A hardcore classic that should require little introduction, 1989's Bringin' It Down marked the singular LP from NYC youth crew legends Judge. Initially formed between Youth Of Today guitarist John "Porcell" Porcelly and previous drummer Mike "Judge" Ferraro, they would further the straight-edge ethos first popularised by the likes of Minor Threat and later their shared bandmates in Straight Ahead and Gorilla Biscuits, imbuing far more heft, grit and venom into their compositions, while inadvertently laying the sonic blueprint for the metallic beatdown of the 90s NYHC scene. Noted for the band rejecting the original version, first recorded at Chung King studios due to their being severely displeased with the work of their chaotic cokehead engineer, that first pressing was only limited to 110 copies (suitably titled Chung King Can Suck It) before they could enter another studio to restart the recording process all over again, with this resulting final product ultimately leading to a bona fide sonic pillar of the movement that remains as popular and potent today. The Chung King OG version would hold the title of most expensive record ever sold on Discogs for several years (going for a ludicrous $6000), before Revelation Records would repress it for the first time ever; allowing fans to finally add both versions to their shelf without breaking the bank. While the sonic nuances are for your own ears to spot the differences, the main dichotomy between releases is the fact that this finalised version features the (at the time) new closer 'Where It Went' in place of the original's final two tracks 'Holding On' and 'No Apologies'. Hardcore completionists rejoice, you no longer have to Sophie's Choice between the two, but for the sake of argument, Bringin' It Down is the definitive beast.
