Earth Crisis - All Out War 7" 1st Pressing (Blue Labels,) Conviction Records, VG++ Record, VG Cover. Hardcore Punk RARE . Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Media Mail.
The first pressing of this record was 700 black vinyl and 300 green vinyl on Conviction Records.  All first pressing copies have light blue labels on the record, regardless of the color of the vinyl. Conviction Records also did a 2nd pressing.  All copies with green labels on the record are 2nd pressing copies, regardless of the color of the vinyl.  Copies on other record labels are later pressings. 
This is a first pressing copy with light blue labels on black vinyl. There is no number stamped on the dust sleeve. (It likely is not the original dust sleeve.) 
The record is in great shape with only and handful of extremely small and light looking scratches / smudges. It probably still sounds great! VG++
The insert is still present, and in near mint condition, with no rips, creases, stains, or even much sign of handling. The sticker that originally came with it is gone. NM
The cover basically has 3 minor dings on it which I will explain in detail. Apart from these dings it is in near perfect condition. The first, and most obvious ding, is 2 small stains on the left edge of the cover. (see close up picture) One is a half circle about 1 cm x 2 cm. A bit lower down that edge is a much smaller stain. Just a small spot at the very edge really. It is less than 1 cm. Both are visible in the close up picture of that corner. The second ding is on the opposite corner of the top front. It is just a very light and faint bend in the paper. (see close up picture) It is extremely minor. The third ding is just that the cover has started to separate at the middle fold, on both ends of that fold line. The worse side is not quite a centimeter in, and I have included a close up picture of it. The opposite side is not even half that length and it is barely even noticeable. Apart from those 3 dings the cover is in near perfect shape. I would rate it VG, regardless of these minor dings. If not for the fact that the lack of color in the cover art makes the very small stain on the front stand out more than it would on a full color cover, I would rate it even higher. 
I realize that this is a high price for a record, but since it is likely the only first pressing copy currently for sale in the world, I have to sell it for what it is worth to me. That said, I am somewhat open to negotiations.
