you may remember that some time ago i posted about my first copy of this superb 7". my first attempt to get a coloured copy failed dismally. so i began to check ebay constantly for it. a few times i came across the green cover version of the 2nd press but this is still black. i'm not really patient with records. i hate to just sit there and wait for a big want to show up on ebay because there's nothing you can do. but in this case the sought after object of desire didn't let me wait for too long. even more pleasant that i had the chance to get not just a coloured copy of the first press, no it was the chance to get the most limited - the pre-order version.
again this went for pretty low. a little more than 5€. ohh, come on. what's wrong with my fellow german vinyl supporters. it's almost painful to get it for that cheap. the other side of the coin is that i was pretty lucky, i should shut the fuck up and stop complaining! the 7" itself looks pretty nice. my early excitement for clear vinyl is a bit subdued as i find it boring by now because i have tons of clear vinyl records (an exaggeration i admit). but the black streaks really does it for me.
the packaging is a bit of a low budget production. a one-side printed insert on bog-standard paper and a one-side printed fold around cover on paper of thicker quality than the insert but still cheap. it doesn't bother me at all. the reverse is the case. it adds a real d.i.y. touch to it. no need to talk about the music. i already did that.
217 made for pre-order. reaper records. 2011.
