Cali Smile

I recently scored a gorgeous first pressing of one of my favorite grindcore releases ever, hell, one of my favorite records period. In Disgust - "Reality Choke" 10", which is a modern fucking classic, and if you haven't heard this yet, shame on you and do it immediately. 

I've talked about this record endlessly, I never run out of good things to say about it. It's just perfect in every way; the recording is devastatingly heavy, the guitars are absolutely pummeling, the vocals are scary deep, and the groovy breakdowns will flatten your skull into a pancake. Particularly the track "Cali Smile", when that song breaks down, shit gets destroyed.

This is obviously the clear vinyl version of the first press, of which there are 566 copies. The label decided to make the black vinyl variant the rare one, since there are only 100 black first press copies. Pretty curious move. 

Comes with a little insert. No lyrics, as usual.

Here's the first and 2nd press together. Obvious differences with the packaging, which is nice.

Worship.
