The album is a benefit for Mike skinner there drummer on every famous. He was not the drummer on the st

Hey guys I am still here. (and I just realized I never mailed out a cover to someone who wanted it and I feel like an ass) I still have like 4 copies of Teenage and thats it. (have plenty of the render split. No stages or handmade. Funny thing is I gave away a bunch of handmades about 2 years ago. had no idea they would be that wanted.....

So this was the thing you said you had "in the works" with Grade. Very excited. Thank you.

No issue at all but I will say this I rarely buy records I have already (have the 10") but I am glad I did the book is amazing and worth the price alone. Amazing job Dine alone.

Thanks for the update!

Hey Dine alone is this still happening?

Yeah I agree. Especially now with labels doing a basic color as the limited and some crazy cool splatter as the reg edition (or as a repress). I have a rule one copy of a record. I buy the color I like and that's it. Very rarley I will buy the repres of the record if I like the color or something but then I sell the original I have for cost.

A firestorm to purify.......your wallet

Grade def one of my favorite bands ever. Although I have the 10" on white (and I only buy one copy of any record normally) I will be grabbing this. (and any other grade represses)

UPDATE This is the original Delusion demo from 94. There first recorded stuff. Sadly I cant find the case at this time. This is the "to whom it may concern" Demo. It was released at the same time as "Teenage Unity". The cover went with the younger band member theme (Cris and his sister on the teenage unity cover and Kevin on this one. Sadly I have the case and not the tape (although I am sure its somewhere)

Watch out my order went through PayPal but not through there site (so they say) they refunded my money because no more in stock

Yeah Kevin came out and said one of the records was delayed at the pressing plant. Should big scary monster (who pressed then in a different country) hold them back because the US pressing got delayed?

Love this album.

I know I am impartial because he is a close friend but I love Bubblegum (have only listen to bulldozer once because I am stuck on Bubblegum) I love redbird. What a great song.

Well the yarn was just something we did early on. Honestly really time consuming. get a 2 hole puncher and tie a piece of pink yarn and you have that version (I am even to lazy to make one for myself)

Well sorta. You have to remember back in 95-96 we where just trying to get something out there and it was all we could afford (on stages) and its not like it sold like wildfire (back then it was all shows and very little mail order and of course no internet presence) The handmade covers we did for friends having no idea that there would be a demand for them 15+ years later. Nobody could have predicted that.

I get a lot of emails asking me about the pressing info on the early Delusion/Miracle of 86 info so I figure why not make an official post with pics that I can direct people too. Delusion - Stages Released in late 1995 3 Test Pressings Myself, Kevin and Joey the Drummer got one (Kevin lost most of his early records so his is gone or destroyed not sure about Joey's) 100 Clear Blue 200 Black The cover on the right was drawn by Kris after a rehearsal in Joey's basement in about 15 minutes. The second cover (the Bob Ross) was done by John Lisa when we did the Teenage unity cover mostly because we all hated the first cover. I would say less then 30 have the Bob Ross. Delusion - Teenage Unity Released summer 1996 3 test pressings (same info as above) 500 all on Blue/white There where 25 handmade covers (all different) made by the band with some friends. About 15 of them are with those friends and the band. 5 where thrown away years ago because they where really really bad and 5 I dug out last year and gave away to people who where really cool and amazing who contacted me about Kevin. So 20 are out there but only 5 made it out of SI my guess is that only about 10 still exist and as bunch of my friends have told me they are gone. Mine is very basic but has a picture I took of Kevin and Kris at a basement show who knows when. These where the 2 insert's for the Teenage unity record. The bottom one is the original. No idea why I changed it or how many of each are out there. Miracle of 86/Render Useless Split 7" Released I think early 1998 but its a bit fuzzy 5 tests (two to render one for me and two Miracle same as above) 1000 all black This record came about after both bands played a backyard show at our friend Freedom's house. I stopped running my record label right after this release. There are about 600 in my basement/Mom's house so only about 400 have made it out into the world. Its a fun record right after Miracle decided to change there name. The booklet is also really cool. If anyone has any questions just ask.

I gave away my last 10 handmade covers about a year ago to people who bought any of the old records from me. I think we did 25 only 20 or so made it out there. They mostly went to all out friends. Same thing with stages on blue. There where 100 blue and either 200 or 300 on black. They mostly all went to people who came and saw delusion on Staten Island in the mid to late 90's so most of them are probably in people's basements who could care less about the music and got them more because they where friends. Wish I could help you out but I am down to one copy of those. All I have left is like 8 reg teenage unity and 500 render useless splits haha

Dave I could not agree more about listening to the whole album. It's very rare that I listen to just one song of there's. I think thats one of the things that makes them special. People complain about how long the songs are but I love that I can put on POSBBAM and listen to the whole thing in 20 minutes.

Got my record yesterday and its perfect. Thanks again

Yeah I totally get that I would love one too as I missed it as well but the last 2 ended on eBay at 140 something which is out of control.

I spoke with Kevin at the miracle show about the prices these go for and he is not happy that any of his fans would have to pay these crazy prices for anything. He told me that we will find a way to get all of his oop albums back out again at some point but right now the new albums are priority. I say have patients and dont pay $150 for something you will be able to buy at some point for regular price.

To anyone going I will see you all there tonight but if not you can watch a live stream Sat 1/26 @fullcupsi for #Sandy relief we play our 1st show since '04. Sold out, but you can watch & donate @ http://fullcupsi.com/live/ , M86 10:30

second song "the great union divide" is one of my favorite songs.

See I love "for the Love of.." but I can see how that would not hold up to someone who did not listen to it back in the day. I wish I still had my Split Lip version of fate. I have the CD so I still have a version of is but the vinyl is gone. and thanks Juan I just ordered exit 263 and five year. Very excited.
