SEALED 1 OMEGA TRIBE NO LOVE LOST LP 07.2018
Remastered vinyl reissue of the debut and only Omega Tribe album, originally released
in late 1983 on Corpus Christi Records. The album was recorded by guitarist Pete Fender
deep in the Poison Girls basement studio in Leyton and contains 11 punk anthems with
a pop sensibility missed by most of their curse of 1983 peers. Omega Tribe were one
of the few bands that had a much more softer, poetic and melodic style of playing that
still managed to impress, educate and influence their audiences. It was protest music
with a heart and sense of love that still is relevant 35 years later. This album has
never been reissued and deserves it's place right next to The Mob - 'Let The Tribe
Increase', Poison Girls - 'Hex' and Zounds - 'Curse Of Zounds'.

SEALED 2 ZOUNDS CAN'T CHEAT KARMA LP 03.2019
The second release on Sealed Records is a 14 track round up of the five singles by
Zounds. The debut single from 1980 'Can't Cheat Karma' was released on Crass Records
and 39 years later still stands as one of the finest singles both politically and
musically. For the next three singles Zounds released them on Rough Trade Records,
along with their debut album 'The Curse Of Zounds'. 1981's 'Demystification' was a
tense and stark masterpiece. It was followed by the haunting Mikey Dread-produced
'Dancing' and then the more straight up pop of 'More Trouble Coming Everyday'.
The final single of Zounds Mark 1 was 'La Vache Qui Rit' released on Belgium label
Not So Brave in 1983 and was originally supposed to be a split single with The Mob
but ended up with two scratchy studio tracks and two rough and raw live tracks
recorded in Holland in 1982. Every home should have these essential Zounds recordings.

SEALED 3 THE MAU MAUS SOCIETY'S REJECTS LP 03.2019
21 track singles round up from one of the UK's first wave of hardcore punk bands,
the Mau Maus. They were formed in Sheffield and in the early '80s they released a
string of hard hitting EPs on the Pax and Rebellion labels. Including 'Society's
Rejects', 'No Concern', 'Facts Of War' and 'Tear Down The Walls', all of which hit
the UK Indie Top 10. This set includes all the tracks from those four singles plus
'Give Us A Future' from the 'Punk Dead - Nah Mate, The Smell Is Jus Summink In Yer
Underpants Innit' compilation on Pax. Each track is a prime example of fury delivered
with intensity and passion. The LP comes with a A4 booklet of lyrics, reviews and
archive.

SEALED 6 TOXIC WASTE BELFAST LP 06.2021
Repress! This compilation of the Belfast-based anarcho punks was originally released
in 1987 and has been out of print for 30 years. It's a compilation of - at the time
- previously released tracks and newly recorded versions of old tracks with Dino
and Gary from D.I.R.T. doing the female vocal parts and guitars. Now "Belfast"
sees its welcome reissue on vinyl.

SEALED 7 THE NEWTOWN NEUROTICS KICK OUT! LP 05.2020
Formed in 1979 in new town Harlow, The Newtown Neurotics are one of the most underrated
yet essential punk bands. 'Kick Out!' is a 15-track round up of their first six singles
taking in the years 1979 to 1984. The first two singles 'Hypocrite' and 'When The Oil
Runs Out' were melodic nuggets released on their own No Wonder label. Both of these
singles were written prior to the election of the Thatcher monster. The horror of
this event changed what was the non-political writing style of Steve's lyrics into
the other extreme, and so in June 1982 'Kick Out The Tories' was released on CN
records. Sadly 38 years later, the lyrics are most poignant and needed than ever.
The band continued releasing single after single from the painfully personal to the
politically pertinent, all done with intelligence and style. Also included is 'Andy
Is A Corporatist/Mindless Version' taken from the 'Son Of Oi!' compilation.
The album comes with a 32 page booklet of archive - photos, reviews, interviews and
more and was conceived to be released alongside the documentary of the same name
about the band's history.

SEALED 8 RUDIMENTARY PENI : WILFRED OWEN THE CHANCES 7" 07.2020
Previously only available as a one-track CD single with the purchase Nick Blinko’s
‘The Haunted Head’ book back in November 2009, ‘Wilfred Owen The Chances’ by
Rudimentary Peni gets a release on 7” single. It’s an enervating and harrowing track
concerning the fortunes of five British WW1 soldiers, whose lyrics were originally
written by the famous war poet Wilfred Owen.

SEALED 11 LP KARMA SUTRA : BE CRUEL WITH YOUR PAST AND ALL WHO LP 12.2021
SEEK TO KEEP YOU THERE
The LP comes with a 40 page booklet of Lyrics, handouts, fanzine interviews and
statements.
...AND ALL WHO SEEK TO KEEP YOU THERE' - Karma Sutra were an anarcho pacifist
band from Luton, Bedfordshire who formed in the early '80s after the demise of the
legendary the Phallic Symbols. Karma Sutra only had one release at the time - an
album self released in 1987 called 'Daydreams Of A Production Line Worker' which
came towards the end of their lifetime. Sealed Records now release the earlier
years of demos and compilation tracks on a 15 track round up. 'Be Cruel With Your
Past And All Who Seek To Keep You There' includes their first and primitive demo
'The New Economy Roast' from 1983. It's very basic and has a 'Bullshit Detector
Compilation' quality to it. A few years later came the second demo 'Shoppers
Paradise' which is the best material Karma Sutra recorded. Six tracks of well
produced classic '80s anarcho punk with a driving sound. It's passionate, tuneful
and politically aware. How this wasn't released at the time on vinyl, is a travesty.
Also included is two tracks from the Mortarhate Compilations 'Who? What? Why?
When? Where?' and 'We Don't Want Your Fucking Law!'. Finally the last three tracks
were from the final line up of the band and were recorded with Spon from UK Decay
adding more post punk elements to the sound.

SEALED 12 LP RUDIMENTARY PENI GREAT WAR LP 04.2021
SEALED 12 CD RUDIMENTARY PENI GREAT WAR CD 04.2021
Anarcho-punk band Rudimentary Peni are not known as prolific recording artists.
‘Great War’ is only the band’s fourth LP since their 1983 debut ‘Death Church’.
The LP has been in the can for some years however. It sees the band making a more
mechanical, less organic sound whilst the lyrics tell tales of anxiety and anguish.

SEAL 13 DOROTHY I CONFESS 7" 12.2021
A I Confess
B Softness
Industrial Records, the label of Throbbing Gristle, first released this pop gem in
October 1980 and it was possibly the straightest yet weirdest release the label
ever did. Dorothy was described as a 19 year old with no prior releases, but was
actually Max the drummer from Rema Rema with help in the song writing department
from Alex Ferguson from Alternative TV and Genesis P-Orridge. 'I Confess' is a
perfect super cute pop ditty with lyrics that sound like a catholic confession.
The flip side 'Softness' is a DIY disco dance floor nugget with Dorothy's silky
smooth vocals. Includes a 12 page booklet with ephemera related to the original
Industrial Records release as well as a extract of Dorothy upcoming memoirs.

Reissue of Rudimentary Peni’s stunning debut 12-song 7”. Recorded in 1981 at Street
Level Studios and originally released on their own Outer Himalayan label. From the
first track Rudimentary Peni pull you in and aurally assault your ears.
It’s abrasive, sharp with supreme musicianship. They created a perfect, demented
universe of twisted, poetic and needle in the red punk that has never been bettered.

artwork and booklet.
