That guy was the most pure soul in the history of VC. (Or maybe it was just because of the language barrier.)
I hope wherever he is, he's doing well.

Bump — no one ever posted about this getting a 20th anniversary reissue:

Got my copy in today and it sounds fuckin' killer. I sold my Sabot pressing in a moment of weakness a few years back, so I'm thrilled to have it back in my collection. Funny to think that Sabot did a deluxe 2xLP for $15 in 2011, and this single LP reissue ran me $37 after shipping. #thehobby

I made it into some bowls!
 

never forget

I will say, OG pressings do tend to make good bowls

I searched for the word “vinyl” to see what else they were carrying. 
 
I was not prepared for what I saw next.

Correct, correct and correct. I spent a fair amount of time with NFG during my AP days; I even wrote a cover story on the band in 2011. I considered some members of that band to be friends of mine, though that number has dwindled over the years. I do believe Steve showed poor judgment and got absolutely railroaded for it due to the public perception of the scene at large at that time (this all happened shortly after Ian Watkins from Lostprophets was arrested for being an actual pedophile who was abusing an infant).
Remember, there is always more to the story than what makes it out to the internet.

It's crazy to me how on these recent reissues they've completely erased Steve from the artwork/liner notes/song credits. Like, if you didn't know the band's history and just bought one of these records, you'd assume they were a four-piece when in actuality the guy who wrote 99% of the songs on these reissues has been Thanos-snapped out of existence.

I don't think you actually know what happened, but okay.

Ahhhhh the cancel warriors have arrived.
How do you propose we fix the graphics and liner notes on this one?

Scott has been around a long time. Has worked for various reputable companies involved with this type of music as long as I've known of him (20ish years). Scott correct me if I'm wrong but I think you worked for Alt Press many years ago when I met you through Jordan (monk0nuggets) at a show at Grog Shop. 

I'm sure he has more info than your average Joe lurking the message boards. I wouldn't say he's a fan of Steve, he probably just knows more than us and choosing to remain professional about the whole thing. 

All he said is it's kind of crazy Steve doesn't get acknowledged writing credits on modern pressings for the songs he wrote. Which is in fact, kind of strange. Shitty dude or not, those are still songs he wrote, like it or not. 

you can read his statement here

based on the info that's out there seems like he got pretty screwed by this whole thing, yeah he showed some pretty terrible judgement jerkin his gherkin to rando's on the internet, the fact is he didn't did get convicted of anything other than indecent exposure. court of public opinion destroyed this guys life.

That’s so fucked up. Like, I can see removing his photo or something, because why not be petty, but to delete his songwriting/publishing credits legit feels like it’s inviting a lawsuit.
