Pulled this from Popsike:
150 Blue Vinyl & 150 Red Vinyl were issued 150 is a approx. count. 100 of each of the colors were given to the band to sell but before they got a
chance, everything was stolen from their van what parked near CBGB's before a show. Assuming that the thieves were not hardcore fans and just wanted
the equipment. The Records were probably destroyed, Wishingwelll sold the rest to stores local to Orange County, CA. The difficulty of finding either
color of this record can be attributed to the 66% loss rate. Another fairly distressing yet humorous twist to the plot is that the owner of one of the
stores that got a number of the remaining color vinyl copies, took a dozen or so red ones home and nailed, yes nailed, them to his back porch and
watched them curl up over time. There are yellow and black sleeves for this as well.

I'll see if I can find more info. There used to be a site that had pressing info for almost every SxE record? I think it was How's Your Edge but it
doesn't seem to be up any longer. I think that guy who posted about that pressing (that's archived on Popsike) was talking about the blue & red covers
and got it mixed up:
http://members.fortunecity.com/youthoftoday/Discography/btdw...
this looks to be accurate:
Break Down The Walls : 12" Wishingwell 4 1987
1st press :
black vinyl
150 blue vinyl
150 red vinyl
Blue and red cover. The 150 count on each of the records
is what Porcell believes to have been made. 100 of each
color were given to the band to sell, but before they had a
chance, everything from their van was stolen while parked
near CBGB's before a show. Assuming the thieves were not
hardcore kids and were more interested in selling the
band's equipment than some silly records, it can be
inferred that the majority of these 200 records were
destroyed (a few were given away at the show before the
rest were stolen however). A few years later, Wishingwell
sold their remaing copies to local Orange County record
stores. The difficulty of finding either color of this
record can be attributed to their initial limited pressing
as well as the alarming 66%+ destruction rate. In another
fairly distressing yet humorous twist to the plot, I was
told that the owner of one of the stores that got a number
of the remaining color vinyl copies, took a dozen or so red
ones home and nailed, yes nailed, them to his back porch
and watched them curl up in the California sun. If anyone
knows any more destruction stories, please let me know.
2nd press :
black vinyl
Yellow and black sleeves. It is not know whether this was
an official 2nd pressing since this version is very
difficult to find.

I found a little info
A rarely seen, but much less valuable than the colored vinyl edition of Youth Of Today’s “Break Down The Walls” is this black and yellow sleeve
variant on Wishingwell records. I may be wrong but I think this might have been pressed after the Revelation edition already existed. I’ve heard some
number like 250 copies thrown around for how many were made but I have no idea where to confirm that. There’s some speculation as to whether this
edition was entirely approved by the band and may have been produced to fill out left over vinyl from the first press. I’ve heard a variety of
stories, none of which have been corroborated with any hard evidence. All I know is that you see this version very infrequently. I want to kind of
speculate and say that sometime in the future more people are going to realize how hard this one is to find and start paying more for it, but right
now it usually doesn’t break $100. If you’re a hard-core YOT fan this is the kind of thing you’re going to be happy to get sooner rather than later.

Thats what I was thinking. What a douche.
