Halfoff* – The Truth

My red-lettering copy came with a newsprint promo poster in addition to the lyric sheet.

Does somebody actually own a blue version that has the Half off songs pressed on it? Everyone I know (including myself) thats owns a blue one and everything I read is that the contain the PHC record. I am starting to believe the whole batch of blue was mispressed?!

this is the repress and the RIGHT ONE the mispressed with PHC

the red vinyl edition is limited to 100-150 copies only

the repress with the blue logo was the mispressed with PHC on the B-Side !

I remember reading a review on Schism (NYHC fanzine from the 80s) where Porcell was giving the record some shit for being badly recorded or for calling straight edge a coven for herd mentality. Well, has the guy ever liked punk in the first place? Has him ever considered shit like recordings punk enough ? Who fucking cares? The record is a good example of hardcore made with guts out by a bunch of kids, lots of tempo changes, even pseudo mosh parts with thrashy guitars here and there. I'd say it predates alot of things that came after in the 90's, speaking of hardened and metallic (and yes, even straight edge) hardcore. Four stars (or should i say Xs?) out of 5 for me.

There is a somewhat rare (anyone know how many?) version of the cover with blue lettering. *See "More Images" above.

Some copies of this were mispressed with the Pissed Happy Children LP tracks.

Cassette version of this album had different (and IMO better) artwork than the vinyl.
