An entire LP worth of pre-Ashes to Ashes demos from the almighty Final Conflict! You'll recognize a lot of these songs from Ashes to Ashes, but it also contains a few songs that weren't re-recorded for that album. Definitely much rougher and rawer than that LP would turn out to be, Nineteen Eighty Five definitely brings out the Discharge influence in FC's sound a lot more than their more polished recordings would. Pushead's original review of this demo mentioned the almighty "Iconoclast," and honestly that's the first band I thought of (particularly their raging contribution to Flipside Video Fanzine) when I first put this record on... absolutely killer! Gorgeous packaging, too, including a gatefold jacket. 540 Records

About Sorry State:
we ship every day except Monday, when we are closed. Most items ship within 24 hours most records we sell are on black vinyl, or at least the least limited version. We will not open sealed records to check the vinyl color for you, sorry all records are shipped well-packed in professional mail orders. Larger orders ($100+) are shipped double-boxed for added protection unless stated otherwise, all records are in new / unplayed condition. Note, however, that we sell many hand-assembled, DIY releases that do not come factory shrink-wrapped and may occasionally show fingerprints or other signs of light handling items are not reserved for you until you complete payment through paypal; if you choose not to pay right away there is a small chance that a customer could buy your item in our retail store, in which case you will receive a full refund. This happens extremely rarely, though we are happy to combine shipping for multiple items; ebay's shipping calculator should return the best rate for most orders
