whatever it may take was the second album i bought of this german five piece, which is to date one of my favourite bands. the music itself is awesome although the sound is a bit bumpy. but this is due to the time (2002) and the comparatively little money they had. and classics are recognized by the quality of music but not sound. the original vinyl pressing seems just impossible to get and if so just for a huge amount of cash :) so i thought to get the re-release which came out in 2007. as i'm five years late on this i imagined it to be a similar pricy quest. it was sold out at all e-shop's i know so i waited for it to show up at ebay. it did eventually and as figured before it got a bit pricy... but let's not talk about that... the record was polished up a bit sound wise and got a new artwork, which is quite compatible because the record was made in memory of sophie scholl. she was a resistance fighter in the times of third reich, got executed in 1943 and belonged to a resistance group called the "white rose".
they made a few changes with the original track list which are not very favourable in my eyes because it affects the original dynamic of the whole thing. but it's very nice to listen to the songs on vinyl.
on the flip side of the cover sleeve the pressing info is noted.
as you can see i have clear red copy. there are different possibilities of explanation. either it's a writing mistake and one of the colours mentioned do not exist, 100 clear means 100 clear red, or i have a super-duper limited colour, which i doubt, frankly :)
marbled clear red vinyl. lifeforce records.
