Album US 1996 on Ebullition Records label
Rock (Emo, Hardcore)
1st issue in red art cover. Includes color insert with band photo and lyrics, and a xeroxed Ebullition text insert. Vinyl sides are labeled 0 and 00. This eight song LP was not an immediate success. When it first came out it was way ahead of its time and the LP didn't really start to sell until many years after the band had broken up. At one point the LP completely stopped selling. In fact, it was selling so poorly that the label recycled all the left over inserts and covers as it appeared that no one was really interested in Portraits of Past. This turned out to be a mistake. A few years later interest in the band exploded and they started to sell a lot of LPs. So many in fact that the LP was repressed, but the original covers and cover art were no longer available. Subsequently, later issues come in reused inside-out screen printed covers. Recorded at Stanford, California in November 1995. Cover photo taken sometime July, 1995 in Ottawa. The insert photo was taken November, 1996, somewhere in Santa Cruz. Lyric insert: Printed by Punks With Presses
