revelation. 9 / 11 tracks / 1988

#1 - Unknown number of test pressings on black vinyl. Regular press on black in gatefold sleeve, runout grooves have numbers only. #2 - Like regular #1 copies, but the word „Carrotjuice“ has been added on B side runout grooves. #3 - Like #2, but „Ha Ha Ha“ has been added to side A matrix number („Carrotjuice“ still on side B). #4 - 10 test pressings on green vinyl. Regular press on black in regular (single) sleeve. Also included on the early Revelation split CD with Youth of Today.

Early Revelation release, typical 1988 NY straight edge hardcore, fast, rough and pretty simple. The Youth of Today influence is very strong, but Bold don’t have half their energy. Still, this is a solid release for fans of the early Revelation sound, but there are better records from that era. [6]

Früher Revelation-Kracher; lupenreiner 88er-New-York-Straight-Edge-Hard­core. Schnell, hart und recht einfach; Vorbild sind eindeutig Youth of Today, wobei aber Bold längst nicht deren Energie haben. Für Fans der frühen Revelation-Releases lohnt sich die Anschaffung mit Sicherheit; es gibt aber deutlich bessere Platten aus dieser Phase.
