| YOUTH OF TODAY - Break Down The Walls LP (Wishingwell Records) |
First Press Blue and red cover. I assume there was more than one pressing of the black vinyl versions. The 150 count on each of the colored vinyl. records is what Porcell believes to have been made. 100 of each color were given to the band to sell, but before they had a chance, everything from their van was stolen while parked near CBGB's before a show. Assuming the thieves were not hardcore kids and were more interested in selling the band's equipment than some silly records, it can be inferred that the majority of these 200 records were destroyed (a few were given away at the show before the rest were stolen however). A few years later, Wishingwell sold their remaing copies to local Orange County record stores. The difficulty of finding either color of this record can be attributed to their initial limited pressing as well as the alarming 66%+ destruction rate. In another fairly distressing yet humorous twist to the plot, I was told that the owner of one of the stores that got a number of the remaining color vinyl copies, took a dozen or so red ones home and nailed, yes nailed, them to his back porch and watched them curl up in the California sun. If anyone knows any more destruction stories, please let me know.

Later (second?) Press this is the mysterious version. It was done in the 80's, I'd assume there were at least a thousand of these considering the labels, cover, and inserts were all printed in the yellow / black color scheme. No one really knows any details about these though.
