Too much pressure...

is what the postman applied to the package when he folded it like a taco and stuffed it thru the mail slot. To add insult to injury this has one of those funny hand colored sleeves with doodles inside which according to tales of lore is limited to 25 copies. Could be a fake since it is paired up with 2nd press vinyl but who the hell knows some 30 years later. This comes from Jeroen of the Netherlands who said it was purchased for $3 in the late 80's and broken in 91. Thats some "back in the day" breakage n shit. I have severely neglected this blog but not too much shit has come my way in terms of broken record stories, hell this was sent to me over a year ago. Guess i'm just lazy.

Why don't you just flatten up, off my turntable, your vinyl warp is just too much.

Looks like this lp was used to break down a wall. Coming to us from our ex-Xed friend Steve Guttenberg over at chronic death records. Steve was psyched to get this from his dads old friend until he pulled it out and saw this edge was definitely broken.

Half Circle One.

Found this laying around, thrown under a pile of shitty records at a local shop. After pulling it out and wondering why on earth it was not out for sale, the owner told me to pull out the vinyl. It was cracked exactly in half and taped back together. Worthless the store owner said. I thought otherwise and sold it on ebay for $50 radio call letters and all. Ebay, what a silly place.

Anti Anything/Everything?

Here's a very confused insert that comes from Brian Dropdead. "i got an Antisystem 7" with this insert in it from a record store in Bradford UK circa 1998".

That anarchy swastika is hilarious.

Ripped up like shredded wheat!

All hell broke loose on this red vinyl legacy, actually all heaven broke loose on it. This was in the collection of some young punkers dad. One day his wife found jesus and decided to break all his devil music. Grabbed the lp and snapped it in half. Even with the lp unplayable and the cover being bent all the way across the lp still sold for $50 on ebay. The halloween and 3 hits 7"s are from an old ebay auction, not sure what they ended up selling for. And the last in our unholy trilogy are swiss cheese copies of earth ad and walk among us. They come from collector extraordinaire Neggie T. Heres the scoop "Won a lot auction of lps in "playable to great condition"....the only 2 in the lot that were unplayable were the ones I wanted. "

Vinyl In Pain.

Recently set free from the collection of an old lehigh valley punker, this United Blood could use a little public assistance. The sleeve, while not as trashed as it could be for a radio station copy, annoyed Mr Sledge so much he just needed to get rid of that pesky "e.p." on the cover, now it looks much better. The vinyl has a gigantic chip that misses the first song on both sides by 1 lead in groove. How could this have happened? Guess there was just too much pressure and the vinyl busted. If anyone held onto this chip in hopes of finding, a sleeve, an insert, and vinyl hit me up.
