This time out, I've got a relatively rare compilation 12" of mid-90s punk and hardcore called "Stealing the Pocket." This record was produced by the very short-live Positively Punk label and, according to Discogs, was limited to 200 copies. The covers were hand-made and consisted of a list of the bands glued on to old record covers salvaged from thrift stores... so each cover was unique. The artwork accompanying this post and embedded in the tracks is my particular copy's. The line-up on this comp. is a bit uneven - it includes 90s HC heavyweights like Los Crudos, Capitalist Casualties, Death Side, The Pist, etc. alongside relatively unknown and quickly forgotten groups like Chickita, Potato Justice and Bound. A lot of these tracks made it on to discography releases of the more prolific bands - like Los Crudos, The Pist, Maximillian Colby, etc. Others, like the Frail and Rye Coalition tracks, were left off any other release and appear to be exclusive to this obscure little record. The stand out tracks are from Naked Aggression, Death Side, Cap Cas, Vanilla, Devoid of Faith, Los Crudos, Action Patrol, Frail, F.Y.P. and Maximillian Colby.

Just asked Allen Kung from Positively Punk about the press run. It was 1,000 copies. And I recall that they went quickly.
