Description
Faith - Subject to Change LP
Dischord Records 11 - 1983
Rare pink vinyl release of Faith's "Subject to Change" on Dischord records. Contains original lyric sheet insert and Dischord Records flyer. The corners are rounded and there is ringwear on the cover. There are some stress marks along the spine. The vinyl is in great condition.When the Faith put out this EP in 1983 it marked a critical evolution in the sound of DC hardcore and punk music in general. Alec MacKaye's voice is still as bitterly venomous as ever on the lead track "Aware," but the new dual guitar version of Faith was a far cry musically from the tracks on the Void split. As the record progresses things get even more dynamic. "Say No More" finds Alec near-singing, and ends with four hand claps. Also, rather than snarling that he wants to make society bleed, he drops lines like "It's a feeling coming from your heart. Don't want to stop it just want to know how it starts." This amazing record (along with the previous year's LPs by Scream and Marginal Man) paved the way for bands like Dag Nasty, Rites of Spring, and obviously Embrace who would continue to combine desperate introspective lyrics with angry, melody-tinged songwriting that moved even further from the hardcore formula. It should be noted that this is far from a transitional record. The eight songs on Subject to Change are totally complete and powerful, and never get old for me. The scene, however, was about to raze itself and start again from scratch. This record, in its music, lyrics, and especially the title song, was a forecast of the great things to come.
-JEFF
Like other great D.C. records, this one is released after the band is broken up. Which is sad because this is a great record, not only because of its heavy, melodious (but not poppy, in fact punk) sound, but because there are some great personal, introspective lyrics here. Things you can really relate to.
-Al Flipside, from Flipside #43, 1984
Condition:
Record: VG++
Sleeve: VG+
Very Good Plus (VG+)
A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.
Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.
In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.
