Last year, I found myself unable to get enough of those early 90's Hardcore bands. That time was special for me, the bands were unique, and I found myself spinning lots of Bad Trip, Eye For An Eye, Kingpin, and Black Train Jack. I was obsessed with these bands, and started looking for bands that I may have missed the first time around. That was when I discovered Mind Over Matter.
I'd heard their name mentioned "back in the day", but I'd never bothered with them. During my search for new early 90's bands, I started looking at the Wreckage label. Hey, they had Bad Trip and that first Die 116 record, so Mind Over Matter might be worth checking out. I managed to find a download of their first two 7 inches, plus a live radio set from '92, and I was hooked.
I kept checking eBay, but for months I came up empty with my search. I finally struck gold six months later with an auction that contained both of the records I was looking for...the self titled debut from 1992, and Hectic Thinking from 1993. As the only bidder, I won them for the opening price of $9.00.

Good band. The two LPs are good too. Also, for information purposes, the LPs are much easier to find on color wax than the 7"s. These 7"s on color are a pretty tough find. Or at least, they used to be.
I'm always surprised how rare that even Wreck-age black vinyl shows up on eBay. When I saw these two, I didn't want to let them pass me by. Colored vinyl must be damn near impossible to find.
I picked up these two 7"s on color at some point. I think I must have got them in the late 90s via the Rev trade board. But I remember at some point in the last few months seeing the second 7" on pink vinyl on ebay. I watched it for a few days because I kinda felt sorry for it. I didn't want it to languish on ebay and sell for fuck all. So even though I already had it, I almost bought it again. Unluckily for you though, I didn't win it. Sorry!
