool things in lately! Almost done back tracking and a bunch of more current stuff still to come in. Looking forward to slowing down!

1. Chamberlain- The Moon My Saddle 2xLP- Top Shelf Records- Pink Marble/100 (2nd press)
2. At The Drive-In- In Casino Out- Fearless Records- Clear/1500 (2nd press)
3. The Get up Kids- Something To Write Home About- Doghouse Records- Clear Red/??? (1st press)
4. Alkaline Trio- Good Mourning 2xLP- Vagrant Records- Clear blue/300 (2nd press)

A lot of classics in this one, also a lot of 2nd presses! I would like to hunt down to first single LP presses of chamberlain and alkaline trio. Im more of a fan of single LPs than double but at this point im taking what I can get. Good Mourning like Crimson, isnt THAT hard to come by, though people tend to want a little too much for them. Id take either a black or UK red press of Crimson as well, since i also have the 2xLP of Crimson. Chamberlain also tends to be put up for a big price as well, that no one is going to pay.

Picked up the Get up kids LP for an extremely reasonable price. I dont know why some people are paying the average of $40+ on ebay for the represses on pink and lavender! i picked this up half that with shipping! Brings back memories. My sister used to own this on what i think was black, so i used to put it on from time to time when she'd leave records in my room.

Good Mourning is on clear blue, but it came out a little darker since there is some black mixed in. It isnt listed as "black smoke" but essentically thats what it is.

Finally, Chamberlain, Top Shelf took it upon themselves to repress The Moon My Saddle, "Split Lips" most hated record, but i am pleased! Copies are still available at topshelf if you're into finding out why Kings Of Leon exist!
