Enough Euro Tour

If you haven't heard Common Visions from Enough, you are missing out. They don't seem to be a big name that people tend to throw around. They aren't on a big time label like Triple B or Back To Back. But after releasing a demo, two 7 inches, and then dropping an LP last year...why are you still not paying attention to this band?

Enough released their album through Assault Records last year, and followed it up with a European tour...and with a tour, you know that you've got to have a special tour pressing.

Another solid rip off design! With their last 7 inch, Enough gave a nod to Crippled Youth with their pre-order cover, so it is only fitting that they take on Bold's Speak Out cover for the LP.

Numbered and limited to 75.

When I pulled out the vinyl, it looked like there were bits of paper stuck to the record. I tried to wipe it off, but to my surprise the paper wasn't on the record, but actually IN the vinyl. It doesn't affect the play of the record, but it looks as though some scrap pieces of paper fell into the wax when the pressing plant was in the process of making the records.

Give Me Twelve Inches

After feeling lukewarm to Give when their first 12 inch dropped in 2009, I've latched on to the band in a big way over the past year. My current collection of 19 pieces of vinyl is proof of that. While I'm still missing many of the limited covers for the 7 inches, I'm not going to miss out on any pre-orders for the band. When Assault Records announced the Singles Going Confetti collection LP, I jumped on it.

The record itself is just a compilation of their 7 inch songs, plus one unreleased song. Still I didn't hesitate to order, and I got in soon enough to score a copy with the limited cover.

I'm pretty sure that this was just for pre-orders, and not available on their Euro tour...or maybe it was available for both.

Yellow and black swirl vinyl was used with the limited cover pressing.

Limited to 110.

Assault also pressed this on yellow vinyl, out of 160. Man, everything about that record cover looks great...the layout...the use of color...it's a great look.

Black vinyl was limited to 260.

Common Visions Of Enough

Enough have got to be one of the most productive bands in Hardcore, right now. A demo in 2010, two 7 inch records in 2011, and then a full length LP in 2012. Impressive.

The new album, Common Visions, is head and shoulders above all of their other releases. The production, the songs, the packaging...all top notch. I was lucky enough to catch this band in Boston a while back, and I would love for them to make a stop on their next tour.

Baby blue vinyl was used for pre-orders. Dust sleeves were stamped and numberd out of 98.

400 pressed on clear vinyl.
