Welcome to Pirates Press Records. Our goal and intentions are simple, to provide high quality and collectable items for bands at a fraction of the cost. In many ways, we work with other labels & bands, bringing them together on limited and collectable formats that will continue to unify the industry. Its not about competition, its about the music and bringing everyone together on quality projects and releases.
Check out an awesome feature that our good friends at Mutinyzine did on Pirates Press!

Brand New: Pirates Press Jigsaw Puzzle!!! ($24.99)
The Ratchets- "Glory Bound" Available Now
Taking off where their two EPs left off, Glory Bound shakes at your gut. The ten tracks on this debut LP fuse rock-n-roll, punk and reggae music with The Ratchets very own explosive blend of songwriting... And because the hits are stacked from beginning to end, for one of the uninitiated, this is the perfect place to step on - the car is freshly waxed and idling and there's a full tank of gas.

The CD release is a 6 panel digipak featuring photography by Brian Appio, and the gatefold LP version is limited to 5OOpcs on 18Ogram colored vinyl.
Lucky Stiffs- "Gold in Peace, Iron in War"
Stolen equipment, stolen vans, and deported band members have never stopped SF's Lucky Stiffs. Like their fans, The Lucky Stiffs always attempt to take an unselfish look at their music and challenge themselves to step into unexplored paths. In many ways this is a key to maintaining constant excitement and enthusiasm for their place within a genre of music too often hell-bent on repetition and limitation. While it's debatable if any studio recording could ever capture the energy that The Lucky Stiffs emit live, these twelve solid tracks truly stand their ground. This album reflects the truth in their powerful message and delivery, giving you some raw insight into what keeps this band going so strong and continues to electrify and inspire so many loyal fans.

Re-Volts- S/T
What started in 2006 with four friends studio-bound to lay down the soundtrack for the incredibly strange wrestling movie "El Presidente" now finds itself fueling a revived interest in getting back on the road and continuing to write and play exciting, fun music! In the vein of The Boys or the legendary Buzzcocks with a Swingin' Utters and One Man Army-esque backbone, the Re-Volts are gearing up to refresh and revive everyone's love for that new twist on an upbeat classic sound. 10" vinyl version includes a copy of the actual CDep slipped into the record cover. Now available on CD.

RARE COCK SPARRER RE-ISSUES - Now In Stock!
At bloody last!! Two of the most requested and sort after albums have been given the Captain Oi treatment.
Cock Sparrers 2 LP's that were recorded for German Label Bitzcore in the 1990's have been re-issued. However, these releases go beyond our normal 're-issue' standards as they have been REMIXED so are essentially brand new albums!
GUILTY AS CHARGED 2009 was the bands comeback album. Originally released in 1994, our version comes with the ultra rare RUNAWAY EP as bonus tracks.
TWO MONKEYS 2009 was originally released in 1997. Again we have remixed and remastered it so it sounds great! With previously unreleased live tracks as a bonus.
Both CDs have brand new artwork, lyrics and unseen pictures. They have also been remastered by Tim Turan. The original CDs suffered from bad productions so even if you've have got the originals, you've just GOT to hear these versions to appreciate the songs.
Today I posted a new article about vinyl and record collecting. Virgil Dickerson from Vinyl Collective and Eric Mueller at Pirates Press were kind enough to answer a ton of questions I sent to them and I think it all turned out great. I also had the opportunity to interview the guys often reffered to as the "Wayne's World of record collecting" - Josh and Ken of Vinyl Vlog. They decided to answer my questions by video and I think it turned out great as well. You'll find the video on the bottom of the article. If you like vinyl and collecting records, check this one out! Cheers!
