The American Scream

As mentioned a few times recently, I've been spending time trawling through the discographies of some older or longstanding record labels, trying to find things to listen to that I had never heard (or heard of) previously. At some point recently, I ended up perusing the Nemesis Records discography. Back in the early 90s I picked up a lot of their catalogue, but quickly realised that some of it was a bit questionable, so it ceased to be a label that I tried to collect every release by. But still, it seems there are some bits that I overlooked altogether, and included in this category is the Final Conflict 'The American Scream' 7". I had never heard this before, but checked it out online and it was definitely worth my time, so then and out of curiosity I looked to see if I could find one for sale. Immedistely I found a green vinyl copy for sale in the UK. Done. Easy.

The green vinyl is very pale. It's a nice colour, although I'm not sure that I captured it too well in this pic.

So when I went to add this to my collection on discogs, I noticed another copy for sale in the UK, and the description said that the vinyl was more yellow than green. So I couldn't help but grab that too. I mean, the brief bit of online research that I did on this seemed to suggest that all colour copies were on green, and all the photos I could find looked like the same pale green. So I took a chance on the yellowish copy.

Apparently this band formed in 1983, and in some form or other are still going. They don't appear to have released any new music for twenty years, but still play out from time to time. I wonder if they still play any of these songs? Anyone know?
