backtrack –
demo `08
sometimes i
feel lucky living in germany, because it seems relatively reasonable to collect
the records i’m after on ebay germany. i scored a lot gems that, i thought,
would go for much more than i paid in the end. probably it’s the very same
thing living in any other western country, i don’t know. what i want to say is,
that this hypothesis couldn’t be proved this time. i paid more for this 7” than i thought i would, and even more i paid for any other 7” before.
not that it
was an outrageous amount of cash but simply the current peak. so we all know
where this is going to end. the price will be topped. and that price will be
topped too, and so on… because it’s simply the way these things turn out. and
in the end i’m fucking broke, living in total isolation somewhere in the woods
in a cave, living of what i find on the ground and sitting over my vinyl
collection and mutter something like ‘my precious’… or something like that.
but serious
now, i’m pretty happy about this pick up. jake got a copy of it on gold vinyl.
as i saw it on his blog, i said to myself that i have to snag one at any given
time. so as soon as i won the auction i e-mailed him about it. he probably
forgot about it because it’s something like three months ago. this is how much i’m
behind with my purchases and i gave up on trying to be up-to-date. so never
expect the latest releases here, ha!
it’s the first vinyl release of backtrack on
flatspot records. flatspot pressed two colours in the first press. clear gold
and clear vinyl with clear being the more limited. 150 copies made on clear and 350 on gold. i think there is a second press also but am not entirely sure. flatspot records. 2008.
