Social Distortion “Mommys Little Monster” picture disc LP

One of the true characters of L.A.’s first hardcore wave, Social D’s frontman Mike Ness seemingly fancied himself a boot-boy Johnny Cash at the time of this 1983 release. The tales he spun–many of which were later borne out by stints in jail and drug treatment–blurred the line between American anti-hero and punk no-goodnik, between Cash and the Clash. And, unlike a lot of their Angeleno brethren, Ness and axeman Dennis Danell really knew how to write a song. Admittedly, this incarnation of the band is decidedly less accessible than the current edition. And while they may not be as anthemically inspiring as the more earnest work found on, say, Prison Bound, snotty proclamations like the title track and “It Wasn’t a Pretty Picture” stomp along with authority to spare.

ISIS “3.19.03” 2xLP

A limited edition vinyl version of the second ISIS live tour CD-R. Special limited edition double LP pressed in an edition of 1000. Recorded in Stockholm, Sweden, March 19, 2003. These are sure to sell out in a day or two so do not waste time on this one.
Note that this is a super D.I.Y. pressing on silk-screened/spray painted covers. There are no labels on the records and no band name listed on the covers. One LP is Red, the other is Green.

Bear Vs Shark “Terrorhawk” picture disc LP

The label that brought you the multi-color vinyl pressing of Bear Vs Shark’s Terrorhawk are back with a super duper limited picture disc pressing of the album. They are only making 200 more and of those, your friends at Vinyl Collective will be getting 100. Do not waste time as we will certainly sell out of these quickly.

And while you are at it, note that we only have like 15 of the colored vinyl version of the album, too. These will all be gone super fast.

Great news! The Every Time I Die vinyl box sets and the Tim Barry “Rivanna Junction” vinyl has just arrived. UPS was not stoked to be delivering 68 boxes of vinyl to our 2nd floor offices on one of the busiest shipping weeks of the year. Sorry UPS, but we have vinyl that needs to get into the hands of vinyl collectors all over the world. We opened up a copy of each record and let me tell you that they look absolutely beautiful. You will be stoked if you have pre-ordered either release. If you want to take a closer look, check out these links of photos of the entire packaging of each release:
