Breakdown The '87 Demo 12 Vinyl

540 Records and Painkiller have joined forces again to present the other half of the legendary 'Breakdown; Both Demos' series: the iconic '87 demo. Breakdown's original 1987 lineup was short - lived, but they created one of the most influential recordings in New York hardcore history. Their hardcore style blended hip - hop bounce, heavy metal power, and a distinct New York accent, setting the trend for hard and heavy bands. This LP features the complete nine - song '87 demo, making its full vinyl debut here. It's paired with a powerful live set recorded on WNYU radio's Crucial Chaos in summer 1987. Both recordings are faithfully restored from original sources and sound amazing. It also comes with a full - color, 12' x 24' poster insert with stories from NYHC scene members. Tracklist includes classic songs like 'Sick People', 'Kickback', and more, both in studio and live versions. Note that the record jacket has some damage.

How to use: Simply place the vinyl on your turntable, lower the needle gently, and enjoy the music. It's a great addition to any record player. Note that the record jacket has some damage, so handle it carefully to avoid further wear. Maintenance advice: Keep the vinyl in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Clean it regularly with a vinyl brush to remove dust and debris. When not in use, store it in its sleeve to protect it from scratches.
