i am back from vacation and of course i picked up some records, but i'll need some days to listen my way through the new shit. for today i am going to deal with a record that is in my possession quite recently too. not long ago i was writing about three elder records i obtained in one fell swoop. at the time 'lore' was already released but on black vinyl only. i couldn't believe that for such a great psych/doom/stoner band there wasn't any request for some nice coloured vinyl.
i said to myself to wait something like a year for a second press. there is so much good music floating around that i could stand a year of waiting and if there still was no colour vinyl i still could get the black version instead. so i checked the label's facebook page constantly waiting for good news. they came earlier than i anticipated. a month or so ago stickman records announced to press a tour edition of 'lore' on clear vinyl. yes! the only thing that could have gotten in the way was that it sold out on tour.
as you can see it didn't. as soon as stickman put it up on their web-page i snagged a copy. looks and sounds real nice on clear vinyl. 'lore' is another masterpiece and every bit as good as 'dead roots stirring'. go get it! meanwhile check out 'compendium' and 'legend'. the record is issued on double heavy weight vinyl, printed dust sleeves and a die-cut cover sleeve. so you can choose your favourite piece of art from the dust sleeves to show through. comes with cd of the album. 500 copies made. stickman records. 2015.
