While it was cool to grab the Once And For All 7 inch at Wanna Hear It, and to actually buy an old 90's hardcore record that I'd never heard before, it was very exciting to also discover something completely new while I was digging through the shelves.
As I was flipping through 7 inches, I saw the cover of this Water Front record, and my first thought was "well, this looks like some 90's hardcore." The store had a label on the front listing that it was from 1992 and was for fans of Turning Point and Dag Nasty. Well, that was all that I needed to know and I added it to the pile of records that I was going to buy that day.
Man, I love finding shit like this... bands that I've never heard of, from my favorite era of music. While I don't know if you can really draw comparisons to Turning Point or Dag Nasty, it is some great early 90's hardcore... and as a huge fan of early 90's hardcore, this is gold to me.
I'm so glad that I found this record at Wanna Hear It. It seems that it was also pressed on blue vinyl, and maybe purple as well (or is that just a blue variant), but oddly it seems that there isn't a single copy of this record on Discogs for any pressing. Are people holding on to this because they don't think they are worth selling? Come on... someone sell the blue vinyl to me!
