Inside - Tokyo Straight Edge E.P. 7" Vinyl Record

This is a 7-inch vinyl extended play (E.P.) record by the Japanese hardcore punk band 'Inside,' titled 'Tokyo Straight Edge E.P.' The physical item consists of a square cardstock paper sleeve containing the vinyl disc, currently protected by a clear poly outer sleeve. The cover art features a stark black-and-white hand-drawn illustration depicting a fist punching through a pane of glass, which is a common visual trope in the hardcore punk subgenre to symbolize aggression and breaking barriers. The typography includes a stylized, brush-stroke font for the band name 'INSIDE' and a cleaner sans-serif for the subtitle. Notable markings include a bright yellow price sticker in the upper right quadrant showing a price of $2.99, which may leave adhesive residue if removed. The condition of the sleeve appears to be 'Very Good' to 'Near Mint,' with sharp corners and no visible ring wear, splitting, or water damage. Based on the Discogs database and band history, this release likely dates from the late 1990s or early 2000s, reflecting the DIY aesthetic of the international straight edge hardcore scene. The print quality is high-contrast, typical of small-batch independent label productions. The presence of the word 'THE' followed by a stamp in the top right corner suggests it may have been part of an organized collection or specific inventory system.
