Break Down the Walls

today was a good day for post!
dispite not getting my dead and gone order like i was expecting i recieved a one up.
earlier in the the week i was watching this record expecting it to rocket as it allways has when i have watched it previously, however to my surprise the record stayed at its £2 starting price! so i snapped it up!
Youth Of Today, Break down the walls!
easily one of the best records i now own !
just a lil bit of info on its pressing etc before i get down to it

from what i can figure out it is either the 1988 2nd press or the 2001 final press i do believe that it is the 2nd press as it came with a 1993 mail order cataloug (3rd press wasnt until 1997) which is very nice indeed ( makes me wish i bought it new so i could have orderd everything else off the list)
the matrix says the usual "rev 8", its number and has "RE 1" which i hope means its the first reissue.

I first heard this album when i was just getting out of street punk and into hardcore a good manner of years ago now. Youth Of Today along with Gorrilla Biscuits, Bold and Judge (to name a few) were very infulential in getting me into hardcore and other genres.
Ray of todays vocals seemed so differnt to the usual slack jawed punk i had previously been listening to and i couldnt stop listening i found other bands through this music that mean so much to me. its a surprise that i havnt gotten a copy of this on vinyl before now, its a very positie step towards completing the collection!

in other youth crew news Alfie is now down with the GB crew!

thats my boy!
