Inside Out and Youth of Today Benefit 7"

I found this 7" at some record convention in holland recently @ 'Reflection Records' booth.
A real bargain in the bin. The name Inside Out made me drool instantly.
It's a benefit 7". of Inside Out, all live tracks from 1990 and 1 studio song by Youth of Today.
It looked appealing to me since Inside Out was the former band of Rage Against The Machine frontman Zach De la Rocha.
Since one of my earliest encounters at young age with 'political based ' heavy  music was RATM i couldn't refuse buying this. Later on i discovered more of HC/ Punk and also Inside Out's classic album 'No Spirtual Surrender'
 Front Cover of Inside Out benefit 7"
Back Cover of 7" Inside Out benefit with explatonary text 


It's a 7" that was made for some womans shelters charity and the back of the cover has a long text explaining the shelter and the reason for the record. It is signed with the initials R.Y.
The only credits on the whole thing are 'front photo : Dave Sine / Tidbit fanzine.
It's a black heavy vinyl 7" with purple label on A side and green label on B side without any print.

 The purple side is the A side and contains Inside Out live songs ( Nowhere to turn / A fight for life / Unbroken / Song with Sterling Wilson on Bass )
The green side is the B side with Inside Out live ( Blind Opressor / No Spiritual Surrender ) and Youth of Today ( Goodbye/Hello ) studio version


The weird thing is that the matrix text/nrs are scratched out. As if this was bootlegged or something odd like that?  There are no inserts and nowhere any info on label, band or other credits.
Overall the sound quality sucks, especially the Inside Out live songs. Is this due to 'bad' recording or just fucked up mastering/cutting? The only decent recorded song is the Youth of Today 'Goodbye Hello' studio version.
It sounds like this video, pretty much live quality of 1990 recording gear i guess.


Quite the odd 7" but mostly in my collection due to sentimental value. I always liked Inside Out and RATM and  never seen this release before.
I've browsed the web to learn more about this one but all usual channels indicate that this is a release of the radar.
If anyone know more about this one, please help me out?

    Cool blog, nice long read ups that is what I like.

    It is a very much bad sounding bootleg.

    I think there are at least three pressings, maybe even more. Some have a thick glossy sleeve other a matte paper sleeve. Some have white labels and a large 45" hole, colored labels and small hole and darker colored labels and large 45" hole.

    Always wondered why this 7" was released, since there are much nicer sounding Inside Out live recordings out there.

    Also in 2001 or 2002, "Hello Goodbye" was officially released in much better sound quality as "One Night Stand" on the REV 100 compilation double LP.
