FRONT LINE - BASIC TRAINING E.P. 2nd PRESS OUT NOW!

Hey gang,

The second, and most likely final, press of the FRONT LINE - BASIC TRAINING EP is now available to the masses. After a few months of delays with the plant I'm quite excited to finally have these. For the collector scum that have been asking, these are limited to 500 and have yellow center labels instead of red ones like the first press. Here is the updated info for distros and such:

After having been in limbo for the better part of 30 years, we are proud to bring you the long lost "BASIC TRAINING" E.P. by Norfolk, VA's FRONT LINE. Commonly known as the "Second Demo" by tape traders over the years, this was recorded in October of 1982 shortly before the band imploded, leading to the formation of BONESAW and eventually GOD'S WILL. "BASIC TRAINING" features 10 tracks of primal and vicious USHC not unlike fellow Virginians WHITE CROSS with whom they shared the stage many times over their brief existence. Select tracks from this session would go on to be featured on compilations like THE MASTER TAPE VOL. 2 on Paul Mahern's Affirmation Records (along side bands like MECHT MENSCH, ZERO BOYS, NO LABELS, and many more) and the legendary all Virginia TARANTULA ON MY COCK tape that guitarist Jeff Clites would release in 1983, but this is the first time all of these songs have officially appeared together the way they were meant to. This is raging Southern hardcore at it's finest. Comes in a glue pocket sleeve containing a 7"x14" insert with liner notes and a collage of photos and flyers from the band's year long run, along with a high quality vinyl sticker. This is the second press, limited to 500 copies with yellow center labels.
