Judge – Bringin' It Down

A supposed HC Punk band which spent thousands of $ to record an album just to scrap it and RE-record it spending again thousand of $. That's Pink Floyd attitude , not HC Punk. I think i would not even cash 1$ for a bogus band like that. My opinion.

What color has the insert ( white, yellow or purple )? Embossed Cover?

I’m really not sure what I have. I’ve owned mine for what seems like 5-10 yrs but fits this description, matrix etchings same as 1st press. Things don’t add up to me. What etchings does this have?

Can someone who owns this copy please take the time to update the photos
and maybe add the matrix info into the page?

This pressing doesn't exist. According to REV this was a mistake in the original pressing info when put together by Kev Finn creating the urban myth that "maroon labels" pressing exists.

In a nutshell this is the breakdown on the labels colours:

1st press purple labels

From 2nd press onwards the label colour changed to red (I counted at least 4 different versions with red labels, possibly there are more)

From the orange "final" pressing the labels change back to purple but different shade than the 1st press. This continues until today with the latest 2016 re-presses. There are many separate pressins of the purple labels done in 2000s. No one knows how many. I owned 3 or 4 black vinyl copies with "modern" purple labels that differed slightly (different hue of the cover, different cardstock etc) indicating several separate pressings that were meant to look identical but came out different. Jordan told me they repressed that record heaps of times, no one knows or cares to how many times.

I believe this is the red vinyl 2016 pressing. From what I understand there are 250 of them. Originally there were supposed to be 500 on gold, but there was a problem with the pressing and there were 252 on gold and 250 on transparent red.
