hardcore records on ebay — aggregated and examined
A rarely seen, but much less valuable than the colored vinyl edition of Youth Of Today’s “Break Down The Walls” is this black and yellow sleeve variant on Wishingwell records. I may be wrong but I think this might have been pressed after the Revelation edition already existed. I’ve heard some number like 250 copies thrown around for how many were made but I have no idea where to confirm that. There’s some speculation as to whether this edition was entirely approved by the band and may have been produced to fill out left over vinyl from the first press. I’ve heard a variety of stories, none of which have been corroborated with any hard evidence. All I know is that you see this version very infrequently. I want to kind of speculate and say that sometime in the future more people are going to realize how hard this one is to find and start paying more for it, but right now it usually doesn’t break $100. If you’re a hard-core YOT fan this is the kind of thing you’re going to be happy to get sooner rather than later.
While you’re looking, you can pick up We’re Not In This Alone, and Can’t Close My Eyes 12″ edition, and a bunch of other later 80’s NY-Centric releases.
Oh, and don’t forget THESE.
There was one for sale at AKA in Philadelphia. $100.00.
This was a few weeks ago. It may or may not still be there.
CC…it’s the cassette version of this pressing (the black and yellow cover) which is extremely limited. This came out way before Rev had the rights to press it. Had to be 1987-1988 because Some Records carried this and the cassette. -Dave K.
yea but the black and yellow sleeve is definitely not a full pressing right? tell me i haven’t just imagined that it is.
I would guess 1,000, but I don’t think anybody knows the real deal on that one since the paper records on the manufacture I’m sure are long gone…I know Duane was the only one in NYC selling it and it was gone quickly. The tape is the really rare thing though.
