Blood For Blood - Enemy (Record Store Day Press)

I was really looking forward to this years Record Store Day for a few reasons.  One, hopefully getting some new records, and Two, riding to Boo Boo Records with some my scooter club buddies.  I was definitely more excited about riding up to RSD, but this isn't a vintage scooter blog, it's a record blog.  SO, on with the records. 

Blood For Blood were one of the first hardcore bands that I ever listened to.  So when I saw that Victory was repressing this for RSD I was excited.  I don't listen to BFB as much anymore, but they will always have a special place in my heart. 

This ended up being the only RSD pressing that I got.  I passed on the Ignite record, and Boo Boo's only got one copy of the Misfits "Walk Among Us" and it was long gone by the time I got there.  I was told that are two colors of this 7", and that the white vinyl is out of 300 (and the most limited of the two).  I'm not sure what the other color is. 

I also picked up an old Northern Soul 45 by  N.F. Porter that is a freakin' jam! 

Keep The Faith! 

Studio One - SKA

When I started Nerd X Alert I set out to create a record blog that was dedicated to punk and hardcore records.  I broke that trend when I posted the Morrissey and Smiths records awhile back, but I figured since some hardcore kids have a hard on for Morrissey (myself included?) it wouldn't be that big of a deal.  So here we are and I'm posting a Studio One ska compilation. 

You wouldn't know from reading my blog, but the music that I most listen to these days is Skinhead Reggae, Rocksteady, Northern Soul, and Ska.  I picked up this gem at Boo Boo Records a few weeks ago, and since I haven't had a steady flow of records comming in I decided to post it here.  Along with Trojan Records and Treasure Island, Studio One is a favorite of mine for ska/skinhead reggae music.
