Now this is what I like to see. This picture disc version of Hot Cross’s Risk Revival still comes in full packaging instead of letting the disc itself act as the packaging. This is a nice gatefold with really great artwork. Just let the pictures speak for themselves. 2007 Equal Vision/Level Plane Records.

Track List:

Side A:
01. Exits And Trails
02. Turncoat Revolution
03. Resent Resist Rebuild
04. Fire The Foundations
05. Cardiac Silence
06. Kill The Name

Side B:
01. Silence Is Failure

Black Flag – Everything Went Black (Previously Released Black Flag Recordings 1978 – 1981)

Everything Went Black is a compilation album released by Black Flag in 1983 on SST Records which chronicles the different (pre Rollins) eras of the band with their different singers. This record was first released during the band’s legal dispute with Unicorn/MCA Records over the distribution of the band’s 1981 release Damaged. During this period, the band was not allowed to release any material. They did anyway. The first pressing of this record had the name “Black Flag” blacked out and the Black Flag logo was whited out. The names of the band members appeared in the black bars over the band’s name, the only indicator that this was a Black Flag record. Later pressings of the record came after the lawsuit was settled so the name and logo did not need to be covered up. As you can see by the pictures, my copy of the record is a later pressing. The first three sides are comprised of early recordings featuring the bands early singers: Keith Morris (Johnny “Bob” Goldstein), Ron Reyes (Chavo Pederast), and Dez Cadena. Side D contains the track “Crass Commercialism” which is a compilation of radio advertisements for Black Flag shows.
