"Hot shit! You thought their past records were great, well here's 19 tracks that are rockin', thrashin', imaginative, and catchy. The slower songs have a catchy early '77 pop-punk sound, and the thrash just rips. A good mix which shows that NOTA are expanding their boundaries and coming of age as a style to US hardcore."
-Ruth Schwartz (from Maximum Rocknroll #28, September 1985)

From Ink Disease 1985:

"I like this record, don't care what Joe says. "Content with mediocrity," my ass! N.O.T.A. are extremely fast, tight and at times these songs can crunch and grind with the best. Some of their distorted melodies really grab you, especially the older and slower songs like "Nightstick Justice," "Propaganda Control," and "Takin' Away Your Rights." In these they mix the power of hardcore with the tunefulness of punk rock. Not all their music and lyrics have that punch but there are many songs that show glimpses of it like "Cut the Crap," "Keeping You Out," "Summer of '82," etc. Definitely a recommended record for all hardcore fanatics. Like me."
-Thomas Siegel (from Ink Disease #10, Winter 1985)

"Fast, powerful and well-produced hardcore from Oklahoma with metal-tinged guitars. The band just hacks through the 19 tracks without much variation, so after a while it gets kind of repetitive. Many people still regard this a classic, I guess it just depends on your tolerance level for monotony. [7]"

 Well, after 30 years of collecting Punk & Hardcore vinyl I never thought this day would come. After switching to CD in the 1990s and then to MP3 in the 2000s, I can't justify keeping my collection any longer so I offer it to you. I started collecting back in 1982 in the San Francisco Bay area where most of my records were purchased new. I moved to Florida in 1986 and still collected up unto the late 1990s. 

I have always treated my records with the most care. None of my original records are less then very good condition and most are in near mint condition. I did collect many used records over the years and also got many from friends that did not treat them so well. Those records will be described in detail as well.  All records will be shipped with a protective plastic sleeve, vinyl removed from cover to protect spine during shipping and 12 inch records will be packaged in a LP designed cardboard mailer. 7 inch records will be packaged in comparable cardboard packaging. Only the best for my old records!

Please check my other auctions for many other killer original hardcore and punk classics all this year!

Over 300 records from 1977-1999 will be up for auction until all sold.

My grading:

MINT (M): New in original un-opened packaging, perfect, never played and like new in every way. I probably won't have many of these since all were played at least once & covers moved around for decades.

NEAR MINT (NM): Opened and played very few times, only very minor visual imperfections. Super clean cover.

EXCELLENT (EX): Played lightly and well cared for, a few light scuffs. Cover may have a few creases or imperfections. Still a very clean record and cover.

VERY GOOD (VG): Has scuffs or light scratches and noticeable signs of heavier wear and handling. Cover may have more visible wear, small rips or small seam splits.

GOOD (G): Has many scuffs and scratches, signs of heavy wear and handling. Cover shows obvious marks, creases, rips, tape, seam splits or wear, labels ripped or written on. Basically not cared for. (these records were the ones I purchased used or received from friends).

+/-: If I have a hard time putting either record or cover into a solid grade.

I am happy to offer a refund where the item does not match my description.
