I didn't really expect to find much in the 7 inch bin, but I think I made a pretty good score with three copies of the Soul Control split with I Rise. This record was a big deal for me back when it was released, and I listened to these four songs a ton. I only owned the regular black vinyl pressing, so it was cool to scoop these all at once. Good deal at $4 each.
Blue vinyl with the handmade labels was the "friends press".
Numbered dust sleeve out of 100 pressed.
Armageddon also had a couple of tour pressings of the split 7 inch.
Cali weekend tour sleeve. Numbered out of 108.
Soul Control and I Rise toured together over the summer when this split 7 inch was released. Each band had different tour covers, with Soul Control selling the pink ones.
It's been over ten years since this record was released, and I've never really hunted down any colored vinyl or special covers, but now that I have these three, I kind of want more. Too bad Armageddon didn't have the I Rise version with the green cover as well.
More records to come, but I did get a photo of Sandwell and I after our shopping trip, and refueling with some vegan food from the Clover Food Lab in Harvard Square. I was a bit jealous of the Iron Age 7 inch that he found.

Soul Control was imho very underrated. Involution was an amazing record.
Involution was great, but I never got into anything after that first album.
I think that blue vinyl Soul Control / I Rise split is a great version. I have one. But I think they all had completely different hand drawn labels. Would be cool to collect a few different ones...
Hey Mike. I have the Green I Rise cover, as well as the white soul control cali weekend cover. I listed them on discogs (my username is x516x). But if you are interested im happy to pull them down and sell directly to you. feel free to email me (remainsunseen@gmail.com) or message me through discogs.
