As many of the commenters have stated – This EP is beautiful in its lyrical simplicity and naiveté and is still very catchy. It was very inspirational for Crucial Youth as it strips down the straightedge hardcore to its most fundamental core. Often we would be working on a song that was becoming relatively complex. I would come back to the benchmark of “Positive Scene” and know we were on the wrong path and scale the song back to its bare roots.

Over 20 years later, I still hear: “I don’t know what your scenes like, or if it’s really cool, I just know what my scenes like and I think it f’n’ rules, It’s a positive, positive, positive scene.”

The sleeve was a pain in the ass for this record- some copies of the first pressing went out with only a paper sleeve made on a copier, because the real sleeves were late coming back from the printer.

I’m thanked in two places on this record! It must be a great record!

has anybody told you you uploaded crucial youth’s positive scene instead of the crippled youth track? or is this a joke i didn’t get?

either way – i would really apreciate it if you replace the track.

that said > thanks for the upload – theun_k

But I always liked ‘Positive Scene’ telling me to ‘brush 2 time a day’ and have a ‘positive dental outlook’… at least CY weren’t totally humorless like so many of their compatriots.
