Greetings, and welcome to the Dying Scene Record Radar. If it’s your first time here, thank you for joining us! This is the weekly* column where we cover all things punk rock vinyl; new releases, reissues… you name it, we’ve probably got it. Kick off your shoes, pull up a chair, crack open a cold one, and break out those wallets, because it’s go time. Let’s get into it!
Check out the video edition of this week’s Record Radar, presented by our friends at Punk Rock Radar:
The almighty Against All Authority‘s 1998 album All Fall Down is being reissued in honor of its 25th anniversary. I haven’t seen any official announcement from the band, but it’s available to pre-order on red colored vinyl with a listed release date of October 27th. Get it here and save 10% with code THANKS10.
Another record turning 25 this year is Good Riddance‘s Ballads from the Revolution. Fat Wreck has repressed the album on yellow w/ blue splatter colored vinyl and the same silver accents on the cover art as their other 25th Anniversary reissues. Get it here.
And that’s not the only anniversary reissue from Fat this week, because apparently The Flatliners‘ Dead Language was released a decade ago. Time flies! Fat has a variant exclusive to their webstore, and Dine Alone Records has additional colors on their store as well.
And because you can never have enough Fat Wreck releases on the Record Radar, here’s another one! The label has some copies of No Use For A Name‘s Incognito on clear colored vinyl up on their store; these are leftovers from the No Use Black Box that was released last year. So if you somehow missed out on the box set or just want a copy of this specific record, you’re in luck!
Keeping with this week’s theme of anniversary reissues, Social Distortion‘s debut album Mommy’s Little Monster is getting a 40th anniversary reissue. There are a handful of retailer exclusive color variants for this one, including Brooklyn Vegan (500 copies, grey), Craft Recordings (black & white marble), and a clear smoke variant you can find at most independent record stores, to name a few.
Here’s a cool Replacements tribute album featuring Mikey Erg, Timeshares, Jon Snodgrass, Sammy Kay and a bunch of other cool people/bands. It comes out October 27th on Creep Records; you can get it on three color variants here.
Newbury Comics (aka the home of the $35 LP) has a new exclusive variant of Ignition by The Offspring, limited to 500 copies on gold colored vinyl. If you want to buy it, have at it. I refuse to pay $35 for a single record. Fuck that.
Tooth & Nail one ups Newbury Comics with a $40 LP! What is happening??? Anyway, it’s a Ninety Pound Wuss compilation album. It’s $40. If that sounds good to you, you can buy it here.
A mystery color variant of 88 Fingers Louie‘s Back on the Streets recently popped up on Revelation Records’ distro. They don’t specify if it’s a new 25th anniversary pressing or just someone leftover copies of the 2019 reissue someone found in a box… at the very least, it’s way cheaper than any of the Discogs listings, so why not roll the dice?
Well, that’s all, folks. Another Record Radar in the books. As always, thank you for tuning in. If there’s anything we missed (highly likely), or if you want to let everyone know about a new/upcoming vinyl release you’re excited about, leave us a comment below, or send us a message on Facebook or Instagram, and we’ll look into it. Enjoy your weekend, and don’t blow too much money on spinny discs (or do, I’m not your father). See ya next week!
