Adrenalin O.D. – Let’s Barbeque reissue
In the 1980′s, New Jersey was a hotbed of quality hardcore bands. The kingpin of the NJ hardcore scene that revolved around the Buy Our Records label was Adrenalin O.D. who also happened to be one of the best bands that state ever produced. These guy played some great hardcore and had a wonderful sense [...]
New arrivals in the store
I just updated the store with a lot of older/rare punk records along with a couple of new releases. Check out out right here and pick up some vinyl for your loved ones for Xmas!
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 [...]
Government Issue – GI5 vinyl reissue
Government Issue was one of the two longest running punk rock bands from Washington DC (Fugazi being the other one) and they were certainly one of the best bands to ever come from that area. The band was rare in the fact that they got better as the years progressed while most bands got worse [...]
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, [...]
The Clash – Black Market Clash vinyl reissue
Way back in October 1980, Epic Records in America released an EP that collected a bunch of Clash songs that weren’t available on any releases domestically. This EP was a 10″ vinyl record that was part of Epic’s line of EP’s called Nu-Disk. Cheap Trick was another notable band to have a 10″ on Epic [...]
The Exploited – Troops of Tomorrow vinyl reissue
The Exploited were quite prolific in their early years. In the same year as their debut LP was released they also released a live album and the following year, 1982, saw them release another new studio album, Troops of Tomorrow. Just like the first album, this one was also originally released by Secret Records. Musically the [...]
The Exploited – Punks Not Dead vinyl reissue
While I was never a fan of The Exploited, I knew plenty of people who were. The band was an early point of entry for a lot of punks in the early 1980s and turned on a bunch of people I knew to British punk rock. Their music wasn’t overly original for the time but [...]
Motörhead first LP vinyl reissue
In 1983 Chiswick Records (who had the good taste to sign The Damned after they left Stiff) released the first Motörhead LP and a metal/rock and roll institution was born that still lives on today. Motörhead is one of the longest running metal bands in history and they were certainly one of the more influential [...]
The Clash first LP vinyl reissue
The Clash were one of the first UK punk bands in the 1970s and one of the more diverse. The band achieved some mainstream success too with a few of their later records before the band splintered apart and members went their separate ways (or put out one final album under the Clash name which [...]
Agent Orange – Living in Darkness vinyl reissue
Way back in 1981 the legendary Posh Boy Records released the first LP by Agent Orange which is easily one of the best Southern California punk rock albums of the decade it was released in. Living in Darkness featured eight songs that blended surf with melodic punk. While everyone started playing hardcore, Agent Orange stuck [...]
Suicidal Tendencies “venison” color vinyl LP
One of the most legendary punk rock albums of all time got another new colored vinyl face lift for the new year. The first Suicidal Tendencies LP, an album that was one of the quintessential albums of my punk rock youth, is now available on “venison” colored vinyl. This color is a sort of grape/maroon [...]
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 [...]

Those of you who are record collectors and fans of Metallica (the real Metallica back when they ruled) should find this of great interest. Warner Bros. Records just released a limited edition red vinyl version of Kill ‘em All and is offering it for sale on their website. The record is a 2x180gm record that [...]
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 [...]
Peace Corpse – Terror of Quincy LP
Toxic Shock Records just sent over this newly released punk rock artifact, one that I hold very dear to my heart. The record you see is a newly released album containing much of the old Peace Corpse material and is called Terror of Quincy. My love for Peace Corpse, especially their first 7″, has been [...]
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 [...]
Government Issue – G.I.’s First Demo purple vinyl
After being out of print for a few years now, the Government Issue – G.I.’s First Demo 7″ EP is back in print for a limited time. Released on my own label, Spontaneous Combustion Records, this EP features a pre-Legless Bull Government Issue and is a true DC Hardcore artifact. All the songs on this [...]

One of the finest punk rock records ever to come out of Washington DC just got a long overdue reissue on vinyl and that is the masterpiece titled Joyride by Government Issue!

This Saturday is the Xmas of record collecting, the annual Record Store Day! This event started a few years ago in an effort to promote independent record stores and has since grown into a big deal for anyone who collects music, specifically music on the superior format known as vinyl!
