30th Anniversary Double LP on Opaque Baby Blue colored vinyl. Includes remixes from Dave Barbe the original album’s producer in 1995
This is the 30th Anniversary release. Ripe For The Trade Off was highly critically acclaimed and was in heavy rotation on college radio all around the US in 1995. Often compared to bands like The Clash, Fugazi and Husker Du, Insurgence DC recorded this album with David Barbe, of Bob Mould’s band Sugar, in Athens GA, in 1993-94.
Ripe For The Trade Off was hailed by some critics to be one of the best punk albums of 1995. Independent Magazine said that “Ripe For The Trade Off synthesizes the high points of two decades worth of overtly political punk”, while Indie File Magazine said in 1995 “this stuff packs the punch of a prize heavyweight... Smart, without being stuffy or pretentious.”
Upon remixing the album in 2024, David Barbe said “This album still holds up musically and lyrically three decades after its’ initial release!”
As part of Record Store Day, Ripe For The Trade off will be released for the first time as a double LP. The album will also include unreleased bonus tracks mixed by Don Zientara (Fugazi) at Inner Studios in Arlington, Va.
This title is released by Crooked Beat Records in Alexandria VA. It’s available to stores across the US but is on the Regional Section of the list as it will most likely be found in the Southeast.

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
