hardcore records on ebay — aggregated and examined
I am back - and reunited w/ my internet access. I gotta post this right now. Honestly if I’d not just dropped a sizable amount on a couple of records I’d probably be buying 2 or 3 of these. Original Kevin Crowly and Sean Taggert shit ain’t easy to come by.
I’m not sure who the seller is on this stuff but they clearly are an older person. They have 2 items sold in their completed auctions: an original Black Flag flyer and a test press of Jealous Again. Currently for sale they have:
- Red Cross - posh boy 12″ test pressing (Red Kross…)
- UXA - Illusions of Grandeur test press
- Germs - What We Do is Secret 12″ Test press
- and an unused As A Parent, I Found It An Anti-Parent Record sticker
Some of this stuff says “given to me by the band”. The sticker says: “This is one of the last Unstuck stickers on the sheet. We put them on the Damaged records in 1981 at the pressing plant.”
Pretty killer. Hopefully even more cool stuff comes soon. Can anyone identify the model in the studded jacket for sale?

PS: Tip of the hat to Nick from Prema. I posted some of his auctions a couple weeks ago and definitely laid into his former band and 90’s HC in general, he emailed me though, and was a good sport about it all. He’s currently busy doing mega-deluxe metal vinyl like a Rotting Christ boxset, and a gold (yes actual gold) Mayhem lp. I have no idea where you even order something like that but as soon as I know I’m moving to exclusively release records on that format.
Another day pressed for time… check out more cool looking 80s japanese compilations. why do they always look the best?
Sakevi (see gism post) put together the art for this one and it’s more of his famous collage stuff. A crucial mix of 1st gen. Japanese punk and hc.
Iconic sleeve on this one with the demonic punk rocker. Love the g-zet tracks, one of the first punk bands to really go all out in their motorhead worship which happens to sit particularly well with me. bass heavy and driving.
Systematic death just played nyc, rhode island, and portland over the weekend. I saw them in New York on Friday and they were all power and speed, just drilling through hits from this comp and their records like they hadn’t been broken up for the past 20 years.
Hey, it’s post #100 for us today. Thanks for all the positive feedback and support so far. Hopefully this will stay interesting for everyone and we can keep having fun… Got some quick 1 or 2 liners today for a picture post… Feel free to leave your comments.
Love the CXA song on here. Super sludgy intro. Definitely the best Turning Point song on this comp too. Actually pretty much everything is awesome. Kind of a lesser Burn song, but it’s still Burn.
It’s kind of weird that I think this record cover looks so cool, because it’s just a bunch of scratches or pen marks, but it’s always looked super cool to me. From a time when taking the name “pure hate” would not have been associated with a scally cap.
Oh you’re gonna want that Cruck track. Maybe not for this price, but you’re gonna want and need it. Are they the America’s Hardcore of Japan? Maybe they should get more credit than that… Comp track only bands… HOW FRUSTRATING.
Seriously… this record’s not even good. My rule of thumb though, is I’ll buy any Spazz record I don’t have for $5 or less. Even when the vocals get super stupid, the song’s about underwear, and there’s a banjo overdub into a Welcome Back Cotter sample, you can find a good riff. It’s just usually followed by like… a duet between Elmo and Grover. I respect the guys in the band though. They had a good hustle even though making “Power Violence” “funny” was the worst move ever.
Just a quick one today, found someone selling a very respectable Japanese HC collection with all the big names past and present. What caught my eye was 3 big time genre compilations:
Lots of cool sampler 12″s came out of Japan in the 80’s and 90’s, and I really think all three of these are cool looking on top of that. Have a look –
