Proclamation Straight Edge Hardcore 7”
#B9R003
Release Date: 02/22/1998
The PROCLAMATION Straight Edge Hardcore 7-inch was Bridge Nine’s third release, and the first from a Boston band on the label. It came out in the winter of 1998, but after almost a year and a half of letter correspondence between Chris Wrenn and vocalist Mark Fields. This eight-song EP was recorded by Chuck Yearke and was pressed twice; the first pressing of 1001 copies on three variants: white (101), red (200), and black (700). It was repressed shortly after on clear vinyl (380).
Mark Fields worked at a print shop, where the first batch of fold-over covers was misprinted with pink ink instead of red. Before the covers were recycled, at least eight were kept to use for the test pressings.
