This is where they turned from a great band into a legend. With the release of Life. Love. Regret. they changed the course of hardcore history. One of if not the most important record of the 90s. You need this!!!
Only pressed two times and was out of print for a very long time until the discography release hit the streets. Which actually means that the Album is still out of print. But so what. Actually you need all their stuff anyway and the Reissue. Repackage. Reevalute. release is the easiest way.
For RSD 2014 Indecision Records did a beautiful 20th anniversary pressing bu it sold out quickly so again it's out of print.


TEST PRESS
no idea how many were made but i believe there was only one set of test pressings made for the original two pressings. no idea if Indecision did a Test Press for the 20th anniversary edition.

For some reason the 1st press covers and Todd Beattie side of the insert didn't come out the way they were supposed to so New Age fixed that on the 2nd press. Also this time around they used glossy paper for the lyric insert.

here are some comparisons of the differences between 1st and 2nd press:

Although the images are a lot clearer on the 2nd press I also love the way the 1st press covers look. Somehow I feel it fits the overall mood of the record just a little better.

this is the best picture I could take to show the difference between the 1st press flat and 2nd press glossy lyricsheet

You can clearly see the issue the band/label had with the way this came out the first time around. So for the 2nd press they slightly changed the layout and now you can actually read what Todd Beattie wanted to get across. I just don't know why they chose to zoom in on the Doré painting they used for the background?

For some reason the Catalogue no. etched into the matrix isn't the correct one as featured on the jacket's spine and the labels website.
