Reagan Youth – Vol. 1

I’m surprised more people don’t have this in their collections. The were, without doubt, one of the greatest hardcore bands. Record sounds great, it’s flat, comes in a badass gatefold, and it’s on clear red vinyl. If you’re looking for the ‘90 version, the easiest way to know the difference is the labels are different. I think a lot of the recent reissues end up on here.

This is the worst remastering in the history of hardcore. Sucked all the life out of the original. Shame on you NRA for decimating one of the best HC records ever!

Anyone else end up with a copy that had the “limited edition green vinyl” hype sticker, but the record was clear?

My version seems to be a bootleg. It is black vinyl with no words on the label, folded sleeve with no spine, and both sides hold all of the tracks somehow.

Has this been re-released? I purchased a copy this sealed this weekend and it looks to be a new pressing & packaging (too good of condition to have been released 23 years ago in 1990).

Good album, but recorded a few years past the band's prime. If you had SEEN them in 1981 or 82, you'd know they are capable of a lot more. The album comes across like Reagan Youth lite. Good songs, but the production is too hollow to do them justice.
