Yesterday i recieved my Youth crew 09 comps!!
i have been waiting for these for a good few months now and i honestly thought that they were never going to arrive Upside Down records threw in a copy of the lighten up/ big ups split, havn't had a chance to listen to it yet the art for it is terrible tho!
Onto the comps!
I originaly plaved an order for the comp on Orange /100, black /400 and then Heidi orderd me a test when upside down put some up to help pay the cost of changing one of the pressing plates. Soo all that was about 3-4 months ago? for some reason instead of sending out all the records at the same time they decided to first ship all the US orders and then the international orders. Fair enough i suppose they said about a month & a half ago that all the international orders had been shipped and i was stoked that i would finaly be getting these! quite a few weeks went by and other US orders that i made after these were finally posted arrived before these! i contacted Colby from the label and he said that if they hadnt arrived by the time he was home from tour ( 8 days) he would re send them. so 10 days went by and i contacted him and he asked what i wanted to do, i replied saying i just wanted the records and could he send them again.
i didnt get a reply and oddly the next day the records arrived witha postage date of july 15th (meaning they were shipped when he was on tour), hmm a bit odd but i am happy to have the records.

So the first thing you notice with these is the awesome oldschool cover! very early Rev stick and paste! This carrys onto the labels as well!
This is my "Orange" /100 altho by the looks of the black swirls in it i may have lucked out and gotten a transition! /20 or so
Below is my Test! obviously it is a Rejected test (hence the stamp!) i'm a bit annoyed that i didnt end up getting an accepted test press. The accepted ones had an awesome Decendents rip off sleeve that i would have loved! no matter it wasnt menat to be, prehaps one day i will pick one up with that sleeve!
the rejected test comes with a regular sleeve if you are wondering!
When i placed the order for these records i also orderd the Reveal the Truth demo tape! RTT are an amazing band and have a split 7" coming out on dead end records in november with the immence Outlast!
(not the euro outlast the new american outlast)
I love the RTT art!altho this tape still feels a bit bare .. must be the blank cassettes!
I also recieved my ticket for Bringing it down and BOLD in london next month!
Bringing it down have had mixed reception from all! I personaly think it will be a good laugh!
