Californian Ritual

On my recent trip to California, there was a day when I popped round to visit Eva and Dave at Indecision Records HQ. I needed to pick up the Power Alone test press that I wrote about in my last post, but after a short chat and a quick look around the house to see what had changed in the last three years, I also got a few minutes to grab a small handful of records.

A couple of years ago Indecision reissued the first Unbroken LP, 'Ritual'. This record was first released by New Age Records in 1993, and despite Unbroken moving their catalogue to Indecision a long time ago, this record hasn't been pressed with the original artwork since the 90s. I didn't pick one up as I am genuinely trying to reduce the number of represses / reissues that I buy, but I really liked the look of this test press in a custon sleeve and was keen to take it home with me.

I also have a test press of the original pressing of this record on New Age which I traded for nine years ago, and even though I am not the biggest Unbroken collector, it's kinda cool to have tests of both versions.
