Maybe you heard about this, and maybe you didn't, but at long last, here is the promised "flood edition" of the Seven Days of Samsara/Since By Man split LP. Here's the story: The records had been at Harmless for about a week, and due to space constraints, the boxes were stacked on the floor of our basement storage area/office in two large columns. Despite it being springtime (the white label/screened "tour" edition of this record did come out in January of '01, but the "regular" version with printed covers and labels did not come out until the spring), we weren't worried about flooding because the basement had NEVER flooded. Well we had a record breaking, once-in-a-hundred-years sort of storm, and pretty much every basement in the general area go about 6" of water. Thankfully, only the bottom tow boxes (65 copies) were damaged. It could have been much worse. The two columns could easily have collapsed into the water once the bottom two boxes were damaged (they were starting to lean a little when we found them). If that had happened, the regular version of this record with the printed sleeves would have become one of the rarest records in the history of hardcore. Since this was a clean water flood (as clean as rainwater can be theses days), the sleeves were destroyed but the LPs themselves were salvageable. We couldn't bring ourselves to throw away 65 copies of a brand new release, so we put them in recycled sleeves and saved them with the idea of someday releasing a "flood edition".
Well, it took us long enough, but here it is. I wish we had a better reason for taking so long with this other than "we just never got around to it", but we don't. We would like to state for the record that WE CAN MAKE NO GUARENTEE THAT THESE LPS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE. We tried to clean and inspect them as best we could, and we "test" played a bunch of them, but some of them might skip, or sound a little funny in places, This is why you should have paid at most $3 for this, if not gotten it for free. Punk rock and hardcore throughout the years has had tons of examples of "releases" you couldn't necessarily "play". Consider this our contribution.

The regular release title of "Burn The Fucking Rock Club To The Fucking Ground" does not appear on this edition.
