This is the record that kickstarted the whole scene, no question about it, Agnostic Front was the band, Victim in Pain the album, and CBGB the venue. Many say it was one of the first true hardcore releases. Of couse there were many bands playing hardcore before AF even formed, many of which were even better than AF, but nobody made music as hard and fast as Agnostic Front in 1984. Bitter music from the streets, about the harsh reality seen everyday.
To back it up, if you didn't believe the record, you just had to waltz down to CBGB (Back during the beloved Sunday Matinee days) where you could see for yourself shows that could easilly match the albums intensity. Agnostc Front toured all over the U.S. spreading what was going on in New York and helping to establish the scene, 20 years after they formed, they still play small clubs and still put on amazing shows.
As far as the record goes. Victim in Pain is just pure short, fast, raw, angry bursts of angst ridden New York hardcore at its finest. Words of politics, and disillusionment (Back before it was cool to sing about these things in hardcore) Every track is a hardcore classic, from "Last Warning" to "Your Mistake" The album is far from what they are doing on epitaph now, this is the music that made them legends. Sure I may be bloating up Agnostic Fronts legacy a bit, but there are many people that don't know anything about this scene or city other than just band names and many east-coast bands deserve more recogniton than they get.
I've had the record professionally cleaned and condition Appraisal, two independent local viynl stores both rated cover and lp at vg+.
Currently in a new antistatic cover original cover is still available.
Any questions just ask happy bidding.
