Description
Turning Point, "It's Always Darkest... before the Dawn". 1st pressing- 500 made
New Age was like the Revelation Records of the west coast. Clear Vinyl is sexy, and in MINT condition. Lyric sheet insert is in >excellent condition. Cover is in very good condition with very minor wear.
I used to stage dive. A lot. Compulsively. Until I developed the confidence to hang in the pit. Then I was compulsive about that. I would not go in today. I would probably die. Always got psyched when this Turning Point played.
I'm Fast Ali and I am liquidating my record collection, holding almost nothing back, starting with LP's. If this goes well, I'll do 7"s next. It funny, doing this has stirred up a lot of emotions, so yeah, this hurts a little.
I'm just done serving as custodian to things. I'm simply seeking a more zen-like existence, completely focused on tattooing. So, I'm looking for new homes for this vinyl I amassed, mostly in the 90's. These records have been safely stored for about 2 decades.
This auction ends on Sunday, January 27th between 10:00am - 5:00 pm. During those hours, I and the records will be at the "Nerd Flea Market" held at Artisinal tattoo in Somerville, NJ. There, you can inspect the records you have your eye on before bidding, and if you win, you can save on shipping, pay cash, and carry your winning(s) home for good. You can also pick up your item(s) at Seppuku Tattoo in Bloomingdale, NJ.
If you can't make it, don't worry, I'll be happy to ship anywhere. For combined orders in my lot, just add $2 for each additional item.
I will ship internationally at buyers expense, and buyers risk. Let me know your preferred method of shipping, and I will accomodate all reasonable requests. Keep in mind that insurance and customs can get tricky when shipping internationally.
Feel free to ask any questions about the items to identify what pressing or whatever. And you can contact me if you need additional pictures. I'll do my best to fulfill all reasonable requests.
Last, this is from Wikipeia:
from wikipedia: Turning Point was a straight edge hardcore band from New Jersey that existed from 1988 to 1991 Their early releases had the sound of straight edge hardcore of the time, with lyrics relating to social issues or being straight edge. The later material was a lot more emo influenced, integrating more emotional lyrics, softer vocal delivery and octave chords.
This eventually led the way for other straight edge/hardcore bands to do so, such as Split Lip, Falling Forward, etc.
Lead singer Skip Candelori and guitarist Jay Laughlin previously formed Moorestown, New Jersey-based Pointless. Ken Flavell, drums, originally played drums with brother Chris Flavell in the early southern New Jersey hardcore band, Failsafe. Nick Greif, bass, previously played bass in the late 80's straight-edge hardcore band, Awareness. Matthew Kerfoot, guitarist in Awareness, was Greif's original choice to play drums in Turning Point. Kerfoot declined, opting to leave for college.
Candelori died in 2002 of an accidental drug overdose
