A few months ago, Dischord started repressing some of their out of print classics on colour vinyl. I picked up a couple previously, but last week I got around to ordering the ones I was missing. I never ordered from the Dischord website before, but it was a pleasant experience. The stuff arrived in 4 or 5 days, and the even refunded me some postage money, since the postage costs I paid turned out to be higher than the actual shipping costs. Dischord has always represented integrity to me, and it's good to see they're still good, honest people.
They're obviously using a mix of different pressing plants to get these records made, since the vinyl and covers are of variable quality.
Flex Your Head comp LP - the sleeve is super thin card. It starts to bend in half the moment you take the record out. Not good. The vinyl is like the GZ vinyl, although to its credit it has a hand etched matrix:
Scream "Still Screaming" LP on white - this is the best of the bunch. The vinyl is US vinyl, and the sleeve is good thick card.
Dag Nasty "Wig Out At Denkos" LP. This is a GZ record, but the sleeve is good thick card.
Nation Of Ulysses "13 Point Program To Destroy America" LP. Like the Flex Your Head LP, this has a low quality thin sleeve. The vinyl isn't such a horrendously bright colour though.
