Adolescents – Welcome to Reality mixed color vinyl
Way back in the 1980s I got an Adolescents 7″ in a record trade from a good friend of mine. This single was called Welcome to Reality and it quickly became one of my favorite singles at the time and is a record that still gets played regularly whenever I’m listening to old punk records [...]
Adolescents – The Complete Demos purple vinyl
It has been awhile since we’ve seen some new colored vinyl action from Frontier Records. Some distributor problems and the summer saw a vinyl drought from one of the longest running and finest punk labels from the west (best) coast. That drought has finally ended with a new color vinyl pressing of an Adolescents LP, [...]
Suicidal Tendencies LP smoke colored vinyl
Much like the changing of wardrobes from winter to summer clothes, the Suicidal Tendencies LP (I’m talking about the only Suicidal Tendencies LP that matters, the first one) went and got itself all dolled up for the summer time. This new color is easily one of the best looking variations that this LP has ever [...]
Christian Death – Only Theater of Pain 30th anniversary remastered edition
The first Christian Death album was a masterpiece and a very influential piece of vinyl that was way ahead of its time. Nothing sounded like it when it came out and honestly while it certainly helped to pioneer the movement known as goth, I can’t think of any band that really sounds like Christian Death [...]
Adolescents LP turquoise vinyl
Spring means spring cleaning and there was some cleaning going on over at the pressing plant. They cleaned out the plates of the old color of the first Adolescents LP on Frontier Records and they poured in a brand new color just in time for Easter. Much like the Circle Jerks LP I wrote about [...]
Circle Jerks – Group Sex LP rootbeer vinyl
It is officially spring which means the grass turns green again, the weather hopefully warms up, skateboarding season has begun, the birds start chirping, and legendary punk rock albums get pressed on new colors of vinyl! Yes, with the changing of the seasons so comes the changing of the vinyl colors for the first Circle [...]
Christian Death – Only Theatre of Pain yellow vinyl
The Frontier Records 30th anniversary bash may have come and gone (which I unfortunately missed) but the celebration continues in round, flat, colored form with another new color of an old classic. Christian Death’s first album, and only one you need, Only Theatre of Pain, has just been issued on a sweet new color of [...]
Weirdos – We Got the Neutron Bomb purple vinyl
One of the oldest and certainly one of the finest first-wave Los Angeles punk rock bands just got a new colored vinyl makeover. The band I’m talking about is The Weirdos. The Weirdos are legendary in the annals of Southern California punk history as they were one of the earliest punk bands from that original [...]
Redd Kross – Born Innocent red vinyl
Frontier Records continues to keep the vinyl stream flowing with a new pressing of another one of its punk classics on one of the primary colors. The first Redd Kross LP, Born Innocent, has just been issued on a limited edition red vinyl platter. This cherry kool-aid looking disc comes housed in a standard jacket [...]
Adolescents LP orange vinyl
As Frontier Records celebrates its 30th birthday one of its many all-time classic releases is but one year shy of that same milestone. That release is the first (and best) Adolescents LP, commonly referred to as the “blue album”. This self-titled punk rock masterpiece turns 29 this year. It is shocking to think that this [...]
Dangerhouse Volume One clear vinyl
One of the finest labels in the punk rock world, Frontier Records, turned 30 this year. It’s hard to believe three decades have passed already since the world got its first taste of the Flyboys and the Adolescents. The label has been a little quiet recently but that changes now as it just pressed up [...]
Circle Jerks – Group Sex red vinyl
A label that has entered its 30th year in business, Frontier Records, just pressed up a new color of one of its legendary albums. The Circle Jerks first and easily their best album, Group Sex, just go pressed on cherry red vinyl. The album at this point needs no introduction, it is one of the [...]
Adolescents LP orange vinyl
The Adolescents first LP, commonly referred to as the “blue album” is one of those rare “perfect albums” in which every song on it is a classic. This is one of those albums that is an amazing listen from start to finish and one that you will likely never skip songs while playing it on [...]
Christian Death pink vinyl

An LP shaped box sitting on my doorstep could only mean one thing: a new pretty color vinyl edition of one of the label’s classic releases. This particular record happened to be another long [...]
Adolescents green vinyl
Well those purple vinyl ones sure didn’t last long as I received another new color of the legendary first Adolescents LP in the mail on a brand new color courtesy of the mighty Frontier Records. This time out this SoCal punk artifact is available on limited edition opaque green vinyl. It looks like some sort [...]
Suicidal Tendencies purple vinyl
Not to be outdone by its fellow classics, the first (and best) Suicidal Tendencies LP also got some new colored vinyl love recently as well courtesy of its only home, Frontier Records. The album that brought such classics as “I Saw Your Mommy” and what is perhaps the most famous punk rock song of all [...]
Circle Jerks – Group Sex LP purple vinyl
In the same package as the purple Adolescents LP from the previous post was another one of Frontier Records‘ classic LPs on a matching color. Circle Jerks – Group Sex LP is now available on translucent purple vinyl. Just like its purple cousin, this too is one of the greatest punk rock albums of all [...]
Weirdos – Weird World pink vinyl
The Weirdos were one of the first and one of the absolute best punk rock bands ever in the whole world. I don’t think there is such a thing as a bad Weirdos song and their Dangerhouse single is one of the best slabs of punk vinyl ever to be pressed. When Frontier Records first [...]
Rikk Agnew clear vinyl LP
Those wonderful ladies over at Frontier Records sent over a couple of new colored vinyl releases, the first of which is the first solo album by punk rock legend Rikk Agnew. Rikk Agnew – All By Myself LP on clear vinyl For those who don’t know, Rikk Agnew is a punk rock guitar pioneer who [...]

The fine folks at Frontier Records have a brand new release under their belts. This one comes in the form of a reissue of a long out of print 7″ that totally deserved to be brought back to life. Flyboys – Crayon World 7″ The Flyboys had the distinction of being the very first release [...]
New Circle Jerks and Heatmiser colors
A few days ago I received a familiar looking package from Frontier Records. I knew it would contain some new colored vinyl goodness but I had no idea which ones it would be. I opened the package like a kid opening a christmas present and found three shiny new records inside. One an all time [...]
