Boston 7" Haul

On the last day of my last US trip I did the same as I have done for the last four December trips, and visited Wanna Hear It Records. It's a really good shop, with a good balance of new and used releases, and I always seem to manage to find some cool stuff in there, and this trip was no exception. One area of the store that is enjoyable (but time consuming) is the used 7" section.

This year I pulled out a bunch of stuff, most of which were in the $2 - $5 range, which is insanely cheap when compared to what things like this would cost either at home or online. Generally I didn't buy anything mindblowing, but for the price I couldn't leave these behind.

Shown in the photo are:

Blacklisted 'Live From Nowhere' (6131 Records) - Blue vinyl
Blacklisted 'Live At The BBC' (Six Feet Under Records) - Clear vinyl
For The Worse 'The Chaos Continues' (Bridge Nine Records) - Blue vinyl
Not Sorry 'Moving On' (Salad Days Records) - Blue vinyl
Panic 'S/T (Bridge Nine Records) - Clear vinyl
Piece By Piece / Donnybrook 'Split' (? ) - Clear vinyl
Restless Youth ' (Painkiller Records) - Dark Red vinyl (2 copies)
Stand & Fight 'Impact Demo' (Bridge Nine Records) - Red vinyl
Stand & Fight 'S/T' (Bridge Nine Records) - White vinyl
Waste Management 'Power Abuse' (Painkiller Records) - White vinyl
Voicebox 'Silence Lies' (Workshed Records) - Blue vinyl ***

Of the above 12 records, I already owned 7 of them on different colours. But there's something about cheap 7"s that is impossible to say no to. And it always seems that for the 7"s I already own, Wanna Hear It always seems to have the colours that I don't have in their racks. A lethal combination.

*** The Voicebox 7" is an interesting one. I already own too many copies of this 7", and wasn't really looking to buy more, but as soon as I slid this one out of its sleeve to check the colour, I thought that it looked more clear than my other blue copies. For $3 I decided to take it home to find out. Turns out I was right. The new copy is the one on the right in this photo.
