revelation. 2 / 7 tracks / 1987
First pressing: 600 on black, 400 on orange/gold vinyl (2 or more are orange/black swirl). Some orange copies have a Batman or Superman stamp on inner sleeve. Second press: around 300 on black. Yellow insert (first one was white). Sleeve either in two pieces or folded at the top. 3rd press: 100 on yellow. 4th press: Around 100 on black with xeroxed sleeve.
The first Revelation compilation; with Warzone (solid NYHC with a flat production), Gorilla Biscuits (good song in the style of their first EP), Bold (angry NYHC à la Youth of Today), Youth of Today (good and powerful, unfortunately the recording has way too much reverb), Sick of it all (wild and fast hardcore, great), Side by Side (solid NYHC with a flat production) and Supertouch (noisy mid-tempo hardcore, not too interesting). Most of the songs would have been a lot better with a better production. GB’s and SOIA are best. [6]
Früher Revelation-Sampler mit Warzone (Ordentlicher NYHC, leider ist die Produktion ziemlich flach), Gorilla Biscuits (Guter Song im Stil der ersten 7”), Bold (Wütend/poltriger NYHC à la Youth of Today), Youth of Today (Gut & kraftvoll, Sound ist leider viel zu hallig, grausam), Sick of it all (Wilder und schneller HC, mit der beste Song der EP), Side by Side (Ordentlicher NYHC, klingt leider total flach und leise, schade) und Supertouch (Krachiger, mittelschneller HC, nicht so doll). Zum Teil wirklich gute Musik, schade, daß die meisten Tracks durch die miese Produktion sehr viel an Power verlieren.
Tracks: Warzone - as one / Gorilla Biscuits - better than you / Bold - talk is cheap // Youth of Today - together / Sick of it all - my life / Side by Side - violence to fade / Supertouch - searchin for the light
