BLACK VINYL VERSION! JUST OPENED TO VERIFY COLOR!
540 Records and Painkiller have teamed up once again to bring you the
other half of the legendary "Breakdown; Both Demos" series: the
legendary '87 demo. Breakdown's original 1987 lineup was only together
for a few short months, but in that time they produced one of the most
legendary and influential recordings in the history of New York
hardcore. Paving the way for every hard and heavy band to follow,
Breakdown's take on hardcore was balanced with the perfect mix of hip
hop's bounce, the power and dynamics of heavy metal and an unmistakable
New York accent laced across a tough, streetwise sound that could only
have come out of 1980s New York City. This LP contains the full,
nine-song '87 demo, released here for the first time on vinyl in its
entirety, backed with a crushing live set recorded on WNYU radio's
Crucial Chaos during the summer of 1987. Both recordings have been
faithfully restored from original sources and sound better than ever.
Includes a full-color, 12" x 24" poster insert with extensive notes and
anecdotes from members of the NYHC scene.
