Description
Chain of Strength - What Holds Us Apart 7" EP released by First Strike Records in 1991. This is the third repress, limited to 500 copies on clear vinyl. The vinyl is in excellent shape, and the cover would be as well, were it not for the failed price tag removal. Otherwise, the sleeve is very clean. Check out all the pictures.
Chain of Strength was an influential straight edge band from Southern California, playing shows in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They did a reunion fairly recently ("Destroy L.A." fest) with Infest and Citizens Arrest, which was sick in its own right.
This is relentless youth crew era hardcore at its peak. This, along with Chain's other "True Till Death" EP, are classics, and have been imitated, or even covered, by countless bands thereafter, especially in the late 1990s youth crew revival bands. Though nearly-cliche in its lyrics and song topics, the way Chain of Strength did things was then, and remains now, powerful in its delivery. They displayed an emotional, introspective element to their performance that wasn't as evident in other influential bands at the time.

Goldmine Record Grading System - General Category Descriptions
- NEAR MINT (NM OR M-)
NM records are shiny, with no visible defects. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks” from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major factory defects also must be absent; a record and label obviously pressed off center is not Near Mint. If played, it will do so with no surface noise. (NM records don’t have to be “never played”; a record used on an excellent turntable can remain NM after many plays if the disc is properly cared for.)
NM covers are free of creases, ring wear and seam splits of any kind.
- VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) or EXCELLENT (E)
VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.
VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint.
- VERY GOOD (VG)
Minor writing, tape or a sticker can detract from the label. They remain a fine listening experience, just not the same as if it were in better shape.
VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam sp litting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tag on it, too.
- GOOD (G)
