Revelation Records & GI Joe

I’m fairly certain this is the first time I’ve EVER seen this Revelation Records thule_tide is the second owner. He traded something he doesn’t want to mention to get this one. I’d love to know what he traded. Someone get the scoop from Jordan for us, please.

    I have zero recollection of where I got it, but I have one too……in MUCH more wearable shape than this.

    ive seen numerous copies of this over the years.. so much so that I thought someone had booted it at some point.

    I personally think someone did boot it at one point. . I’ve seen 2 versions of this shirt. Same graphics on both except on one the front graphic is lighter and clearer and a second version where te front graphic is way dark and washed out.it looks Almost if someone made the screen from a photocopy of the OG shirt. If I’m not too lazy I’ll make a post about it with pics soon

    Yeah, we made some of those in the early 90s, probably some time after we got our own press because I hope we didn’t pay to have that printed. They didn’t look that great even when they were new. I took the photo (inspired by one that Ray took years earlier) and the contrast isn’t great on it. The picture was taken – along with a lot of similar shots – in the backyard at the Rev House when we first moved to CA and I developed and printed them in the darkroom at the Irvine Art Center. Then I got a paper positive halftone print and must have had that photocopied onto transparency film or enlarged onto film positive. For some reason, the halftone and the photos have been sitting in a folder in the desk next to me for years so it was pretty easy to take this picture of them and upload it here a few minutes ago:

    DAMN, that’s awesome, Jordan. Thanks for the insight. That picture is awesome.

    In your best guess, would you say the shirt pictured above is legit? Any idea?
