Description
Hello!
The record is in excellent condition all around. The super rare red ink, Cro Mags Age of Quarrel demo 10". Original press with red ink and serifed numbers on the back cover. The third press of this EP - which looks identical - did not feature serifed numbers. I've posted some very thorough info about it below from discogs. Really good read from the person who made the record. Due to it's value, this will ship via insured priority mail and require signature.

as you may know, #cromags #ageofquarrel demo tape was released as a 10" in 1991. since there is a lot of confusion about the different versions and their genealogy, I reached out to the producer of the original version of the 10" and asked him to clear things up. but first, let me tell you about my own involvement in the release of this: my buddy X reached out to me in 1990 and asked me for help. he had bought the original demo on his first trip to ny in 1987 and it had competely blown him away. not only musically, but also in the (unfortunate, if you ask me) sense of attracting him to hare krshna, a bizarre religious cult that at the time was pestering parts of the #hardcorepunk scene (not the brightest parts, one might say). well, I had my second thoughts about supporting a band like cro-mags by distributing their infantile attitudes and views (musically, I liked them since seeing them live in 1986), but X is the sweetest guy you can imagine, I couldn't say no. so since I had a studio session booked - and this is where it gets really ironical, in the hindsight - for my old band #fearofgod (a group not to keen on religion and such), I took X with me to that session. it took place in st. gallen, in a tiny studio right above the notorious "galgentobel" (valley of the gallows) - a creepy and beautiful place where I spent a lot of time in the early 1970s when I was a child.
anyway, after transferring my band's tapes that became a live ep entitled "pneumatic slaughter“ (first released in the u.s., then in germany and recently in italy), we transferred the cro-mags demo. I did my best in getting the sound right, helped X through the mastering job (which also took place in st. gallen) and then pointed him to the pressing plant - just basically using the same infrastructure we used for our own label #offthediskrecords . so that one session in the valley of the gallows resulted in two releases - one by a militant atheist band that in the 80s had set out to destroy music and as much superstition as possible. and the other was, well, cro-mags. in eastern switzerland. can't make this shit up.
and what about the 10" pressing variations? here's what X said (translated): "the original pressing of 1500 has a red logo and is numbered. when cro-mags toured germany, I made a second pressing, which the band commisioned from me [X had already compensated cro-mags, or maybe just a part of the band, for the initial pressing. so technically, it's quite debatable whether it is a bootleg or not. - megawimp]. so I reprinted the 10", this time using the green lettering. without my knowledge, Frank (a friend of ours, founder of the swiss label Far Out) produced another 1500 copies, with red letting again. I can't recall how my first and his third pressing differ. I think he may have used a different stamp for numbering. mine had serifs [see picture from my own first pressing - megawimp].“ PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL MY ITEMS FEATURE 1.50 SHIPPING ON EACH ADDITIONAL ITEM.
