Sick Of It All X Conne Island

Sick Of It All is one of the oldest hardcore bands, maybe the band that continuously has been together the longest in hardcore period. No hiatus, no break-ups, just 30 years of going strong. I was actually lucky enough to see them play live a few weeks ago and they were incredibly good as always. Probably the only band I truly enjoy in bigger venues. They just know how to put on a great show. They've been touring in Europe and Germany excessively over the past decades and one of the venues they have played on a regular basis is Conne Island in Leipzig, which is incidentally one of the longest running diy hardcore/punk venues in Germany.

To mark 30 years of Sick Of It All, 25 years of Conne Island and a very close relationship between band and venue a special edition of SOIA's s.t. 7" was pressed. 330 copies on gold vinyl. The back cover and the inside of the sleeve as well as the lyric sheet come with a new design, mainly showing pictures of Sick Of It All shows at Conne Island over the years. I think the packaging came out really great. The records are all hand numbered and come with a stamp. There are four different stamps altogether, all of which show characters from Batman. I have #192, which comes with a Robin stamp. Not all variants were sold to the public, so getting a complete set will be tricky. I'm pretty sure some people will try nonetheless. For me, one copy is enough.

To be honest, I wasn't even at the show, but that's why you can turn to each other for help, right? Good looking out, Mike.
