Anyone who reads this thing regularly may have noticed that I have picked up a few classic Nardcore records this year that were repressed by It's Alive Records. And here is another one. Ill Repute are regarded as pretty much the first Nardcore band, and their first LP 'What Happens Next' has achieved classic status. Originally released back in 1984 on Mystic Records, this has been repressed a couple of times over the years, but this year's repress on It's Alive is the first time that the recorc has been pressed on colour vinyl.
As with all It's Alive releases, this one came sealed with a sticker, but I managed to get in without damaging the sticker in any way.
The record comes on clear vinyl, and there were 150 made. According to discogs, there were only 90 copies that were sold. If that is true, I'm not sure what happened to the other 60.
The numbering is on a small insert. I got a nice low number too.
And as usual with all It's Alive releases, this one is stuffed full of extras... posters, stickers, labels, flyers etc. You can see the record in the bottom right of this next photo. It looks small compared to the mass of paper stuffed inside this record.
I'd never heard this band before, and it's a lot of fun. The songs are short and fast. 11 songs done in 16 minutes. I guess it's difficult to understand how things were back in 1984, but this probably sounded revolutionary back then. I can see why another band named themselves after this record. Anyway, this is well worth checking out if you haven't heard it before.
