somewhere along the way of my last grieved-related post i wrote something like this: real problem was the record i ordered along. simply the wrong item. but that will be another story. so here is the story. together with the "ageing" 7" i bought their 12" e.p. called "samaritans". in the past it became some sort of habbit of some record labels chosing black as the most limited colour for their releases. such was the case with anchors aweigh records and the "samaritans" 12". as i simply don't give a fuck about black vinyl, i opted for the coloured version.
when my package came around i wasn't very delighted to see i got a black vinyl copy. i don't know what happened, either the order got mixed up or the anchors aweigh guy thought, it might be a favour to sent me a more limited version. anyway, some mails got exchanged, a little deal was carved and after two more weeks or so i got my desired record. and yeah, it was worth all the trouble.
if you liked "ageing", these "samaritans" are right up your alley. i love this dark, minor-laden (in a musical sense, of course) way of hardcore. it's passionate, it's angry, it's desperate, it's... ah well, simply listen for yourself and get involved! anchors aweigh recently upped a new pressing of "samaritans". check it out and buy your copy here. my copy is out of 300 and comes on a nice clear with solid white haze vinyl colour. it's a one-sided affair. anchors aweigh records. 2012.
