throwdown – drive me dead 7“
blogging
about one's vinyl collecting can bring opportunities of getting some rare
stuff. this insight view struck my mind as i read an e-mail i got by a nice
chap from england. he said that he read my wantlist and wanted to get rid of
some records that were on it. he linked his trade list on dead format in the
mail and after exchanging some mails we made a deal on two records i wanted
badly.
first one was throwdown's 2nd 7“ 'drive me dead'. by now it's 13
years old, the coloured run was pretty limited and the music is simply good.
these three components made it quite hard to get. never saw one on ebay and
none on discogs too. so i was really happy that this worked out.
the vinyl, the sleeve and the insert are in great condition. this kind of
marbled pink vinyl looks really awesome. can't explain why someone would chose
this colour though but it is an eye catcher definitely. 300 made. indecision
records. 2000.
throwdown – you don't have to be blood to be family
the 2nd record i could make part of the deal was
throwdown's sophomore full length, also on indecision records. pretty much the
same problems i faced with the 'drive me dead' 7“ made this album equally hard
to come by. but the seller made it a reasonable price.
the condition of the record in fact wasn't that good. there is a pretty
ugly ding in the bottom right corner and the vinyl itself has some strange
volume fluctuations in the first song. i'm not too much of an expert to
know what the problem is. probably just a bit worn out? whatever, i'm pleased to
have it anyway.
the music is not as strong as on the forerunning 'drive me
dead' release but it's throwdown and therefore it's a killer nevertheless. the
clear red with some black streaks vinyl looks real nice and matches the colour
scheme of the cover perfectly. feels good to cross this two records off my
wantlist ;)
341 made. indecision records. 2001.
