You're Only Young Once...
EP by Side by Side
Released	1988
Genre	Hardcore punk Youth crew
Label	Revelation Records

The You're Only Young Once... EP was the only release from the hardcore punk band Side by Side. It was released as Revelation Records number 5 in 1988. Nine years later, it was rereleased as a 22-song LP. The Revelation 5b LP release was meant to combat a popular bootleg with much of the same material.

The total pressing of the EP was just over six thousand black vinyl copies, in three equal pressings, with 17 extra in the first pressing. The LP had only one pressing of 1109 black vinyl and 100 blue vinyl, although it is still in print on CD.
