What's the difference between the cottillion press and the Island press? Which one came first?

Mcdonald and Giles2
I was up to a point that I had almost every record released (except for the first really expensive 7's, even back then they were just unaffordable)by this label + the split releases which where usually awesome. I remember these were limited thus usually harder to find and we europeans needed to order these directly from the states or we would miss out on them big time.....I guess this kind of set off my recordcollecting interest.
Lot of these bands made me check out other bands that weren't necessarily punk or hardcore or whatever you wanna call it. I remember Fugazi coming to Europe for the first time, playing these really small 200 people venues......amazing! I have seen Scream, Soulside, Government Issue, Ignition etc etc....awesome gigs to which I have warm memories.
SST....man don't get me started about Minutemen....how freaking great was that band!!! Perfect combination of music and politics and timeless music that still sounds fresh today....."What makes a man start fires" is my favorite!
I have sold off most of my punk stuff because I got into different stuff....needless to say I kind of regret this.
Who else used to be into that stuff??? Share stories for goodtimes sake!
