People who frequently visit sites like vinylcollective.com probably already knew about this, but apparently no one told us. In October last year it was anounced that Epitaph is doing a bunch of represses in various different colors for Hot Topic and Indie record stores. It's not clear whether Kings Road merch will sell even other colors.
There would be 2 batches with different release dates for classic records from Bad Religion, Bouncing Souls, Millencolin, NOFX, Pennywise and Rancid. For Bad Religion specifically, it's No Control and Against The Grain!
As Epitaph appeared to have trouble with (production of?) those records the release date of the first batch was postponend from November to February. Obviously this means the second round of releases was also delayed (originally planned for December).
On musicdirect.com there's a list of Epitaph releases, including these reissues, where No Control is listed to be shipped on February 3 and Against The Grain appears to be set for June 30.
As you can see, the release dates on those websites vary, so it's hard to tell which dates are correct.
Hot Topic excl. | Indie Store excl. | Release date | |
No Control | blue vinyl /700 | pink vinyl /500 | Feb. 11, 2014 |
Against The Grain | purple /700 | yellow vinyl /??? | June 30, 2014 |
It's said that for 2014 even more would be added to the list of reissues. As a matter of fact, the Kings Road website already has a separate section called "2014 Vinyl Reissues".

I used to try to collect all of these but this is getting ridiculous. Pressing on so many different colors to trick people in buying them. Easy cash for the label. Fuck you Epitaph, I'm out.

[quote=MONOLITH]http://www.recordshopx.com/artist/bad_religion/[/quote]Thanks Mono! looks like the pink NC and the yellow ATG info is incorrect but the Green Generator for Record Store Day looks to be right or at least make sense.

[quote=FraudulentFraudster]Called The local and Hollywood Hot Topic, no records. Wondering if the release date has been pushed back another week?.[/quote]There's a heap of the pink ones on ebay, but I haven't seen anything about the blue one at all. So... maybe?
Edit: I've just seen the yellow ATG- it's a very nice, clear golden colour. So, maybe the blue NC and purple ATG will come out together in June???
[quote=frod79]Trying to put a positive spin on it, 500 copies of ATG/NC for 'the kids' shopping at Hot Topic isn't the worst idea. I would guess that would be the most idealistic reasoning for yet another reissue when they sat at the table and agreed to do it... on the other hand they could've just sold regular copies at the store as well. At the very least don't release in the same colors to upset collectors and ebay / discog hawks. [/quote]I think that's my biggest issue- not so much the pile of re-releases, but the lack of colour variation. A quick glance around at all the coloured vinyl that different bands have (i.e. NOFX), why on earth are they sticking with single colour wax, let alone a wax that's already been done? I don't mind forking out for something that looks awesome.
And hey, if a special release for one store means that a whole pile of new people get introduced to BR, then I'm all for that too :)

[quote=Amoeba]If they really want to release whatever on vinyl to make some cash, they could at least do a 30 Years Live colored vinyl or something.. that would be a good idea.. This record is awesome... Or a 80-85 white splattered vinyl would be even 10 times better than another ATG... Edit: ok, ok i saw the No control repress available for sale on musicdirect.. so I got it :/ I'm such an idiot... 37 USD to ship to Switzerland... fuck me [small]Edited by Amoeba[/small][/quote]I would so buy those! Mr. Brett, please take note.
As for the shipping, I knew it was going to be bad- but not that bad. Ouch :(

Mooooore colored vinylez!! YEEEAAAAAaaaaaaaH!!!!!!..
Gotta watch this thru, though we wouldn't need even more variations of these vinyls.
The sad thing with these is that we've gotten to hear how crappy and unplayable most of these colored reissues have been.. Ain't there already enough pressed CD's of these albums yet? Anyone that really just wants to listen to BR only needs a PC nowadays. Yeah, orig vinyls are the real shit but orig CD's do well too!
btw.. Why does there gotta be another purple ATG again? How about that one in blue too?
