GIVE - LP

I was reading Across Your Face Blog post about the GIVE lp and I was reminded that I had a pretty rare version of this record that most people might not even knew existed thus this post.

LOJ played a gig up in Toronto in July 2009 and brought up a couple GIVE records to sell, the record had just came out and actual covers where not ready at the time (i think) so they made up about 20 copies with this photocopied cover with the "give flower" on it and photocopied insert and sold them here. I really did not know much about the band at the time other then it had a couple LOJ guys in the band and since I was friends with them I picked this up. I was sold on this band as soon as I put on the record. As you know they have released 5 7"s since then and the songs are just getting better and better. anyway just thought I would make a little post about this and let the give completist out there know there is another record that might be impossible to search for on eBay.

Give the alternate covers

A couple months ago I noticed Give posted all 3 of the new 7"s up on there webstore before the labels posted about them. Also in the store they had alternate covers for each of the 3 new 7"s coming out. As you know each 7" has a live picture of a member of Give but they have had friends fill in live every once and a while. So as a thank you to them they made up 50 - 100 covers up for each fill in members and one is even a full time member now.


Flowerhead "Dean Rocha" Cover /50 - Youngblood


They all have this little white block on the back cover under the labels logo. I am only going to take a picture of this record but all the back covers are the same to the actual covers. Maybe they where going to hand number them and decided against it?

I am Love "Austin" Cover /50 - Triple B
Petal Pushing "Doug Free" Cover /100 - Painkiller



With there respective covers:

Painkiller Pre - Orders.

Preorders for the new OMEGAS and GIVE singles went up about a month ago. I was sitting at the computer at work refreshing the page to make sure I was one of the first to get a order in.
this is the newest OMEGAS ny terminator 7" on white. I am not to sure of the pressing info just yet but I assume there is maybe 150-300 on white. The GIVE single is the same. This is one of the 3 new singles from GIVE another 2 great songs. Again they are matching the color of the cover with the vinyl. This band can do no wrong right now.


I am not sure if alot of the copies have this but there is a little brown streak in the copy I got.
