Revelation Records #200 will be a vinyl reissue from the Judge, Chung King Can Suck It.

The story goes:

In 1989, New York Hardcore band Judge entered the studio to record what was set to be their debut album for Revelation Records. Entering the famed NYC studio Chung King (Beastie Boys, Slayer) with a limited budget, they were left with late night sessions with rotating interns that resulted in a recording the band wasn’t happy with. Too late to scrap the album, Revelation Records founder Jordan Cooper decided to press 100 of them on white vinyl and call it Chung King Can Suck It. Cooper gave the band an additional recording budget to re-record the album, so they went to Normandy Sound and laid down what would become their official debut full-length and most notorious release, Bringin’ It Down.

Th new version, with new photos, art, and remastered recordings, comes out on Dec. 13. They play at Revolution Calling Festival in Holland tomorrow, which is probably "today" in their time zone.
