Screaming for GREEN!



Okay so a lot of people have been asking me the differences between the Uniform Choice - Screaming for Change original second press on clear green and the new re-press on clear green. So I decided to do a post showing all the differences.



First off the most noticeable difference is the colour. As shown here are 2 copies of the original 2nd press and a copy of the new re-press. Obviously the repress is much lighter when compared. However if you don’t have an original to compare it with there are a few other ways. If you look at the dead wax, you can see on the re-press it is smaller than on the original 2nd press.




Here you can also see the different shade of greens on the label. The re-press is much lighter.




Obviously the cover of the re-press is nice and new, but it is also a bit lighter than the 2nd press. 



The back covers are again identical except for the slight difference in colour.
Here is the original insert. The re-press does not come with an insert.



However if say someone had placed the cover and added an insert from a 2nd press on black there is one sure way to tell 100% what copy you have. The matrix is different. On the 2nd press there is actual writing in the matrix.

(tried to take a picture of it, but couldn't get the lighting right)

Second press A-side matrix;
“always remember as june turns into September…” “WW3–A” “L-2443”

Second press B-side matrix;
“your ideals were right, autumn fades to white.” “WW3-B” “L-244-X”

Re-press A-side matrix;
“WWR-003-A”

Re-press B-side matrix;
“WWR-003-B”


No Tolerance


Okay so I have really been getting into No Tolerance recently and they seem to constantly be in my rotation of records that are playing, definitely one of my favourite current bands. For those of you who haven’t heard them do yourself a favour and go check them out now!



So here is where it all started No Tolerance – Boston Straight Edge Demo for Edge Day #3.  Sweet looking tape!





The demo was later pressed on vinyl by 540 Records.
No Tolerance Test Press, out of 12. As you can see on the back cover mine is 12/12. The Test Press has an alternate cover, same design used on the back of the t-shirts.




Here is the gold version mine is 39/88, took me ages to find a copy of this, ended up having to wait for one to eventually turn up on eBay. 


Here is the complete No Tolerance - Boston Straight Edge Demo family, as you can see was pressed on black, these are out of 500.





Here is the latest 7” No Tolerance – No Remorse, No Tolerance. This is the Youngblood Showcase pre-release apparently out of 85 with blank red labels and screened in silver. Really nice look, love it! Also there is also a gold version of this out of 187, which I just found out about! Need to find a copy of this. Also need a test press, not sure how many tests there are.



Also pressed on Red out of 330 and black as pictured above.




Shown here is the difference between the pre-release cover and the regular cover. Sorry about the bad quality photos, next time will use a better camera.
