TURNING POINT (PUNK) It's Always Darkest... Before The Dawn (1990 US 12-track LP, the debut album by the extremely influential straight edge hardcore band. Arguably the most emulated album in melodic hardcore. Drawing influence from the likesof 7 Seconds, Breakdown and The Smiths. First pressing on black vinyl with dark navy strip and tan labels. Comes with original photo/lyric inner which has a small amount of bluetack residue on the lyric side. Sleeve is VG+, some general shelfwear and slightly faded corners whilst the vinyl looks excellent with minimal signs of play. First press is limited to 500 [109 on clear]. An absolute classic, this is a must have for hardcore collectors) more...

TURNING POINT Turning Point (Very rare 1989 Second Pressing US 6-track 7" vinyl EP, with wraparound picture sleeve and fold out lyric/picture insert, limited to 800 copies. Following on from their first demo tape, this is the official debut release from the highly-influential hardcore band, which at this time were more youth crew oriented with a focus on Straightedge and social commentary. It features unforgettable tracks such as The Few The Proud and Over The Line, which shows late frontman Frank 'Skip' Candelori at his most frustrated and angry as opposed to the more emotive tones of their later work. The sleeve shows very little in the way of age considering it has been in the wild for 30 years, and the vinyl displays little evidence of play, remaining in all round excellent condition. An utterly essential record for any hardcore, and the first copy we have ever seen here) more...
