"Sick of It All" is the eponymous 7" EP recording by long-running New York hardcore punk band of the same name. It was the third-ever release by the influential punk/alternative label Revelation Records.

Initially, only 4,000 copies of the EP were manufactured: 1,000 on standard black vinyl, and 1,000 on red vinyl, followed by a limited numbered pressing of 300 copies earmarked for a record convention held at 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, California, and then a final general-release press run of 2,000 copies. Afterwards, in 1988, eight of these songs were re-recorded and added to their full-length debut release "Blood, Sweat and No Tears", which is generally regarded as a landmark hardcore punk album.

Revelation reissued the EP on both vinyl and compact disc in 1997 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the EP's release. SOIA lead singer Lou Koller contributed a special sleeve note to the reissue. The reissue vinyl was deliberately limited to 1,100 black vinyl copies and 102 grey vinyl copies. A final vinyl run of 300 white vinyl copies was released by Revelation in December 2001, and today only the CD edition remains in print.

Miscellanea

*The song title "It's Clobberin' Time" derives from the catchphrase made famous by the Marvel Comics character The Thing.
