Jump Start (2013)
Plow United were pretty much the best band and the kings of what I consider my local scene in the 90s. Even though I was in northern New Jersey and Plow was from West Chester, Pennsylvania, whenever they came up by us and played shows, they were always something very special. While I don't think everyone up here thought of Plow as one of the local bands, they always felt that way to me.
This record came out in 2013 as part of that year's Record Store Day, though I wouldn't imagine it was officially part of it. Rogue RSD records out there. There were 50 of these made and it's a lathe cut 7". The four songs on here are all also on the 2013 Plow United full length, Marching Band. It's a great record and these are great songs, but I can't say I really understand the point of releasing it.
I have these four songs already and the sound quality of a lathe cut is nowhere near that of a normal record. It's kind of just a limited tchotchke for collector nerds like me to stress out over. In fact, this was the one Plow record that had been eluding me for years now. I was excited to see it finally pop up on Discogs a few weeks back and I'm happy to have it, though I cannot imagine why I would ever play it again.
