Honestly, very few of the re-recorded albums we've seen as of late have been what I personally would consider great. I find it hard to buy them, even if it's an OOP release, where I would love to have some version of it to spin. Sonically, it's not what I remember or want. 
I absolutely get the point of doing it, but they just don't generally hold up to the lightning in a bottle that was the original in most cases. 

Y'all act like you're fuckin required to buy these. 

some kids have all the luck in the world, you lucky lil ducky.

I'm a Danzig fan. You won't get me to spend $12 and risk getting this record.

Wow they’re actually releasing a Dark Mode variant. 

Terrible photo, but I'll do one with the vinyl out and the tapes/CDs at some point.
 
It had been about a decade since I had added anything to my Undertow collection up until last year. I'm simply running out of stuff to find aside from tests. I messaged the only person who had the test for the split 7" with Struggle in their collection on Discogs sometime last year, and managed to get that. Per the guy who ran Bloodlink Records, its the only copy that had a cover made.
 
And then a few months back, I randomly acquired a copy of the Stalemate 7" off Excursion Records. Someone on Discogs commented on the mail release post saying they had a test up for grabs, and after a few emails, it was in my hands. 
 
Aside from the comps they were on, the only thing I am missing now is the test for the Control 7" on Seattle's Overkill Records, and the demo cassette with the red lettering on the front cover. I had all but given up hope on finding the Stalemate and Struggle Split tests in the wild, so hey, maybe that Control test will show up someday! Plus there are probably several more sleeve variants for that Struggle split I'm missing - Bloodlink just printed new ones on whatever paper or materials he had around when he needed them. Who knows what's out there...

Post this in all three for more internet pointsssssssss!

Do it. I saw them twice. It was absolutely worth it, especially after waiting 20 nearly years.

This sounds legit. I will take 20. Can I just mail you cash?

I wish Discogs had a numerical rating system which would be more sophisticated than just the star ranking (or do they and I don't know about it?).
This way you could sort through a title's variants by ranking and hopefully find the general consensus on the best sounding pressing.

I prefer dry cereal and I'm prepared to die on this hill.

This looks like the pressing you have.

That’s a whole lotta’ forgettable music.

Just when I think we've reached the peak of vinyl, a $30 two song 7" drops.

They didn’t even have the decency to press the two songs on a 12” and charge $30. Really rude.

It’s fitting for the band and their sound, and I mean that in the best way possible.  I like it more than the way the indie splatter turned out.

I needed some amusement today...this delivered. 
I love how after that tirade, someone asked her if the record plays...nah, she ignores the question and goes further in her meltdown. 🤣
