Cassette: Warzone As One Demo Original Mega Rare NYHC

Up for grabs is an original copy of the Warzone "As One" demo tape. I only played this once or twice; the tape still has the recording tabs intact. Singer Raybeez hand-made 30 copies, making this mega rare (you'll likely never see one for sale again!), making this a holy grail of New York Hardcore. If you have the means, don't sleep on this one, and buy it now!

Second printing, which adds "+3 live songs!" and additional 1987 copyright date. 30 copies made according to Duane from Some Records.

Tracks 1-6 recorded May 1986 at Demo Demo Studios, Little Italy. Track 5 includes a brief intro by Raybeez spliced in from a live show recording.

Bonus tracks:

Track 7 recorded live at Demo Demo Studios, Sept. 12, 1986

Tracks 8-9 recorded live at CBGB, July 1986

From Duane of Some Records: "The 1st version of 'As One' by WARZONE was issued in 1986. This special 1987 version was done by Ray for Some Records NYC after the 1st press of WARZONE's Revelation EP had sold out, and Ray wanted to keep the group's name front and center. It has the essentially the same packaging cover-wise as the first version with the only differences on the insert being the addition of 'c&p 1986,1987 Warzone's Righteous Jam Co./ASCAP' and 'Little Italy' added to the top of 'Recorded at Demo Demo Studios May 1986' (Demo Demo was the 'real' name of the recording studio owned and operated by Don Fury located in the Little Italy section of Manhattan). Content-wise the first version had six Songs: 'As One'/'War Between Races'/'It's Your Choice'/'Will You Ever Come Back'/'Under 18'/'Wound Up'. This second version contains those same 6 Songs but with alternate versions of 'As One' and 'War Between Races'. To make this special, Raybeez added what the cover says are '3 Live Songs'. The first extra song isn't live, it's the very first version of 'Don't Forget The Struggle, Don't Forget The Streets' that kicked off the legendary Some Records tape, a 17-song run through of Warzone's then set, recorded at Don Fury's Sept.1986 and given to Duane at Some Records for in-store play. Comes complete with Ray's intro: 'This Tape Is For Duane And All You Kids Out There Who Will Never Give In to Society's Fuckin Bullshit'. The last two songs are from a CBs show from July 1986: '12XU' and 'Young 'Til I Die'. Only 30 of these were made!"
